Today had me thinking back about my Grandparents farm.
As far back as I can remember and in the days I was in the USMC, and the time we lived in TX, he would always butcher a calf and 3 or 4 hogs on Thanksgiving, help would always be around and he had a walk in cooler and a walk in smokehouse. He had a meat saw or band saw, he would change blades for meat/wood/metal. I think from the time I was 5 to 55, I've been around butchering something besides a turkey at Thanksgiving.
Scalding and scraping hogs/chickens, then seeing someone skinning a hog like a deer, I felt like it was just wrong some how, but I ended up doing it myself sometimes, rather than scraping. But anyway it was on my mind today when I took my nap.
