Or a chicken, goose, or cow. This little book has it all. This passage, in the cow butchering section, got my attention:
“Pen the calf up a week or two before butchering and give it plenty of feed, quiet, and attention. Keep it in familiar surroundings, if possible, with quiet, reassuring sounds. A softly playing radio nearby is a help.”
That sounds like a perfect little vacation, up until the part where you “...aim for a spot just above the eyes in the middle of the forehead.”
Gruesome and creepy. I bet most meat cows these days don’t get romanced like that before they get the bolt.
Good gravy. Butchering at home is EZ as 123. Where'd you find such a tome? I fainted!
ReplyDeleteThis book was in the basement. Probably a useful for skill to have if (when) the infrastructure crashes and people realize they can't do anything useful at all that doesn't involve a computer. Also, I think most folks that eat meat think that it comes from a package at the store. They (I) should be forced to watch animals being slaughtered once a year, just as a reminder. Wow, what an old-school rant.
