What I am trying to tell you is this. Pay attention you fucking clown and learn something. >> I grew up in North Alabama in the late 50,60s on a farm. Once a year (what ever time it was fucking cold) My dad would kill 5 hogs> 1 for each family. They did not shoot the heads since pork brains was a treat, Once dead before hanging from a large pecan tree on a small creek(water was a must) They boiled water in 30 gallon tubs and would scrape of hair shit bugs and what ever with BOILING SCALDING WATER . Once they did this they hung them up by the rear leg tendons. Cut the throats and collected the blood (niggers made blood pies) then cut open the hog and gut it all the guts at one time (give to the niggers doing the actual work) At this point "off with its head" and boiled for "head cheese" Then just work on up to the rear legs and there ya go. Sausage from scraps, cook down the fat for lard. Now I ain't that stoopid is eye.
