What about that group that takes deer from hunters in the fall and butcher/process them for the poor? They would have to have a pretty big set up.Are there any organizations that would take the charity? This could feed thousands! Such a waste, but it's hard to handle that quantity.
.Would it be easier if someone found a butcher who would take delivery if it came with a list of "here's a hundred people who will buy them after they're butchered"? Or maybe there aren't many butchers who operate on the 400 pigs-a-day scale... and have healthy employees.
I can remember our nextdoor neighbors doing it in their basement when I was a kid (they were straight out of the hills of Tennessee). All of the "dressing" work was done I think, by the time they got them home, but they would cut them up into the various cuts of meat. I remember helping package it up and labeling the butcher paper-wrapped "packages".
They would render their own lard in the back yard in a cast iron kettle over a fire. It was like living nextdoor to the Beverly Hillbillies. The mom even made her own lye soap.
We butchered 6-8 hogs at a time as a family when I was a kid. Remember my grandma boiling hogs heads and the after skinning the head, mincing the face meat, for minced meat pie. Real minced meat pie! Can't even think about what they call minced meat pie nowadays...
It just isn't the sensibilities of today... Pu**ies
