I remember the wonderful meals we could have after butchering the hogs on Thanksgiving Day after a summer with no meat except fried chicken. I wrote about this on 11/22/11 under the title Thanksgivings Past with a picture. Your story is just another reminder of how much alike we are. :)lil red henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494641068959278096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542626754689382068.post-16867799618491421782014-11-19T15:56:25.164-08:002014-11-19T15:56:25.164-08:00Thank you Barbara.

We didn't do it at our house. But I can recall being at a relatives place when this was done and just watching in awe as all the meat came into the house and smoke house. Thanks for sharing this. Blessings to you and yours.B.
