1. This Christmas my family decided to slaughter one of the pigs that they had been raising for the past months. 

2. There are generally two methods of slaughtering a pig: slitting the throat or shooting it in the head (but PLEASE make sure you shoot it with a large round. Their skulls are so tough, it can take 5-6 .22 caliber bullets to put one down. Domestic hogs don't seem to have the resilience of feral hogs, however.)

3. The hog right before we weighed and cleaned it

4. My uncle and grandpa removing the tail bone.

5. My mother and aunt sawing the ribs

6. The whole family standing out by the fire pit.

7. It actually turned out pretty well for a first time roast.

8. My mom serving everyone.

The full essay (it's pretty long) is on my website if anyone is interested.
