Haven't seen that since I was a kid. I can smell the sausage already!
Looks good Barry, I imagine you still have that meat saw I lent you right? Sausage looks good too.

It found it's way home :doh2:
:alscalls: :alscalls: @ ^^^^!!
Well it didn't take him long to get banned from the site Eh. :doh2: Never turn your back on a [thing you do to your finger with a needle] with a camera :doh2:
I've never done the whole process myself, just raised them, put them down, and hauld em off to a butcher. One time we loaded one on the back of the truck first then wacked em, he smashed the tailgate and ended up falling off thrashing and bruised up the meat pretty good. ( hold my beer and watch this type of deal )
Then we learnt and ended up using a machine to let em bleed n load um :laf:
Good deal Barry, looks mighty tasty !!
