We arrived at a perfect time. The place was in full operation. Six hogs had been slaughtered that day and now all the meat must to be cut up and wrapped and put in the freezers. That's a lot of meat so it required many folks working to get the job done. Jay family and friends were in attendance.
They were in the midst of cutting up meat from the bones, cutting the meat into small pieces, then putting the meat through the grinder thus making sausage. Finally packing the sausage into plastic bags. Seven men were cutting up the meat, some were grinding the meat while the ladies wrapped the meat and labelled the packages. The place was hopping.
In the corner of the butchering shop is a stove, so when we come in from the frozen outside air, we head to the warmth. The whole atmosphere is exciting and pleasant, even though it is a huge amount of work. It's all for consumption of the good folks who are working tonight. It's farm folks getting ready to provide their family food, just they have done for hundreds of years. It is very impressive indeed. We were lucky to show Betty and Vinal the show.
