Slaughtering Pigs for the First Time on the Homestead

Good afternoon everyone! We just slaughtered our two pigs this past week and it was our first time doing it on the homestead. I have helped before and watched a few times but this took it to a new level! We were definitely nervous but overall we didn't fail so I cant complain about that. We used .22LR to dispatch the pigs and had zero issues.

Here are some of the products we used during the slaughtering and butchering process;
