It all happened very quickly:

Within a minute it was over for him....
Knocked unconcious by a blow to the head -before having his throat cut.
At 7.10 am he was still running around -and by 8.00 am he was already a heap of meat....

But still an emotional event for us....

Fatima (and some other people) were worried by the threat of "Boar Taint" -because Pork was quite old -and almost too heavy to be lifted.....

So, instead of shaving him -which involves pouring hot water over the carcass and possinle contamination. we had him skinned -which avoided soaking the intestines -allowing us to remove them whole before dividing up the carcass....

The lads took the skin and cooked it at home...

Preliminary testing (a quick soup) showed the meat was free of taint -so  we could also give some away.....

Fatima and I had spent most of Sunday resting.... So we were up early for Monday morning's events....

Pork was butchered before we'd even had breakfast.....
But by 11 am Fatima was still processing the meat for the freezer....

We also distributed meat to some neighbours

So Pork has fed a number of people and it will take us several months to eat him.
His scarifice was not for nothing.

Thank You Pork!
