Barncast 41 — Hog wild

Filed under: Podcast, Pigs, Family — andrew at 8:38 pm on Sunday, November 19, 2006

Welcome to our 41st podcast! This week show is part normal show and part request show. The first part of the show is:

  • Welcome, and intro
  • Farm Phone, 206-202-GOAT: Wool and Citrus trees
  • Round Up
  • Farm Section: Hog make a break for it!
  • Life Section: Guests, plans, and thanksgiving

The second part of the show is something different. We’ve had several requests for a show about how to butcher poultry, so we take an audio and visual tour of butchering. If you don’t like the topic, please skip this section.

For the pictures please visit: Butchering Pictures

Please follow along with the pictures. Hopefully you can find this interesting and useful.
