    If we are going to desack a hog, he is already dead.

    So do you actually remove them? 
    Yes sir. However due to the lack of real cold weather, we remove only the testicles. Not the scrotum (sack). The scrotum will remain and be sewn up. 
    Interesting, I'll need to ask my dad next time I see him how they did it on the farm when he was a kid.

    Y'all being from a cold climate, there is a good chance that he desacked them.

    Do you seriously expect a reply from BGE? I've never seen one. In any case, if they killed the last thread, why would you think they won't do it again.

    Personally, such a thread wouldn't interest me in the least. I'm pretty sure most of the meat I've cooked and eaten (maybe even ALL of it) was actually slaughtered and butchered before I got it... but the process is of no interest to me. As I write this, there are several chicken thighs sitting on a 400° grid on my egg. Somehow, I don't think they just magically appeared there. Fairly sure they were killed, cut up and packaged, just for me. As long as they are well and truly dead before I put them on that grid, that's all I need to know.

    Others will be interested, and I'm not objecting to that. Just saying that you're wasting your time asking Mother and actually posting it if you expect a long lived thread. Maybe if you asked what the goats and hogs were drinking when they were dissected... Rolleyes

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    @sgh you are a wise man, while not all agree, I usually take the "better to ask permission than beg forgiveness" stance

    Please don't. I'm sure there is a slaughtering site and you can link it.

    True, but this is a site geared towards BGE...not a general email distribution list. If we had strong moderators, they would take care of it but unfortunately, we do not.

    Maybe to make it more egg forum friendly, end the thread with some of the cuts being cooked in your eggs.

    I was actually going to do that very thing. I'm wanting to smoke the whole head of the buckling and smoke a couple of the very large testicles. I'm going to deep fry the smaller testicles.

    We always have taken the bottom of the sack enough to get them out grab and pull them. Put a little iodine on there after especially in the warmer months.

    Dear Mr. @The_Buffalo, question for you sir. Recently I slaughtered a buckling and four wether goats. This weekend I'm castrating a few hogs as well. May I post this? I posted a Hog slaughter previously that got buffaloed pretty quick. I don't want to waste the time typing it up and uploading the pics if it's going to get struck by you or one of your kind. 
    For the record, I understand that this is a BGE cooking forum first and foremost. However there are many folks on the forum who would really enjoy seeing a gonadectomy performed live. As well as the slaughter and breaking of the goats. 
    I humbly and patiently await you answer brother buffalo.  

    The Buffalo takes all sensible requests into consideration, and reminds the poster that it is not always the post itself but the comments, rebuttals and insinuendos that receive his steely gaze. In this case, why not find a legal forum, where said posting would be both relevant and instructional.

    Do judicial forums like castration videos?

    First, thanks for responding to my inquiry. Some seemed sure that you would not. With that aside, as you have said brother buffalo, so shall it be done. I will post it elsewhere. Thanks for considering my request.

    I can not. The buffalo has spoken my friend. However, I will post it on smokingmeatfourum.com. Rather you are a member or not, you can view it as a guest. I have tempted the buffalo to many times in the past to not heed his word.

    My interpretation of @The_Buffalo response is this, consider your post...and then take into account that replies to it depending on what they are - or may or may not be could be grounds for the thread to be buffaloed :-) (meaning it's not because of something you've done but may come from a responder) I think permission is granted just use discretion on slaughter pics. A horror scene will get negative reactions from some on the forum -  imhp it shouldn't because it's bona fide food prep.. If it's educational it'll be fine me thinks :-)

    oh yeah, and follow up with meats cut roasting beautifully in a bge!

    The Buffalo killed a magnificient thread @SGH posted a while ago.  It was on slaughtering and curing hogs.

    No distasteful comments were made, but it got sent into the wild blue any way.

    Absolutely I expect a reply. They have always responded to my questions and inquiries in the past. Why should this time be any different? With that said, BGE has responded. Not in my favor unfortunately. Yet they did respond and did so in a timely manner. See the following quote.

    Above you said that you have never seen a response from BGE. Well now you have. As always, glad that I could help out by showing you something that you have never seen before.

    I actually thought that was my best post. Hated to see it go the way of the buffalo.
