Michael has dressed his own before too, but I never have seen it done yet. I've had fresh hog and chicken before, and there is nothing like it, but I was raised city before I grew into a red neck girl, and I really MUST stop naming all out livestock "pets"!

There may come a time when many will wish they had such skills, not impossible that our civilization could collapse and we become hunter/gatherers again. I'm here really to thank you most sincerely for the prayers and very fine advice. I took it.

The head was used to make what was called press meat. I think it has a fancy name now. I never liked it either. I never made it myself. MY X MIL used to use the head plus some chickens plus other things to make brunswick stew which I did like. At the age I am now I doubt if I would have the stomach to do all that. That was a long time ago. There will be some mighty good eating from that.
