Luvmypets Journal: A New Season

[luvmypets]

Its time for a pigventure! We are on route to pick up both pigs from the slaughterhouse.

Also Priss(priscilla) did wonderful for her first night in the barn. I was very nervous she would escape and rampage around the barn but when I walked in she was happilt sitting like a dog in her stall.

I was unsure how I would feel seeing them in this way but wow. At first when I saw their bloody faces it was....conflicting. But after a few minutes that confusion was replaced with curiousity. I laughed to myself and immediatly said "can't bite me anymore now can you kevin". My dad repeatedly kept asking if I was ok because he is aware of how much I love animals. After the third time I finally explained "its strange to see them this way after raising them for so long. But I would rather have this than buying pork from the store not knowing the care that went into it". Im excited! This is it, all of our time and effort. All those times I had to try not to get bitten. All those times they broke out. And now to know our pork in going to be served at restaurants in NYC, this whole thing is surreal.

Good personal/emotional transition @luvmypets And you KNOW that any pork you buy at the store had a life that couldn't possibly compare favorably to how yours were raised.

I know how much you love your animals. I am proud of you for the way you are handling going from an animal you cared for every day to it becoming meat. You are making one fine farmer!

That is some beautiful meat. Look how dark red it is!

I will now confess that your recent posts prompted me to roast up a pork shoulder today. Just so juicy and meaty... Delish! So glad I'm not orthodox Jew... I LOVE pork! (but not in govt budgets! )

Alright. The taste report is in.. I actually almost teared up it is SOO good. My dad is cooking some of it for breakfast and I got a small sample and I was just speechless.

It tastes like beef, its incredible! The fat just melts in your mouth and is so so good.
