Could you not just kill and butcher them yourself? Not legally no. James You can process them yourself, if they are for your own consumption.
Tin bath and plenty of hot water; container to catch the blood for black-pudding; suitable structure/tree on which to suspend them once dispatched. A dirty great big freezer to accommodate the produce.
Remember the only thing that goes to waste with a pig is the squeal. :-)
It is actually stressing an animal, by the manner in which it is transported to its place of dispatch, that causes the resulting meat to be tough.
The pig-boards, far simpler to cut hand-holds into the top of the board. The boards can't be knoocked out of your hand that easily when held, as opposed to trying to grasp appengaes, such as the door-knobs. Again from experience when dealing with rearing weaners through to pork stage; also killed locally and butchered. You have to be careful that you get back what you take in. Again had that pulled over on me; just beware to some unscrupulous individual's antics.

Quality sausage and a superb roast lunch to look forward too very soon!! Because we had to keep them longer this time, the 160lb porkers turned into 240lb baconers and as they're not too fatty even for rare breed pigs one is going for bacon, one for sausages along with the legs for roasting and the shoulders for pulled pork. What do you do with the bones? Butcher has them |

Just what you need first thing on a relaxing weekend morning! Apparently it was a training exercise that 'accidently' was posted publicly. Now everybody is trying to figure out who is to blame and why it took 2 1/2 hours for the message that there was nothing wrong.  |

Sometimes, just sometimes we wish that Bob the Dog could come out with us in the trials Defender. Three problems therefore ensue : he hates the noise in the un-soundproofed cab and if we harnessed him in the pickup bed he'd hang himself if he saw a cat, a squirrel, an ice cream, in fact the whole list is too long so just think nearly everything that would appeal to a dog and/or small child. He likes small children too but can't normally manage a whole one <boom tish>. This is compounded by the fact with the jacked-up suspension and the big wheels and tyres it's too high for him to jump up these days. He's 7½ now and getting a bit creaky which is the state of my back if I try to lift him up. I told SWMBO I'd come up with a solution that didn't involve a trailer with a dog kennel mounted to it. Now t'internet is a wonderful thing and many, many solutions have been thought up over the years and a quick search yielded  All I need to do now is borrow glenanderson 's tin hat and go and tell 'Er Indoors' the good news. Note to self : Do not extol the virtues of canine crumple zones, even theoretically  |

You’re always welcome to a borrow of the hat. I’m not sure it’s going to be enough though...🤣

Saying that, back in the day, out and about down Anglesey in LR 88" with softop off. In order to prevent incidents, I'd bolted a ring to the middle of the rear bed so we could tie the setter and the Russel to it and know they were nice and safe. The ex put the wring leads on the wrong dogs so the Russel could now stand up top look over the bed. Went around a corner, looked in the mirror and noticed something missing. Russel had taken a header over the side and was now looking like a boat fender. Stopped, dragged her back on board, swapped leads and away we went. It had literally only been a second or two and the little girl was no worse for wear.  Hanging them off the doors? Hmm, maybe not. |

My middle daughter has a husky who has a full harness, if you strap that to something there’s no way she’s getting out, either on her own or accidentally, however she hates it, and manages to look like an advert for cruelty every time she has it put on!
The other thing is NEVER let a husky off the lead, it takes hours to catch them again, ask me how I know........🤔

Short chains similar to what George describes are commonly used in utes and pickups here in New Zealand. The chain, attached to the headboard on the vehicle centreline, is long enough to allow the dog to stick it's head around the side of the cab for that wind in the face experience they seem to love but short enough that they can't fall off and hang themselves or get dragged.

"....commonly used in utes and pickups here in New Zealand....." in Oz too - although it helps if you attach dog to said chain - as #1 son discovered when he noticed his kelpie taking a header over the side at a roundabout .... :-)

... or Bassett Hounds ... Don't talk to me about bl00dy Bassett Hounds! Took on a couple of siblings many years ago to stop them being destroyed. Lady owner had died and they'd had the full run of a 30 acre smallholding from pups. We knew it was going to be a challenge as we both worked and they needed a lot of exercise. I managed to score a large quantity of ex-municipal park railings and built them a huge enclosure with spacious kennel. They did not like to be left, weekends were OK but week days were a nightmare. They battered down the gate, refused to go in the pen, no neighbours/friends/total strangers would walk them during the day because they always escaped. They dug under the railings once so I had to sink chicken wire in the soil and once I was summoned home by the RSPCA because they had both got their heads stuck in the railings and the fire brigade were called out to cut them free. When they couldn't get out they 'sang the song of their people' i.e. howled all day long. Finally had to give up as the crowds of neighbours with pitchforks and flaming torches were getting bigger all the time and only managed to get them re-homed individually but they were never very happy as they were always looking for their sibling. Still feel guilty about it |
