[QUOTE="Bret, post: 175793, member: 703"] I remember the barrel and the hot hairy water. Making scrapers out of tin cans must have caused a few cut fingers too. Pardon me if I'm stretching this thread in the wrong direction CB but the last time we butured pigs on our place was a comedy of errors. It all turned out OK. We started with three pigs raised on site. One of the crew, the captain I guess you could call him, said "I have three at home. While we have the mess, would it be OK if I went to get them?" Everyone agreed that now was the time. Another helper piped in, "Ya know I have three also. Can I go get them?" "What's a little more mess....sure, go get'um....won't take long while we're all set up." The last three were so big that the tripods were not tall enough to lift the snouts off the ground. It made for a long fun day. This was the last day that we ever butured. That night I was collapsed in the bath tub when my hunny came in to see if I had drowned. I looked up and said, "weren't we supposed to go somewhere tonight?" We had totally forgot that we had tickets to a Kenny Roger's Concert. This is a true story. "You got to know when to hold'em and know when to scald'em." [/QUOTE]
