[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 177378, member: 3162"] There you go again Caustic, making sense. You're telling it just like the old timers do. Hang yourself a hog up and they come out of the woodwork telling you how you're doing it all wrong. They all want you to get water pots to 150 degrees to dip 'em and scrape 'em. Then they all go one telling it to ya. Kind of neat to listen at. We enjoy them being around. Most of my generation hasn't had to cure hams and such. I'd like to know (and have the time to do it right). One man was telling me how they used to have to rope the front leg, then the back, stretch 'em out flat, then saw off their long cutters wtih a hacksaw and castrate them. Thought he was going off on a yarn but couldn't find a grin on that poker face. Then he told me to pitch the little boars out and he'd castrate them for me. So I was jerking them up and putting them down. Whack whack he was done. No blood or nothing. I couldn't catch those little boogers quick enough. He knew what the heck he was talking about. I wanted to know how to do it but he was so doggone fast I didn't learn a thing. Got them all castrated tho. [/QUOTE]
