Fall on the Farm

...at the Heritage Museum in Steinbach. Cory's family puts on a hog butchering "show" where they cut up a hog, grind it up, make sausage, head cheese, ribs and other meat products we say in Low German but I'm unable to spell!

Where's the other meat? And German stuff we all can't spell? I guess my memories of butchering are not eyeballs...

That is simply disgusting yet looks like beautiful art. Weird!

I can't believe how popular pigs eyes are... Look at all the interest you are generating!
Hasn't everyone taken biology or anatomy and dissected cows eyes - or a baby pig? Now that's cool!

I refrained from dissection on too tender-hearted principles. The bug collection nearly did me in! That one eye looks like a baby dragon to me!
