I just processed first time yesterday and I understand your concerns.. But the fear and worry before was much worse than the reality. It brings you into your food process and you know it was done humanely. If it helps you can think in terms of Kosher butchering and say a prayer at the time of processing.
Good luck to you, if you do decide to try. It is a good experience for so many of us who think of our meat in terms of a grocery store- plastic wrapped and cleaned.
