It's good that you and others can find a way that works for them. We are all different, that doesn't make some better than others. Often preping meat for the table was a man's job. The woman cooked it. If you were a widow with small children you learned to do what you had to do, or like @theoldchick you bartered for jobs you needed done.I send them to the local processor down the road who will cull and process them for me. He gets to keep half of what I bring.
