Corbett was dispatched this afternoon. Things went smoother and quicker this time and we were all done inside three hours. The crane I used for lifting the barn beams came back into action and with the better weather (dry) we were able to do the whole thing outside. Also there were five of us (John and Sandrine came to help). Hannah, Saskia and Natasha came to watch the final skinning and evisceration. I thought they'd go pale and run a mile, but in fact they were all interested (although they all swear they won't eat the meat). As we disembowled the carcass I gave them an anatomy lesson (piece by piece removing the heart, lungs, kidney, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, stomach and intestines, bladder). Photos tomorrow!
After much earned beer and food, Emily and Justin left to go on their skiing holiday, John and Sandrine went home to prepare for butchering tomorrow and after some clearing up, I set to work on making Boudin (black pudding). A long job (I've just finished and its 2.30am). I have 6 black puddings (another 3 burst during cooking) and two 1 litre black pudding loafs (for slicing and frying). Mostly gifts for neighbours.
