I know. This may not seem a pretty set of images when pondering this way of life, but it is part of how we live. Every time I have an opportunity to work in our cutting room and feel these cool carcasses move through my fingers on their journey to becoming meat and sustenance for my family and community, I feel deep gratitude. This is Clint, by the way, a freelance butcher who comes to help us with our harvests. He is like a brother to me.
