About this episode
In this episode, Brandon and Lauren talk about not only the process of killing a pig - the challenges, techniques, and tools - but also the philosophy behind the practices they use to slaughter an animal peacefully and effectively. Learn why pigs are so hard to kill (and therefore why your tools and trajectory are so important), hear Brandon tell some stories of pigs he has missed, and why you should keep pigs with their herd up until the end.
