I will keep it in mind as I have absolutely no intention of doing the killing myself, or being close-by for that matter.<br /><br />Yes, we are close to Monte Verde. You reach our farm through Camanducaia!

Yep. So that should work. I suggest going far away as apparently older pigs really make a lot of noise when they die. This last bit of information I did not need.<br /><br />We have a country house in Joanopolis (it's rented, but feels like ours after five years there). We can see Monte Verde (Morro Selado) from the front veranda...will you be near there?

It is a vegetable farm, but because it is so far from anything we have been talking about getting animals. A cow for milk, chickens for eggs, and then the inevitable question of animals for meat comes up. My first response was 'well we can just send it to slaughter, right?' Apparently not! Things aren't that simple and it turns out that if we want to have our own meat we are going to have to kill it and butcher it ourselves. We are still trying to make a decision of what to do...for now we have put it to the side as the thought of killing and butchering an animal makes both of us a little squeemish. We like vegetables, we grow vegetables, and harvest vegetables. Meat is a whole other thing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
