Butcher Art

On Thursday I went to see an alpaca being processed into back strap, rump and neck joints, among other things. It was fairly confronting to see four of the fleeced animals sans fleece, but in the line of duty as roving reporter for the alpaca magazine, I needed to finally put all the bad rumours t bed.

I have to confess, the worst thing about the whole experience was seeing the butchers use the ban saw without any sort of guard.

I took heaps of photos, but only the following are suitable for publication on a blog.

Ohh yeah...and they gave me a hat!
