When I was in 9th grade Ag Shop, we butchered cattle and pigs in class. The cattle were shot with .22 just as the article pictured. Pigs were smacked in the head with a sledgehammer to knock them out, and then the jugular was cut. Hung up on an engine hoist, gutted, skinned and quartered. A butcher then hauled it away to cut up. We used push brooms to break up the coagulated blood around the shop drains. School was different back in 1965.

These days, schools prohibit poptarts for fear that someone will nibble them into the shape of a gun.

We didn't butcher livestock but we did castrate cattle, sheep and hogs and not always with a rubber band..
