Once a month at Local Pig, Alex Pope teaches a class on how to butcher a pig. Each student in the class gets the chance to make cuts on the pig and at the end of the class, everyone gets t to take home about 10 pounds of the meat they cut. Pope teaches the students in the classes, whom he says are made up of 90% men, about where each cut of meat comes from on the animal and how to properly make that cut.
