huntnma, I posted this a couple of years back and it wasn't taken serious according to the replies. I started using gloves on Hogs and Deer back in the 80's. I had gone to theDade City, Hernando County State Extension Service (county agent)to get info on Goats and there was a seminar going on about animal diseases and butchering, which I caught part of. Hey, since that day I started using gloves!

I'm glad you posted this, Thanks!
