My grandparents dropped out of retirement in Australia, bought a smallholding, and raised pigs, chickens and calves for most of the rest of their lives.
My grandmother had no trouble slaughtering their livestock ("Oh, Bully was such a sweet calf," she'd say, chewing her way through a steak), but apparently there were a couple of smallholdings down the road which couldn't bear to kill their own pigs.
To solve this, they would swap pigs with each other.
