 Men and women were traditionally assigned different jobs during the slaughter.It was commonly the men who were doing the actual slaughter, the larger part of butchering, and the grinding of meat.Because the society is traditionally patriarchal, the women were in charge of a relatively menial tasks, such as waiting and cooking for the whole crew throughout the event, keeping the environment clean (washing and scrubbing), as well as the emptying the pigs' bowels in order to make them suitable for holding sausage meat.
