Yeah I would have maybe been a little more upset if my boys were like 2 or 3! That would have been quite tramatic at a younger age I think.
A few months back I shot a couple feral hogs at the house and my older two girls (2 and 4 years old) were so interested in it and wanted to help clean them. I think my wife has a picture of them each holding a leg while I skinned it.
Every time my oldest daughter would see the last butcher calf we fed out she would ask "can we eat it yet?". They definitely know where the meat comes from.
