You're dead right, the first kill is definitely the hardest. When we first decided to keep a few chickens I got landed with the job of slaughtering, of course, while missus decides she needs to leave the house lol. Took me about 40 minutes to overcome my squeamishness and finally kill the first bird, not so bad after that. Just needed the confidence that I'd kill cleanly and not cause unnecessary suffering by botching the job.

Once the animal is dead then it's just meat (and mess) so no problems there. Good luck prepaday, hope it goes well and you gain another lifesaving skill
