Remember clostridium is the eitiolgy of botulism.
Clostridium is an anerobe as in it needs no oxygen to flourish. It actually cannot multiply WITH oxygen. There fore wrapping meat in plastic is contraindicated in the ageing process.. l prefer using pillow cases to wrap the meat in. Gallon jugs or so frozen and big coolers with a sight air gap. Then at night when it is cool hang it out side to get more air. I got meat panniers hanging from steel fence panels.
Or out in the woods use motorcycle tie down straps to lift the quarters. When I finally butcher I will soak the quarters or meat in cold vinegar solution. I have also seared hair off with a blow torch. I am iganorant about postg pictures so if some one wants photos pm me . I can email them. Just stay away from plastic wrapped.
