Heart valves have little taste. The slaughterhouse removes them for medical use – along with glands for medicines and several other non-culinary purposes. The last I heard, the squeal is still wasted.
Mine is a mechanical valve. A pig valve needs to be replacved about every 8 years, A mechanical valve has a lifetime guarantee - when it stops so does your life.

Momma pig is quite pleased with the whole thing. The expression on the youngsters’ faces tell me they’re still trying to make sense of it all………

I don’t think the pigs that “donate” that particular part survive the procedure, it not like a kidney where you have an extra one.
