Instead of scalding use a weed burner and just burn the hair off. I used to scald 20yrs ago, weed burner speeds things up considerably. There are no ill effects to the meat and there is a lot better chance no hair in the meat. Kill, hang, burn the hair off then gut. I don't mind gutting either hanging or on a table burning is better done hanging.
