Hog Butcher Day | Using the Entire Animal

You guys sure process the pig different than easter europeans. We use the head and legs to make jelly/aspic. And the skin is also used. Well yeah different people different kitchen.

Thanks for showing the steps. How much did the pig cost? I'm always amazed at how good you guys are!

I am so excited for the both of you to adventure off in processing your own hogs I am going to be more excited when I watch you start to grow your own meat it's a three-phase ordeal meaning there's three ages of hogs that you have to have around all the time when you process one group that means one out of three is being processed you have to replenish it and bring a new set of piglets or hogs in I'm so glad to see you do this this is something I've been doing all of my life and it's very very easy congratulations I respect you and I appreciate what you're doing

the cheeks are amazing. don't feed them to the dogs.

What is the purpose of using the word “dispatch” vs just killing? Love your videos!

Pork tongue and cheek meat are the best.

that has to be one little sharp knife to butcher that whole pig

I appreciate you saying that bit near the beginning of the video about it being graphic, as well as the part about where you said it's not easy. As someone who doesn't like the idea of hunting because of the killing involved, I do appreciate that.

Being a country girl I've seen pigs killed and butchered. They were usually de-haired with boiling water so the hams still had the skin. The parts we wanted smoked were sent to a neighbor who had a side business. With careful prep as they say you can use everything but the squeal. Grandma rendered all the fat for either cooking, soap making or food for her chickens.
I agree that everyone should know where their food comes from, whether it's Cheerios or chops. Farmers do not get the respect they deserve for feeding the world. There would be no food in grocery stores without them.

I am 75 years old and we used to kill hogs and used most all the hogs. The heart and liver are really good.we cooked the tongue and the head and the feet. Used the fat and the skin also. The fat for lard and cracklings. Some people used the intestines also.

One more thing. I love pork chops and over time we learned that the shoulder sliced tastes just like pork chops!

I’ve butchered my own deer for many many years as an adult but when I was a kid I would help but her cows and pigs and it is by far the most worthwhile knowledge I have ever gained!! It’s so important to see what meat cuts there are and to understand this process!! Too many people just don’t care to understand so many pieces of life and death and all the in between a!! Thank you for sharing this video with us

Ariel's axing the small cooked pig skin.what is she axing them . 😂 😂

Thanks for all the usefully information that pork looks great .its also amaxing how you don't waste anything.

fascinating and so educational....thanks.

You guys are amazing!

We raise our own animals on our farm and my son and I slaughter and butcher them ourselves. We raised two feeder pigs and processed them on our farm. Not pretty but got close to 500 pds of pork.

Why didnt yall scald the hair off before skinning the pig?

The only animals I’ve processed are shellfish and fish. Everything else I got from the store. Oh yesterday a leg 🦵🏾 from a deer.

Тушу удобнее всего разделывать обычным филейным ножом.

1 word, SAWZALL. makes life soo much easier.

What about the brain? Do you guys eat it? My grandmother used to buy sheep head mainly to cook up the brain, she loved it for some reason 😜

I said to myself. I need to binge on you videos today. I thought you guys were bad arses back then. I think you guys are legends now. Wow. Amazing, and detailed video. Thank you.

Love this kind of video.

How do I start hunting where do I even begin

I only now looking at this video,but please do not use the blood,it's against God's law...The life is in the blood (bible)...Thank you for obeying God's law..God bless you and keep you,makes his face shine upon you and give you peace...Amen🇹🇹🙏

great job guys thanks for the detailed video!!

Watch her go! Awesome its the best word to describe yall!

I love this so much! We need as people to understand where those grocery store packages come from! It's not magic.
This is an incredible example of using the entire animal and I for one, feel very blessed to have been able to see a window into proper care and living by example of "farm to table."
Thank you so, so much for this video.😇

I hope they dewormed the pig, because that’s what they do in the meat industry because they clean it up and processed the pig for the right amount of time to get it ready to eat or put in the store so we can eat it, not just Butcher it and hang it in the skillet there are the meat processing procedures the morning make sure that the meat is possibly processed thoroughly and sterile environment so no bacteria forms! So having it done this way save us from getting any bad bacteria in our meat.

It’s a not it’s no different than the further in a chicken broke its neck for sale or one honey it’s still the same process.

If you can season the head with mexican seasonings rubbed with evoo and slow roast in the oven for 3 to 4 hours on low. Take it out and fork off the meat. So delectable, eat on a taco. To die for!🥰

The pig feet are great slow cooked filled with collagen and very tasty broth.

I hate to rain on your sensitive hearts,God created both wild & domesticated animals for mankind to eat.

What about the cats? All I hear you talk about feeding the dogs.

my wife and i just moved to Alaska and pigs are one thing we are considering raising. we have other animals as well but raising our own pork will open up a lot of diversity with food prep

This video brought back memories! I remember that day like it was yesterday! Let me know when you're ready to raise your own out at the new cabin and I'll hook you up with some weaned piglets! 😊

Being Muslim I don’t eat pork. I do know that things are getting more expensive and getting crazier, and may have to one day eat pork. This video was very informative.

Real impressive

I grew up with my grandparents and parents with the neighbors doing just what our doing and with chickens,,Also has a huge huge garden love it never leave home without a salt shaker walking threw the garden to get to grandparents house...LOL and I am 69 yrs old now I remember it like it was yesterday

Just a note to say thanks for your great videos. I've been watching your channel for a while now, and really enjoy it. It's sad, however, that you have to post a disclaimer for something as natural as processing food....but that's the strange world we live in today.

Great job guys! I love the puppy dogs but the liver! OUCH! Pork liver is so good. Fried or smothered with onions and gravy is great. My favorite is boudin! You had everything you need to make it with the exception of rice and green onion. Great video.

found another jewel video! Always a pleasure finding old videos of Simple Living Alsksa!

Burned tissue creates nitrosamines which might incite neoplastic activity. Cook, don't burn.
