I was searching through Youtube and stumbled on a video related to hog processing. I really enjoyed it and figured I would share!



I was surprised with the amount of fat on the pigs! I wonder if it makes sense to freeze some of it or to process it all right away.

I also found their ham processing video to be exceptional.

A great and timely post!   For the first time in many years I am going to butcher one of my pigs.   I needed the refresher.

I want to be 15 again …so I can ruin my life differently.

A couple new entries to this thread from the Farmhand's Companion.

This video focuses on butchering smaller hogs.



This next video is focused on what options exist for the storage of  freshly butchered pork.

This video really helped me understand the different parts/cuts that can be obtained from a hog.



I'm still quite new to butchery of all animals so my cuts tend to have a lot of leftover 'stew meat'. I'm always trying to improve.

As I posted elsewhere, I butchered my first pig in several years.  I couldn’t see paying someone else to do it.   The videos were a good reminder.  Idid go by the advice in one of the videos and selected a small pig.  I am glad I did. It made things easier for me.
