You boys give a fantastic view of the simplicity and, yes, even beauty of a basic part of life. You show your respect for the animal and treat it humanely. And equally important, you use as much of the animal as you can. Very respectable. The soundtrack made me feel as if I was there with y'all.

Thank You, this brings back a lot of memories from back in the late 50's in South Georgia. First hard frost my Dad and i would head out to one of my uncles farms as we lived in town. All my uncles would be there and they would kill 4 to 5 hogs i helped during the scalding to brush and scrape the hair. The first hog always had a tenderloin peeled out and my Aunts would take to the kitchen and slice and fry it up and make biscuits to put it in and a big pot of coffee. The processing would go on all day hanging the cuts in the smoke houses, making sausage and putting in lard cans and pouring hot lard over it to seal it and salting other cuts, of course had to make souse and liver pudding. They used every thing but the squeal This was hard, hard work that most folks never will know about. Now i help a friend that hunts hogs to skin and quarter the small ones to take to a processor for ground and link sausage and that is some good eating.

I enjoyed your video. We do all our own butchering here, and much of it is with friends and family. It is a tradition being lost in our commercial world. Our pigs, and sheep get to live a pretty free and easy life, and I like knowing exactly how my food was raised and butchered. So many 'citiots' have lost the knowledge and respect for where their food comes from. Thanks for the video.

Well, I'm going to have to disagree with that. I used to be a federal inspector at a slaughter house in Escondido, CA. Before that I was a meat cutter at Kroger for 15 years. Slaughter houses are required by law to keep the animal kill area separated from the general herd population so the other animals cannot see it happening. It's especially important around steers because they get very frightened when they see one of their own get killed and will gore each other to death trying to get as far away from the men doing the killing as possible. It's very inhumane. Despite how unconcerned the other hogs in this video may appear to be, most animals become terrified when seeing other animals get killed. Secondly, it's much easier draining the blood and remove hide or hair if you hoist the animal up by it's hind legs _first_. Finally, in a slaughter house, we inspect the animals after slaughter to check for measles and tumors of any kind. Then we examine the liver and palpate every inch of the internal organs, again looking for tumors. We also slice through every gland in the animal to check for signs of cancer among other things. Maybe the people in the video did this too later on---I don't know, but it's important to do before consuming any part of an animal. I would guess that many people with home slaughter operations don't know how to do these things thoroughly. It would benefit anyone to learn them though.

I am curious. Why is it important to check for tumors? I mean for other than aesthetic reasons? Here is my reason for asking. I am a cancer survivor. My oncologist explained to me that you can't catch cancer. It is not transmitted. So presumably you cannot catch cancer from eating an animal with tumors. Am I missing something?
@ebookpioneers

Many steers have one or more tumors in the liver. That's very common. Sometimes we'd just cut the tumors out and allow the rest of the liver to pass through. If the liver has a lot of tumors, we'd just toss the whole liver. If the animal had many tumors all through the body, I would call my boss, and he'd run several tests checking for chemicals mostly because sometimes cattle will get cancer from banned chemical substances or radiation. While it wouldn't hurt you to eat a cancerous tumor, it sure wouldn't taste good, so an animal full of tumors would be sent to the rendering plant.

I love the fact that the pig was just doing her own thing. She was wandering around with two other pigs, without a care. Unlike pigs in slaughterhouses who are basically tortured. She was doing her own thing, and then she was gone. There was no stress for her before being killed. Also, pigs are smart, but the other two barely looked over. I'd much rather live like that than live in the city. That is real, and open. It looks like a nice place. I also really like the music in the video. I can't help but feel sad for the pig at times, but she seemed happy beforehand, and it was a good way for her to go. People who eat meat need to realise that meat equals a life being taken... It doesn't just magically appear in a package wrapped in plastic. I'd much rather get meat that way or by hunting than buying from a shop where you'll never be sure of what happened to the animal...

While alive, they get to live outdoors, scavenging whatever they can, taking mud baths, socializing with other hogs, etc. A far cry from factory farms, which are filthy and a nightmare, and many of the animals are diseased. These guys do it the right way. :)

More people should watch this. This is where your food comes from. Perhaps on a more industrial scale, but this is it. These men raised that pig. Fed the pig, knew that pig. After slaughter, that pig will feed them and their families. They respect the pig enough to make sure it suffers as little as possible, and little will be wasted.My grandfather grew up this way but when he got older, took a job in the city. He cared enough to take his grand kids to a slaughter house he friend ran and we saw the process from beginning to end. I believe I appreciate that fine smoked bacon and ham a bit more for having seen it and participated a bit in the process.

My parents are Italians living in Australia. They do this every June to make old fashion Italian smallgoods. They only use a Castrated Young Male Pig (approx 200 kgs plus) - and castrated about 12 months earlier and feed certain foods all its life. (If you use a non castrated male pig, the meat stinks and tastes not as good - most people dont notice it, but I sure do now I have learnt the difference) They use a very old .22 rifle. They do the throat cutting and collecting of the blood too. They dont soak it in a bath tub of hot water as they dont want to cook the skin. They place the pig on a pallet on either a table or forklift. Use hand held metal jugs, scoop the hot water from a very old copper tub with fire under it and pour it over the area they want to remove the hairs with a knife. They hang it up and use a oxy torch to remove any fine hairs and then wash it down with a bucket of water with lemons in it, the outside of the pig. Now my dad is older and he uses a thin bladed small chain saw to cut it in halves, up to its nose and then lets it hang over night. Good job guys. Oh love the Heeler but should never dock its tail. Its all good, each to their own. lol hugs PS I was so lucky to be brought up on the farm to notice things differently eg food, life style and so on. It was very hard work though. I enjoyed being able to make things and do things city people couldnt and had the wildest pets ever, from dogs, cats to Deers, Kangaroos and an Emu. woo hoo. Oh and fresh pizzas all the time. lol

The nut on the lower deck wouldn't come off.Piss poor weld on the top where the "T" was welded on.I said: "I can fix that."Ground the top of it and gas welded the "T" back on. Then grabbed a scrap piece of 1/4" by 1" strap off the floor and welded it over the top from both sides and heated it up and bent it over on Grandpa's anvil and hammered it around and welded it.As we let it cool we had a beer. I said: "Now break THAT sumbitch!"Two tried, then all four leaned on it and *POP* the nut came loose!They didn't call me "City Boy" after that...I was 18...:)

In Sardinia we don't cut off the head, we use to divide the two parts of the hog with the head. For the rest of the work it's similar to Sardinian's style. The head is usually given to the poor people of the neighborhood, and it tastes great boiled with fava beans and wild fennel. I really like the respect of all the boys there during all the butchering, they feel the soul of the animal and the huge responsibility in the taking of a life. Very great and respectful people!

...nothing lives without something else dyin'...for those vegans complaining out there...even the blackberries in the cobbler were alive before they were picked...I had a tough time with this when I was young...I wish my Dad had sat me down and explained life a little better...but he was a farm boy who moved to the city after his service in the Army in WWII...and the resources aren't around to teach these things properly in the city...he did take me out to a friend's farm and taught me to shoot a 22...and had me watch as chickens were killed and perpared for dinner...for that I am grateful...also learned much more from my farm girl wife and her family...heck...I give thanks now for the fire wood I cut...for it being provided for our warmth in the Winter...and yeah...that firewood was alive at one time too...thanks for the video...

I remember doing that many times. As a kid my job was to tend the big black pot where we rendered out the lard. Has to be hot but not too hot so as not to burn. Cracklins are good.

What's the tool you fellows are using to take the hair of in the tub? Looks a heck of a lot easier than anything I've used when we've slaughtered before.

The key to getting the hair off so easily is the boiling water, then any tool even a blunt knife will do the trick.

I must say, you all know how to harvest your pigs with respect and kindness. It is never easy to kill anything. But life ends and others must survive. You all did a great job. My pigs go to a processor and I have no idea what they experience...

Great video guys. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I must admit it really made me think. I like how you mentioned about respecting the pigs life as she gives it up to sustain yours (ours). Yesterday we got two Hampshire pigs about 2 months old and we will be breeding them so we can have some feeder pigs. Also, excellent job on the music. I was wondering who the music was done by as I would like to hear more of that. Thanks so much for a genuine heart felt video on something we need a good understanding of. Excellent job!

iv been a part of this process a few times, you use all the good stuff, make fresh cracklins, fresh meat, the only part that really sucks is the scrape, the rest of it is pretty easy, you just have to know where to cut for what you want !

Tamás Molnár judging by your name, I'm guessing you're Hungarian. I lived in Hungary 4 years, in a small Southern Hungarian town. I attended a number of pig killings, typically in December, in the Hungarian traditional sense. They were very similar. As far as traditional, who's to say the people in the video, their parents or ancestors, weren't from the 'old country'. Traditional rituals aren't necessarily required to be performed in an ancient town. I loved Hungary, and the closeness of its community and friends. I loved the country, the Danube and its flood-planes. And it's warm people. Why not focus on commonality, like friends, family, and truly understanding what it means to eat meat--to take a life and be responsible for that, and to appreciate and use it fully? I applaud the video and wish this process was more a common element in our American society. We're too far removed from what we eat. And these pigs depicted, up until their end, led a much kinder life than those raised in industrial farms. Congrats to you and your family. Enjoy.Peace.

Comedian Jerry Clower told of the family pig saving the entire family, when their house caught fire during the night. It came into the house and woke everyone up in every room.The next Thanksgiving the pig was walking on three legs.Guest asked,"did he get hit by a car?" "No ! "Jerry said ," were eatin that ham today." You don't eat a family HERO all at once, we're going to enjoy him over the next year! " He's just like one of the family now !?" (GREAT Video- I make fish bait from hog hide,like Uncle Josh's Baits)unbelievable how well they work, just soaked in pickling salt brine 6 months outside during Winter. Brine strong enough to float an egg half way out of water.Just the salt is a great attractant ! Dad caught huge Northern Pike one 3"x 2" pieces of "Salt Pork!" Couple hours, squeeze it out and put in jar to regenerate. Minnows are up to $1 each in Minnesota. The more skills you learn from these great videos may save your life some day. It might be soon w/ election choices we have.Obama medical coverage- I'm paying $1000 per month for insulin ; in Mexico Novolog is $65 - 5 pen box compared to $474 I pay. Need two types so $950 a month. plus DR.s other 13 pills per day. Make $2400 mo. retirement,car/tk insurance/medical ins $650 you don't pay premium, Gov't slaps lien against your home or retirement income./house payment $1000/house ins/ electric/gas/maybe food after repair costs. Retirement /disability sucks. Gave up on Dr.s & healed myself bleeding internally , cured in wk; doctored over a yr. for it,just got worse?! Do I sound disgusted ? SORRY , wish you all well. I wandered,"Do Vigens breast feed ?"

We used to use a 55 gallon barrel nailed to a picnic table for scalding. Slide the pig off the table into the barrel of hot water then drag it back out to scrape the bristles.
