We did the same thing when I was a kid. My father could cut up a pig pretty fast. Before I went in the Navy I would do the cow skinning he did the rest. Great video.
Yeah that’s how I learned to cut up a pig and a beef , from my dad. I taught my son the same. It good to know this knowledge is not dying out. Thanks for watching and the compliment. If you ever have a question, don’t hesitate to ask.
Sorry so late. They were 3 years old and right at 300 lbs. a guy could finish them faster with better feed, but here they eat a lot of grass. It’s cheaper !
Yeah that’s kinda high for a pig, but if papered and young you will get 6-8 years out of it. They are getting really rare now. I’m probably the only one that has them in Oklahoma. I hope I’m wrong on that but I don’t know anyone else that does.
For me, about 1-1/2 to 2 years. They graze a lot on grass so they grow slower. The last 60 days I pour the grain to them to add some fat. Even if fed like commercial pigs they would take longer to grow out. But that’s why Mulefoot hogs are preferable to commercial hogs, Slower growing = better flavor.
Your very welcome. I’m not a professional butcher, but I do this every year as a way of life.

Nice job boss. Those Mulefoots are bigger than I thought they'd be.
Thanks, I have a breeder sow that will weigh 475-500 lbs. they will get big but it takes twice as long as commercial hogs. Slow growers.
Thank You Sir...Very Informative.
I know mulefoots take longer to finish. But how old were these hogs and what was average weight?

How long do you hang a mulefoot before processing?
Usually two days. I don’t like to hang more cause they dry out to bad in the cooler.
Yes they were. I also raise guinea hogs , but this bunch were all Mulefoot
Amazing Sir
A registered mulefoot hog is $450 in WI? Is that too much? I have no idea how much it's a fair price. Do you happen to know?

WHAT'S WITH THE PISTOL?
Our rights are like muscles, don’t exercise them and you lose them. I’m just exercising my rights. No other reason.
Were all 3 pigs Mulefoots?
How long does it take to get a 250 lb Mulefoot from birth?
