That looked delicious! I lived in NY for 5 years when I was stationed at fort drum. NY has a culture of its own. I miss it at times, but don't miss the harsh winters. Thanks for the videos!!
We as chef's were taught to cook pork with Temps of 160, I had to show my boss it's gage is 160 before removing from the oven... I come home cook for all my family, my kids were all adopted... we have a huge heart and patience, we taught our kids to love one another and help out people in need... your supper looked awesome, thank you for sharing your video...
Great video Pete - My great Grandfather used to soak a whole.loaf of bread in rum and wait for a massive wild boar to come by. The boar died happy and the family got busy and well fed. Rural life is wonderful actually.
Moving pigs is no picnic. When it comes to sending them to the butcher it seems like they know what is coming next and they get real stubborn. Interesting video.
Maybe measure that step up and build your own wooden ramp to fit it and a small one for the back of the trailer as well..If you put the ramps near where the pigs are raised then my way of thinking is they will be comfortable going through the maze....
You guys are awesome! I've always admired and even envied the farmers I know. The dirt, the animals, the fields, the outdoors...everything. I must have been a farmer in a former life. Keep trucking! Nice video!
Man I remember my mom making roast pork in a big pot with sauerkraut and potatoes. The kraut and potatoes would turn brown. Applesauce on the side. It was fantastic. So many restaurants cannot cook pork chops properly. They always come out dry and tough despite the menu saying “juicy and tender”.
Great way to load hogs. I use to do the same. Feed them where you want them. I always noticed the floppy eared hogs i e Duroc pollen china, loaded and drove lots harder the the erect eared ones..i e Yorks and Hamps. Thank you for the GREAT video's!!!! Kevin.
Like 20 years ago my Dad raised 2 pigs and he said it was so hard to send them to the butcher and that he couldn't hardly eat the meat. Said he would never do it again.
It smells like death and despair. I will never process my pigs there. The preform a fast an easy service, but I prefer taking them at home, in spite of the added work it takes to hand bleed out scald scrape torch clean and eviserate.
My wife and I decided to raise pigs again this year. We had a heck of a time unloading the pigs off our trailer. We ended up making a straw bale ramp/cushion for them to step down onto. We used a small piece of plywood to encourage the pigs off the trailer. Worked pretty good after that
When I was a kid in the mid 60s, my uncle that lived next door raised pigs and he would butcher some and home and carry some to the sale. Getting them in the back of his Ford pickup was always a challenge. The Ford had stake body sides that came on and off and he use a pitchfork as a gentle prod. They always made it there alive.
Cooking to 140 or so makes all the difference. For pulled pork, low and slow until it falls apart. Loins don’t generally work for pulled pork(too lean)
I love ham hocks for soup beans, I ever get up your way I’ll try your meat sure it’s Great reminds me of my childhood wrapping meat for freezer God Bless
If you slaughter at the same place every time, maybe consider making your own ramp and bringing it if they allow. I used to be in a band and we played some pretty small stages at first and we ended up building a stage extender that we took to venues with small stages.
Never realized that there was so much loss with smoked hams. Myself i prefer just regular bacon and sausage that is seasoned right with sage. I guess to each their own, I'm the same way with salt cured hams, in my opinion that is a tradition has pretty much fell by the way side. 200 years ago they salt cured to preserve the meat. Today we have deep freezers and not much sense in my opinion of salt cured. Good video, thanks for sharing your experiences.
Yep, by the time you wrangle the pigs out of the trailer & into the pen, you're ready to make bacon out of them yourself. Lol! Haven't forgotten to email you, just been busy with manure madness. Did the last 26 loads today. Once I power wash the loader tomorrow, I'll get those measurements & pics off to you. Regards!
Thanka for being real and showing the cattle prod in use. Anyone who thinks they're cruel have never been around livestock. In the wrong hands. Sure they can be cruel. But with responsible people like yourself, its much better then any alternatives.
She’s done research and structure/handling facilities design and recommendations on all livestock. If you get a chance to read her stuff it’s fascinating. We utilized her design concepts when setting up our Dexter cattle/pig handling at our farm. Allows just my wife and myself to manage the animals without help. Much greater safety for both us and the animals.
I suggest that you use your search engine and using her name, you will find links to her work through the University of Colorado. A lot of access to her research and facilities design is free online.
Pete - Even though this video is about Pigs, I wanted to let you know I am finally going to try Dexter beef. I am picking up a 25lb box of assorted cuts from a small Minnesota Farmer on Sunday. I can't wait to try it.
Anybody that complains about a cattle prod when unloading at the “butcher” is a goofball! Lol Love your channel. Very humane tactics compared to some farm processesI have seen. Now send me some pork chops! Lol Thanks for the videos, I love them!
Ron, you are steaming your potatoes, not baking them. I'm going to change your life. Poke a dozen holes in the potato, then cover with fat, then coat in seasonings, then bake on the rack over a pan covered in foil to catch drippings. 450 until a knife goes in and out easy - cook time depends on size.
What great trickery skills, went pretty smoothly. I’d like to order some bacon please! I would buy or build a small smoker on the farm! I love smoked bacon and ham hocks for the bean pot. When I made my own smoked meat a made a neat smoker out of a retired chest freezer, I just fabricated a firebox with a duct and a computer fan to blow the smoke through the freezer.
If you've ever dealt with pigs, you'll soon find out they are extremely skiddish in a new environment.. We'd move our pigs from a pen to pasture at about 80 lbs. Even at 80 lbs they're a handfull.. A trick we used was a bucket...we'd put a bucket over their heads & they'd try to back out of it. Thats how we got em on the truck & off. Bucket over the head..
Cattle prods are more humane. I worked for over a decade with pigs. I always shipped pigs first thing in the morning so I could use the light to my advantage. Pigs will move to wards the light and further if there is an air current it needs to be with them in the desired direction or else they will balk. You are right about the step down.that is a huge obstacle also. I hope you can use that information to your advantage. Pete is my name, pic is of my wife
really enjoyed your marketing breakdown. We're just a little farm so we just sell by the side and charge on the rail. that way even if weight is lost during smoking customers already pay for the weight on the rail and get what they are looking for. also agree on the butt portion, pulled pork if not smoked often just breaks down all the good stuff. here our kids demand their big fatty butt roasts. also bang on about working with your butcher about specifics as different markets produce different tastes, as our customers also prefer the smaller roasts and we like a bit of extra fat left on the chops.
Hey Pete, before our farm went just to rowcrops and myself cattle we commercial farrowed-weaned pigs and we never used a cattle prod nothing wrong with it though we used push boards which are red plastic boards with hand holds and with conjunction of a cattle prod I’m sure you could move your pigs with a lot more ease.
Danke für das nette Video und euch euch einen schönen Tag. Bis zum nächsten Video^^ - Thanks for the nice video and have a great time, too. See you in the next video^^
It was good to hear the economics of the smoking and losing weight...being a small operation, i was wondering what is your investment per pig in feed/medicine, and what is your return per pig?
My neighbors have half a dozen sows and they use farrowing crates. It really cuts down on casualties in the first couple weeks. Crates get a bad rap because of the gestation crates that factory farms use, but as long as you only put them in for a couple weeks after farrowing and let them out to stretch their legs every day they seem happy enough.
Hi Pete. My financial wizard and I was talking about farm finance. I know you tube is a blessing for your income. You sort of had a head start being it's your family land. You sure improved your farm no question. Could you make enough on just farming with no you tube income. I guess you can make a living WITHOUT you tube. You tube is a bunch of work but you love it. Thanks, keep up the great channel. Neal
We made a living off our farm before I started on YT. So yes, it can be done. I have a bunch of older videos outlining how we did it, in the hope that more people can understand how it can be done.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm I've seen every one of your videos and every one had a good life lessons. I hope you set a positive example on farming can be done. Loved the Yankees coach and wife retired to farm. You could tell all the respect they were giving you and your family. You tube can be a guiding light of farming future. I can't wait to see you take on your pickup truck. Love to see you son help you and drive and respect it. YOU do make a difference in this world and I'm thankful to you and your tribe. Lol. Neal
@@jennifersmith8151 yes doing well, I’m a62 year old with a whole bunch of surgeries. I love your vids because it reminds me of a better time. I know how hard you guys work however I also know some of my best times were when I went to bed exhausted.
If you have some extra lumber laying around you could make a ramp and leave it there for the next time, and for others to use too. For pulled pork the neck is the best part.
Hi Pete! I know how the pastures are very important to the farm. Have you ever thought about raising Guinea Hogs? They do very well on the pastures. However this breed is a smaller breed, usually 300 pounds and less. Just thought I would throw that out there for you. I love all your videos. You are living my dream and for now I will live my dream through your videos. Thank you for sharing your farm and knowledge.
Hey Pete. Really enjoy watching what you and Hillary do. Truly a passion and commitment. Also, you don’t have to justify your use of a cattle-prod. For the narrow-minded simpletons’, they can just not watch and remain what they are, ignorant fodder.
This is why I’m doing it myself but I only butcher one at a time lol I put to much work into it to trust the butchers in my area and I don’t i raise mule foot hogs though and go out of my way to finish them on acorns witch means I have to collect them and it sucks so if I didn’t get my meat back I would be pissed.
Thanks for opening up your home and sharing. Farmers and ranchers are still, by far, the backbone of America.
Farming is my passion. I unfortunately can’t afford to buy a farm but have been around them my whole life. I absolutely love it.
Great editing. Was awesome seeing the small video clips as you reminisce about the previous year with the pigs.
Bless our hard working farmers.
And our elderly 😉
Good job Pete with wife by his side assisting,love your presentation.
Without a farmer we dont have foods

Exactly.

Only if you a sucker and haven’t learnt how to self sustain your own food😂🤣

Great closing with the family at the table!
Mom always put it in the oven and it was great. Agree , we never had pulled pork.
I agree with you on the pork roast vs pulled pork. Good puled pork is from the entire pig, roasted skin on.
Love the dinner segments lately, gives me ideas!
Hahahaha same
So agree on pork roast method !
Slowly watching all older videos.
Great Man & Wife Team ✨✨
Great Job grew up on a farm in Mn and we used cattle prods all the time. Moving pigs is very hard to do some times
Man I remember my mom making roast pork in a big pot with sauerkraut and potatoes. The kraut and potatoes would turn brown. Applesauce on the side. It was fantastic. So many restaurants cannot cook pork chops properly. They always come out dry and tough despite the menu saying “juicy and tender”.
Mmmm sounds delicious😋
I love pork but its weird I don't like pork chops.....
"Juicy & tender"🤣🤣 like chewing jerky🥴

Do the different breeds have different temperaments? Are some breeds more stubborn than others?
I just raised two pigs for the first time. They went to butcher last week I thought it would be easier then it was to send them.
Like 20 years ago my Dad raised 2 pigs and he said it was so hard to send them to the butcher and that he couldn't hardly eat the meat. Said he would never do it again.
Sad thing is the pigs know.
@@freakindawgen yep, I've delivered trailers of pigs before for a company and as soon as we pull into the yard they all go quiet, it's eerie

what a "job" that is.

Need a floor like a treadmill in the trailer to unload. Or a back wall that pushes outward.

Cooking to 140 or so makes all the difference.

Cattle prod good! Another great video!
Try using a sorting board when moving the pigs. You can make one out of plywood and it will help with the step at the processor.
We have hurdles. They will not make the pigs move over the step.
I remember putting a 5 gallon pail over the pigs head and walking them backwards. Just something to try sometime.
Yes I have tried that.
If you slaughter at the same place every time, maybe consider making your own ramp and bringing it if they allow. I used to be in a band and we played some pretty small stages at first and we ended up building a stage extender that we took to venues with small stages.
Fresh pork belly is a god send. So many good recipes especially if the skin is left on.
the piggies are going to "Freezer Camp"

Sandra Westley it’s not good to eat lots of smoked meats, they can be carcinogenic, and cause cancer of the stomach and bowels.
I enjoyed seeing the pig operation. Any thought about changing the farrowing house? You said that 1 sow laid on some piglets?
Congrats on 50k subs

That rotisserie comes in handy. I put a pork leg just butter and salt rub on the skin. Some few hours later... crispy skin roasted pork..

Nice looking hogs. We just got our first farrow to finish set. I was impressed 250# at 200 days. What mix breeds do you have?
