WTG Penelope! You did a great job. There are only a hand full of young ladies your age that are able to learn how to put food on your table that is not from the grocery store. You have exceptional parents!
You are teaching your daughter skills that have been lost over time with the industrialization of food processing. Pen will know how to take care of herself better than most of her peers could even dream of. You're doing her a great service by teaching her to grow and process her own food, both plant and animal.
We got kune pigs because we wanted to start with a smaller pig for ease of processing it ourselves. We are also looking forward to the fat. I have memories as a child at my grandma’s table cutting up frozen lard into cubes for her to render it. Now I have grandkids. Thanks for sharing!
I think it is wonderful that you are Teaching your children the Homesteader Way. Skills you are Taught Young and Keep with you for Life. And you Won’t Find that Class in City Schools. Bravo
Love how Penelope just jumps right in and does it. Reminds me of myself and my sibling's boys and girls we learned to do everything on the farm. Lot of skills there I have surely forgotten; wish I still knew them.
Jason it was good to see you reflect on the impact on yourself of looking after the Kuni’s for 20 months; from birth to freezer. I imagine it was a little harder to process them than say a chicken, but you did it with respect and then onto your table. Also hats off to Penelope 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 🐖
I like the way you told your story and show your emotions with you and your family during this pig processing video. This was kind of like the backstory, more like a rest of the story video.
Did you 2 ever think when you first were married that you would be raising and butchering pigs of your own? ...also teaching your child how to do this? It's so awesome all that you do!
I just watched the video. You made five years ago with your daughter, making a mud pie. That was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. She sure grown up to be a beautiful young lady.
Hands-on biology homeschooling. On a farm/homestead, you see how it's made, how it's raised, and how it's harvested. You will never get that dissecting a frog in middle-school biology class. Without question, you learn so much school. I will never take away from the vast funnel of knowledge provided to our youth through school. My point is balance and recognition. Maybe, just maybe, bring so-called school children out to a local farm/homestead and experience first hand the miracle of life's cycles.
Good way to guarantee your daughter will not be stuck with a dusty do nothing man. They're all going to have to level WAAAY up or ELSE. 😅 I NEED to get my daughter to do more with us as far as homesteading goes.. good job!!!
As kids we would go hunting with Dad and he would walk us through skinning & butchering. I remember doing rabbits, squirrels, deer, pigs, fish and pheasants.
You do an awesome job with your animals! What you are feeling is what we call on our farm empty pen syndrome. Excited to get the harvest but miss the interaction.❤
Hi, Jason, Lorraine, and Penelope! Great job! You three work together so well. Jason, I am hoping you will do an end of year video. Lorraine, it was great seeing you being able to use your kitchen island.
I call them bus tubs too cause I used to work in the restaurant business for almost 20 years. They call them lugs in the butchering business. I didn't know and Farmers usually don't know what a bus tub is. Lol.
I usually pull off the leaf lard before I chill the rest. Never really thought through that but is you are sending it off to be butchered you won’t get it unless you take it off then. Now I have another reason. That looked rather difficult
Seems like only yesterday that you just moved to the property, you sure have come a long way, I guess that I kinda was home schooled doing this because I worked on a farm butchering cows and pigs at a young age
you may already know but just incase.. its good to grind the fat up before you render it down.. as you can get more released out of it to use.. hope that helps.. well done penelope..much love to you all xx
Yes, it is hard after caring for them all that time, but to make the investments pay you have to do it for years. Otherwise that is the most expensive meat you will ever eat. Every year the price drops as you reuse and save on the investments in equipment. You will still have to replace stuff as it wears out, but the initial investment is huge and needs to be spread out over years to make sense. Did the same thing with fishing for family table. It was always cheaper to buy at the store the first year but by the third or fourth year it was so much cheaper. And we knew the quality and how it was handled.
Great content as usual, from beginning to end, from technical butchering class to emotional expression at the end. And that juicy morsel that you teased us with.... Shame on you Jason!!!! 😂 just kidding....I could almost taste that melt in your mouth fat... Had to make do with a store bought fatty piece of lamb!!!! Delicious! But of course not as delicious as yours! Blessings to your family❤🙏🇨🇦😊
WTG Penelope! You did a great job. There are only a hand full of young ladies your age that are able to learn how to put food on your table that is not from the grocery store. You have exceptional parents!
Awesome to see that young lady learning these valuable skills. Some of the best schooling yall could give her.
You are teaching your daughter skills that have been lost over time with the industrialization of food processing. Pen will know how to take care of herself better than most of her peers could even dream of. You're doing her a great service by teaching her to grow and process her own food, both plant and animal.
Great Job. I can show my grandchildren that their food is not created in the back room of the grocery store
what a wonderful upbringing and homestead education she has enjoyed. and contributes to all the work and projects. great lady being raised.
Actually, she is learning what to expect from a quality husband.
Wow! I could taste that roast in my mouth! That looks amazing! Great Job Penelope! You're a pro! 🐖
Y’all are raising a very capable lady. Great job.
Wow! You guys must be super proud of Penelope, the way she butchered that pig, she’s come along way from making mud pies on your last homestead😊
I think that is fantastic that ya'lls teaching your daughter these skills! Knowledge is something powerful! Love ya'lls channel!
Godspeed!
Future homesteader right there!
This is a good pig anatomy lesson for her science.
Well done Penelope.
Great teachers too.
We got kune pigs because we wanted to start with a smaller pig for ease of processing it ourselves. We are also looking forward to the fat. I have memories as a child at my grandma’s table cutting up frozen lard into cubes for her to render it. Now I have grandkids. Thanks for sharing!
Great job young lady
She did a great job. Gosh that looks good. God bless.
I think it is wonderful that you are Teaching your children the Homesteader Way. Skills you are Taught Young and Keep with you for Life. And you Won’t Find that Class in City Schools.
Bravo
Top Notch Skills Family! I love watching this!!! 💚
Love how Penelope just jumps right in and does it. Reminds me of myself and my sibling's boys and girls we learned to do everything on the farm. Lot of skills there I have surely forgotten; wish I still knew them.
Excellent experience for home school project 😊
I Love this, she is such a good student.
Your family is amazing
A VERY good evening Jason, Lorraine, Penelope and all Sow the Land friends. Great job everyone, these are some FAT little pigs !
Jason it was good to see you reflect on the impact on yourself of looking after the Kuni’s for 20 months; from birth to freezer. I imagine it was a little harder to process them than say a chicken, but you did it with respect and then onto your table.
Also hats off to Penelope 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 🐖
I like the way you told your story and show your emotions with you and your family during this pig processing video.
This was kind of like the backstory, more like a rest of the story video.
Reminds me of our home school. My wife taught my children how to butcher deer and chicken and now they even do ducks and sheep.
Did you 2 ever think when you first were married that you would be raising and butchering pigs of your own? ...also teaching your child how to do this?
It's so awesome all that you do!
I like Jason's wacky hair at the end.
Just got thru with supper and this still made me hungry
I just watched the video. You made five years ago with your daughter, making a mud pie. That was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. She sure grown up to be a beautiful young lady.
I love it, you guys! Your daughter is learning lost skills ❤
She did awesome!!

Hey that's a great future project for homesteaders. Teaching lost skills to school children.
Stainless plates!
I like it.
I wish I had that class.
Good way to guarantee your daughter will not be stuck with a dusty do nothing man. They're all going to have to level WAAAY up or ELSE. 😅 I NEED to get my daughter to do more with us as far as homesteading goes.. good job!!!
Enjoy seeing the family work together
Nice job Penelope 👍❤
SOW proud to see the whole family working together ❤❤❤! Miss P you rock 🎉!!!
Fat rendering?!? Does that also include CARNITAS with pico de gallo😋🤩?!?🎉
Homeschool means learning to USE what you are taught... It's a big difference learning real skills.
Great job and especially teaching your daughter.
What an awesome video!!! Sow The Land never disappoints!!! Great family channel.
As kids we would go hunting with Dad and he would walk us through skinning & butchering. I remember doing rabbits, squirrels, deer, pigs, fish and pheasants.
Your hard work definitely paid off and dinner looked yummy 😋
Congratulations! Your Kunni-pig was worth the wait!
Wtg, Penelope! 💕🙏🏻🇨🇦
That center island is wonderful!
It's wonderful to see your family so settled in and getting comfortable and adjusted the property.
I just love watching you with the pigs, whether it’s feeding them or eating them.
😁
Ham Cam!! Ham Cam!! Ham CAM!!
I Remer how exited I was when those were born.
So happy to see such excellent pork in your freezer and on your table. You earned every morsel. God bless you all. Sending hugs from Italy.
I am looking forward to the rendering video❤
I love ALL Sow the Land videos!
Good job, Penelope. You are learning butchering skills from the best. I am very impressed. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Great Job ❤❤
Ms Penelope, You're Amaizing.
You do an awesome job with your animals! What you are feeling is what we call on our farm empty pen syndrome. Excited to get the harvest but miss the interaction.❤
No, didn't learn it in school. Did help the folks on our big kitchen table. We wrapped in freezer paper back in the 50's
Good job guys!
Awesome video. With success and love 🙌🏽
Good video, thanks ❤️😁🌹
Hi, Jason, Lorraine, and Penelope! Great job! You three work together so well. Jason, I am hoping you will do an end of year video. Lorraine, it was great seeing you being able to use your kitchen island.
The Making of a Good Wife.. Lorraine your teaching your daughter the best skills ❤
Or if she doesn’t want to get married she’ll have a lot of self reliant tools to take care of her self
Wife?!?! She's going to run the homestead!!
Wife??!! She's going to run the homestead!
Your little hams are less than a third the size of a durock ham. But then a durock only takes 9 months to raise.
I call them bus tubs too cause I used to work in the restaurant business for almost 20 years. They call them lugs in the butchering business. I didn't know and Farmers usually don't know what a bus tub is. Lol.
That is a tough part of raising the animal. I totally understand - when you had to dispatch the beefy boys I struggled.
Love you guys! Great video.
Awesome job.
Thanks for the visit
I usually pull off the leaf lard before I chill the rest. Never really thought through that but is you are sending it off to be butchered you won’t get it unless you take it off then.
Now I have another reason. That looked rather difficult
Good job Naomi!
Seems like only yesterday that you just moved to the property, you sure have come a long way, I guess that I kinda was home schooled doing this because I worked on a farm butchering cows and pigs at a young age
you may already know but just incase.. its good to grind the fat up before you render it down.. as you can get more released out of it to use.. hope that helps.. well done penelope..much love to you all xx
I felt so sorry for The Fit Farmer losing his meats 😢
Did you caught RFK talking with Joel S. about making it easy for farmers to sell their goods directly to public
I love this! Everytime you do it
Mix those spices then put them on the meat 🙂
And get some thermometers for inside the smoker
Good lesson.
I really enjoy your homestead and your videos. Thank you and keep it going
Nice!! We stayed home from school to make sausage and scrabble and bacon..then packaged and labeled..what does your wife disinfect with?? 😊
Great class, now, what did you the knuckles and ears. I grew with a family of 9, we didn’t waste nothing.
Survival skills!!
Yes, it is hard after caring for them all that time, but to make the investments pay you have to do it for years. Otherwise that is the most expensive meat you will ever eat.

Great video thanks for sharing 😊❤
Thanks for watching!
Well, those pigs have so much personality than the birds!! You do get attached…
At this rate your daughter will be able to teach the butcher class in a few years.
We just got done butchering 7 hair sheep. Each sheep filled a 5 gallon bucket of fat. Yes just fat. Well be rendering fat for a year.😊
Why the black and white portions when showing the hog side?
black and white so you tube dont demoney it lol hugssss
Hi, where do you buy your knifes?
Do you keep the head for making souse?
👍🏻👍🏻
❤
Why black and white?
Apparently, as someone has commented above, it's so they don't get demonitized.
Yum
😊😊
It’s a B2B vrs a b&b.😂
Love what you do, but I'd rather raise regular feeder pigs that give more meat in less time!
Lorraine, do it up fancy. All the time and work to grow the kune pigs respect their lives. Just saying.
Are they mini kune kunes? Just asking because I have 2 and they look alot bigger lol
Yummy pork. Gotta be like a Wagu pork with all that fat content 🤤
Great content as usual, from beginning to end, from technical butchering class to emotional expression at the end. And that juicy morsel that you teased us with.... Shame on you Jason!!!! 😂 just kidding....I could almost taste that melt in your mouth fat... Had to make do with a store bought fatty piece of lamb!!!! Delicious!
