How to Load, Transport and Unload Hogs on a Small Scale

Taking finished hogs to the butcher on a small scale. Loading the hogs, transporting, unloading and ordering cuts from the butcher.

This looked easy a first and then after watching the ordeal to get the hogs out of the cage was a bit rough. Learned from this. The winch is a great idea.

Double line the winch with a snatch block, slower but winch will do ALL the work.

Been there; done that. Bet you'd given a dollar for a sharp stick to use on the last one.

ingenious!!!

[@yiannisdanatzis2889]

Wouldn't it have been easier to move the food? make the pigs follow the food

[@buffalopatriot]

The winch is pretty ingenious. But it's'never easy, is it?

All uncured pork must be frozen for 2 weeks by state law? What a shame, meat is only half as good after being frozen.

I live right out side of Newnan. Can I get contact info on the butcher you used?

[@SixteenChickens]

Susan myer It's Yoder's Butcher Block in Montezuma, Georgia. We've used them for almost 20 years. Mr. Yoder is very easy to deal with. Thanks!
