From Just a Few Acres Farm. YouTube's rules made them cut out the most graphic parts (killing and bleeding the hog and removing the entrails/internal organs), but it's not for the squeamish (or vegans).
I'd never seen a hog butchered before, so I found it interesting, and I thought some of y'all might, too. It's also a pretty good reminder that heat doesn't just come from the furnace and food doesn't come from the grocery store.
Part 1: It starts with them taking pigs to the butcher. He doesn't explicitly say it, but I'm pretty sure those are the pigs that will be processed for sale (he touches on the subject near the end of this video). Then he goes through the process of slaughtering the hog and cleaning the carcass, ending with hanging it in preparation for processing the meat.
