Yes, Pigaus the Infamous was a Yorkshire, 🐷 which was and still is number one in the pork πŸ₯© industry although that's changing at least on small farms with the growth in popularity of the many heritage pigs that have unique characteristics like the ability to forage for a greater portion of their feed ration 🌾 or produce more lard and better tasting more fatty bacon πŸ₯“.

How To Butcher An Entire Pig (AT HOME!!)

In this video, we show you how we butchered two entire pigs, at home! You don't need any special equipment or tools. Everything we used is easily accessible to most homesteads/farms.

Hogs are really the garbage disposals of the livestock world. We accidentally ran out of their feed (miscalculation on my part, combined with their increasing food needs!) so they are currently filling their bellies with lots of food that would otherwise be composted. Buckets of tomatoes and other produce that couldn’t be sold. Bread from the @auntmilliesbread outlet. Cracked corn and sunflower seeds we had on hand. And hay that the ruminants weren’t big fans of. Later in the day, they’ll get some eggs that the birds broke, more produce, and more bread. They also have their acre of pasture to find yummy snacks in! We feed a species appropriate diet to each of our animals, but sometimes we just miscalculate their needs, and run out. A couple days of this alternate diet won’t harm them in the slightest, and is good enrichment for their brains! Thank you @danarandall69 for supporting us through @patreon and helping to make all this happen! . . . #farmlife #piglife #pasturedpigs #pasturedpork #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarming
