I'm really enjoying the recent videos showing processing
It’s very popular….. too bad TH-cam punishes me for it……. But I’m too stubborn to stop😂😂😂
Super Interesting! We only skinned ours. My Dad said that as kids they would scrape some, but he always hated it. Soooo, he taught us the skinning method. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! Next week I’ll show why the skin is necessary for some applications!
I'm looking forward to seeing you make head cheese. I've never made it either.
Coming soon!
Using Dawn was a great idea.
I used to scrub my hogs with it and then power wash the dawn off.
This is a good video for reference.
Awesome!!!
Reminds me of growing up we did this often!
It’s a good way of life!
Great video. You are a fine butcher, and your boys are great help.
Yes they are! Thanks!
Boiling green pine needles before dipping the hog also helps clean and remove hair so much easier.
That’s what they say!
Micah, Great that the whole family is involved. Eagerly awaiting the headcheese video. I recall as a young lad of 5 or so 'helping' my Sainted Grandmother make headcheese. It is a good day when I can find it at the local butcher. To you and all of yours. Best
It’ll be interesting to see how similar we do it!
Thanks for the video
You’re welcome!
To skunt or not to skunt, squeaky clean is yer answer... 😂
😂😂😂
Head cheese ,yes that’s some good stuff! Great video my friend!!!
So good! I’m looking forward to showing how we did it!!!
Great job mike mcghie ! Keep doing these videos the people need these videos. To start back homesteading real meat😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks! Will do! It’s got to be done!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Mike you and the kids can do a master class on butchering and farming on a live video.
Wow that would be fun!
Your dad taught you well...I taught you the rest 😂
😂😂😂😂 THANKS DAD!😅
Love the joke on the temperature measurements...it's so true in construction. Measure twice cut once.
😂😂😂
As I was making preparations to hit the road this morning, I admit to watching this skinning v scalding operation. Your meat operation continues in full swing this early spring Micah. Was very thoughtful of you to make reasonable accommodation for those who, shall we say, could be vertically challenged? After enjoying the remainder of this video, well it was time to hit the road early on. Just shy of the Badlands north a piece from here, could you imagine what, beside badlands, was first spotted? If you are thinking the Harbingers were guarding the entryway to the Badlands, congratulations, eat some pork! And so now with lightning close at hand, I Hope you also had a Great Day! -Bob...
Wow! Badlands make for a great day!!! Harbingers have no doubt retired to their spring nesting grounds for to propagate their own species!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Species propagation you say? Micah, you have set yourself a high bar to attain as you create your very first annual McGie Homestead Species Propagation Video! Looking forward to a possible Memorial Day release!! lol
I love souse! Not many people eating that these days. Looking forward to that video!
Thanks! It’s really good!
Awesome video. You and Graces Mom are a pair a butchering individuals, y’all have some skills, the fellas did a great job also. We also washed our carcass afterward. Oh man Souse any day, ours here in Cajun Country is a properly a tad bit spicer than what y’all eat but I’ll eat it anywhere. Can’t wait to see your recipe.
You are exactly right and I am really happy with how it turned out!
I tell you what would be a bonus videos if you made some pork cracklins those things are delicious
Yes they are !
Agreed...and season with camp dog
Thanks for the video brother👍
You’re welcome!
Another good educational video. Can't wait to see your version of how you guys make hog head cheese in my neck of the woods I make it every year and yes it's a long process LOL cuz I use the hog's head and the feet and it's so easy to make it just takes a long time to do it.
Coming soon! I’m ticked with it! I eat it everyday now at work!
Another very interesting video Thank you Andy 😊😊😊😊😊
Glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure!
I am glad you gave the reason for scraping because looking at the crazy time difference I thought to myself why scrape?
On the one you scraped can you make pork rinds?
Yes you can.
I think a lot of people would enjoy a Q&A if you haven’t already done one.
Any suggestions?
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice and interesting my father rubbed his pigs but he used rossin to pull the stubborn hairs .
Oh that’s interesting!!
💙Love your video's thanks for sharing👍
You’re welcome!
You’re not crazy for cleaning the skin if you’re going to eat it. In the slaughter houses they use scolding bins to remove hair and debris from the hogs.
Being sanitary is a wise move. Scrub brushes to the skin works well for small operations like yourselves, or scraping the hides after the hair removal.
Most important thing is cleanliness, like you said hogs love mud and you know what’s mixed in with the mud lol.
Don’t worry about what anyone says do what works for you.
Thanks! You’re exactly right! People will literally say anything!😂😂😂
Use the feet and hocks.. it’s so good ..little vinegar pepper salt
Oh yeah!!
The vinegar etc is after it’s hardened up like a meat cake 🤣
You’ll enjoy the video that’s coming in a couple weeks showing how we did this one!
We were crazy also because we used comet
😂😂😂 that’s a great idea!
For a small investment you could buy a couple skinning knives. I recommend Victorianox(sp?) or from a German company Dick.
I’m using the Victorinox 6” boning knife….. I love it!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures they are my favourites.
😊
So that's where the saying comes from pigwig😁
😂😂😂
❤
Great video. I got a off subject question have y’all ever made cheese from your milk
Thanks
Danny Phillips
Yes my wife has!
I really enjoyed the video! At this point you should start a butcher shop since your doing it all the time anyways.TH-cam must have never liked yesterday's comment on the bull video lol. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
TH-cam doesn’t like butchering videos whatsoever…….. and I’m sure it totally bewilders them how that even though they demonetize all of them that I won’t stop, and they are my most popular videos!😂😂😂
health department would make it practically impossible and costly
Hey Micah I know you and the boys do alot of fishing in the spring. Have you ever considered salting your fish in buckets to preserve them?
I’ve salted Shad in buckets to preserve as bait, but not for human consumption. That would be a great option in a survival situation, but fresh is so much better.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Where I live on the Chesapeake bay there still alot of old timers who salt fish to eat all winter long. Head them tail them gut and scale them and pack em in salt in 5 gallon buckets.
I’d be interested to know how they fix them….. soak in water to take the excess salt out and then what?
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Pull out of salt wash down and fry it in a pan , once you rehydrate the fish it's like fresh.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures If you get a minute there's videos about it on youtube.
I could have given you my scrapers…im a skinner fan!
Skinner skinner piggy dinner
I wonder if….after scalding, you throw a pressure washer at it to get the hair off if it world work
Ooo just saw you melted em….better idea!
My neighbors tried pressure washing, and it caused a lot of small blood vessels near the skin to burst. Quite bloody.
Pig pinfeathers, lol.
😂😂😂 yes!!!
I have a question. For those of us without a tractor that process on a table or tarp, do you know of a way to successfully scald? I thought of laying an old towel over it and pouring the water over the towel but I'm not sure that would work. Any ideas or suggestions?
Here’s one way I’ve done it.

@@McGieHomesteadAdventures thank you!
Where do you get your touch?
Touch! I’ve been told that I’m touched in the head 😂😂😂😂😂
