    My granddaughters raise pigs for 4H and the sale day is sure to bring tears to their eyes. One girl swore off raising pigs and switched to horticulture.

    If more people understood about where their food, at the market actually came from, they might be a little more appreciative of the Farmer's and Rancher's that feed them daily.
    Thank you for sharing your life on the farm, good and bad
    Much Love to you and your family ❤

      I have Lupus, which processed foods make it much worse. Especially the body pain. We cut out sugars and processed foods, and raise our own meat and eggs. I can really tell a big difference since we changed our diets.

    My Grandma told me never name your food. I got close to a calf and I named her Patches. It broke my heart when we butchered her. I gave her lots of Love. I do understand all about farming. I grew up on a 100 acre farm.

    I've never been on a farm so I know I couldn't do it but my Dad was raised on a ranch that my Grandpa owned so he helped my Grandpa with the animals and helped my Grandpa in the butchering as well. My Dad's side comes from a long line of farmers in the U.S. and Ireland. My Mom's relatives were farmers as well but in Mexico and also on Apache reservations. I think by showing this in your videos, you're showing how well you treat the animals you care for. Even if they are going to be used for meat. She was a good girl and we'll miss seeing her. I'm sure she appreciated all your love and care. RIP Ms. Chungus. 🙏🏻💖

    I know you have to do that to eat but I personally I can't eat meat due to allergies. Aww bless her the way she looked at you, it's Iike she knew. I was bought up at the side of a farm and a lot of Sundays we would hear the pigs squealing, my parents used to say it's like they knew it was slaughter day. Xx

    She is a beautiful show pig. Some 4-H kid probably raised her up and won a prize with her at the fair. It was special to share some time with her before her demize. She's a sweetheart, so gentle and friendly. Goodbye my lovely girl! And Betty's grandchicks...let's count them and watch for their numbers to decline, what with all the coyotes around every night! Won't it be sad? Chungus was used to going to shows and loaded right up, an experienced traveler, sweet dreams baby girl!

    We feed ours pigs in the trailer the last two days, so they load themselves up. They even sleep there at night. We raise 4 at a time from 30 lbs to 350 lbs, May through November. Nothing is better than home ground sausage, just don’t season it until you thaw and cook it. The last 6 weeks we feed a finishing ration. The 4 of them eat 50 lb bag every 4-5 days!

    Hello Kevin and Rachel
    I know it’s hard. At the same time, Chungus has had kindness and love. She was stuck in some tiny breeder pen, or the smallest possible pen to simply feed her until she was fat. She’s been playing in her own field. With nice neighbors, sunshine, a warm place to sleep, kind words and touch.
    She will nourish your whole family, help the kids to grow strong, and everyone to be healthy.
    You will honor her and the gift of her.
    Blessings ❤

    I’ve led a “farming life “ my entire lifetime. When it comes to “freezer camp” it’s never easy, but it’s a natural part of life. If you didn’t have feelings about this, there would be something very wrong you. We/I have always done our own processing, from raising the animal to putting the meat in the freezer (and everything in between). Some animals affect you more than others. I think that it’s very healthy to understand where your food comes from; regardless of how you get it (the store or your pasture). Have a blessed day!

    Ms. Chungus had a wonderful life. Y'all raised her to feed your family, and your family knows that. If people don't understand that and want to say something mean or whatever, they can move on. Y'all never hid the fact that she is being raised to be put in the freezer. I live in an apartment and have never had farm raise meat. So I never know what's going on with it. I actually have never even eaten farm raised anything. My sister-in-law says she doesn't like farm raised meat or even farm fresh eggs. She says they taste differently. I would only assume they would taste better but I don't know. 🤷🏻‍♀️
    Y'all done good by Ms. Chungus and she will feed your family well. God bless.❤

    I never thought pigs could be so sweet. We had pigs but my Mom would not let us visit them. You're right about knowing where your food comes from. In stores especially the big name food shopping stores like Wal.... the meat can be very undesirable looking and in package. Fresh chickens cut up in a bag can be butchered in nasty ways. Vegetables are another matter. They turn in your fridge before you get to use them. Our area in Pa. the food is of low quality. We are getting our meat in a better store now. ❤❤❤

    What a great video! What a tough subject to approach and share! The Littles had mixed feelings, but I think that the thought of BACON… ruled!😋. They all agreed that prayers of gratitude were necessary to thank Chungas for her life sustaining sacrifice 🥰. She fulfilled her purpose, and was lovingly nurtured🥰. This process brings a whole new appreciation for the food we are blessed with, especially home grown! The Native Americans had it right in giving thanks for the life that was sacrificed for human consumption! We also discussed how the Littles felt about waste. They were less likely to waste a home grown source, that they personally contributed to its well being! They did make the connection that all living food sources make that sacrifice. A new appreciation for food and where it comes from was instilled in a new generation today!😍. Thank you for always sharing and keeping it real! Loves and prayers to ya’ll as always!🥰

    Those big bale holders are great for all that and keeping air circulation so it doesn't mold because mold can make them very sick and kill them. You can get an old truck or tractor tire to put dirt, sand and Ashe in for the chic's dust bath, or they can start doing a dust bath by the edge of the fence and eventually dig out. You're not going to put the lil chickens in the pen, I would or they will more than like get got if momma takes them outside the field especially now that it's getting cold and little less food source for the owls, hawks, eagles and such. Its always heart tugging but you know it is feeding your family for the year with very good meat.

    Too bad you can't keep her for breeding stock, but I understand her purchase. She's had a good life with you at least.

    It is kinda sad, for me personally I don't eat pork but I was raised on a farm where we butchered what we ate. I don't fault your choices and hope she feeds your Family well. I'm very thankful for how well you treat all your Animals, she had a very good life while she was on your Family's Farm.🙏❤🙏

    I went with my Grandpa Bates one time to drop his hog off at the butcher. I think that hog knew where she was when we pulled up becsuse she started running around in the trailer a hittin the sides. Grandpa ran back to the trailer and started calling her name, Mags, Mags. He had named her Maggy the Piggy LOL anyway she calmed down and walked out of the trailer. My Grandpa thanked her for the blessing she was going to be giving the families of her body. He prayed and they shot her in the head then they fixed the body to a crane and pulled it up feet first and took it in the processors. My Grandpa did have a few tears on the way home. I didn't say anything. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. God bless you.

    Poor Chungus, I understand the reason you got her for, but she is a sweet animal, I try not to think about where she goes. I wish she could have stayed with you on the farm longer, another few months or so. We'll miss her.

    The hardest part of raising for your freezer. We raise bottle baby steers. After a year and half of giving them the best care and life it hurts to say goodbye.

    I lay a pallet down with plywood over it for pigs as a extra step for them to get in the trailers. Seems to help

    We save our ashes in a coal bucket and a stainless trash can. We then put it in dust bath holes inside of our chicken static pen. It kills off lice and mites which get worse in the fall, just like fleas trying to get indoors for the winter.

    Wish I could raise a pig for meat. Would be tough no doubt when harvest time but the meat would be so good!

    I wish I could, for Christmas my daughter is getting me some venison, has given me beef they baught in bulk from a farm, it seems all of a sudden there is so much food recalls it scary, I try to buy organic, you have to read to make sure it's GMO free, you are doing such a great job, I guess to some our ancestors were terrible people to, lol, I only buy eggs from a local business, too if you haven't tasted fresh milk out of a cow, oh boy you are missing out, I stick to the local small grocery stores too, hopefully the next year gets better on importing, 👍❤🇺🇸

      I don't know about the taste of fresh milk. When we visited my uncle's dairy farm, the milk always tasted weird. It either tasted like old grass or silage smelled. I was a kid, raised on milk from the grocery store. Now my aunt and uncle are gone. The cows were gone for a long time. The farm is still in the family, I think. They always raised potatoes.
