Hog Butcher Day at The Crouch Ranch, our first American Guinea Hog
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2024
- Here is our first American Guinea Hog, raised and processed at The Crouch Ranch. We have been looking into different breeds of hog and decided to give this one a try. The American Guinea hog tends to run a bit smaller, perhaps 150 lbs as opposed to the 250-300lb processing weigth of the breeds we have been raising. They were once a very popular choice for homesteaders but as the need for cooking lard reduced over the years (these hogs make alot of wonderful lard) The breed was replaced by the faster growing larger market hogs that we see in the grocery stores today. By 1900 it was believed that as few as 100 of these hogs remained in the United States and they are considered one of the rarest Heritage breeds today.

The Lady of the ranch easily beats the hog for looks. Yall did kill the hog but it was not abused, you helped it complete its destiny in becoming food on the dinner table.
It's Sad that a lot of people don't even know were there food come from love ur video.Carnitas The best
Thank you 😊 and yes I agree ! We have lost touch with our food and it’s causing a big problem in our society.
Thanks for the video. We did 4 hogs a few weeks ago. We let ours hang for atleast 24 hours, before cutting up, usually longer. So, we usually only butcher in the spring and fall. I bet where you live not cold enough to let hang and have to process right away. Good to have these videos for people to see.
Hogs you don’t really need to hang so we break down into primal and cool down to butcher the next day 😉
It’s always interesting to see farm animals processed. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thank you 😊
Great idea to use a pressure washer! We plan to do our 1st American guinea hog this fall. We took the last one to the butcher, but i think we can do this!
@@MarfaPavlovna you 💯 can do it !
I commend Mike he doesn’t seem like an A-hole, like a lot men are. He respects his wife. This is coming from a husband which is NOT an A-whole to his wife. Hats off to you Mike!
Ha ha thanks 😊
I'll bet that's a tasty little fella. Hope you guys are doing well, take care.
Mmmm what a nice rump roast lol:)
Very clean, professional and tactful job. Thanks for sharing...(I know the hard part is Syd's, fending off the haters)...Peace
Thank you
Porkchops & Beer for breakfast what every growing boy needs !
🤣🤣
love the respect for the animals and the efficiency of the harvest
Thank you so much . It’s very important to us.
God bless America
He looks a lot smaller than the guineas we used to raise. The ones we had we're about the same size as a Hampshire. Both had some good lard on them and some good thick fatback!
This was a female and it could depend on the diet too . We don’t feed corn or soy .
Bone-in ham is the way to go. It is a small critter. I like the breakfast that little gal served up.
it's been awhile, love your videos, I bet that's going to be some real tender pork,nothing is better than farm raised an home grown meals👍
So far it’s been wonderful ! Having some of the ribs tonight 😉
TheCrouchRanch they should be mighty tender ,how y'all plan to have them, with your special marinade on the grill
Different cuts , different ways . We did a Wellington , making ribs tonight, and pork chops of course . And bacon 😉👍🏻
TheCrouchRanch sounds good enjoy 👍
One of your best videos😎thanks for sharing 😎
Thank you
I don't know what you do with the Pork Butts ....however.....we make about 400 lbs of home made dried sausage every year. We bone out the pork butts and the deer meat to get it ready for the grinder. We take the bones from the pork butts and salt and pepper them with coriander sprinkled on generously. Roast them on the pit and try to eat just one.
Pork butts are what you use for pulled or shredded pork like in tacos or sandwiches 🥪
@@3MISSISSIPPI it's AFTER you get most of the meat off of them. there is still a little bit left. salt / pepper/ coriander .... you will probably write me back and thank me. I was dating this girl and she was very "CITY"
she turned her nose up at the bones, but I finally convinced her to just try a bite. After that she went through about 8 of 'em.
Nice vid syd and mike !!!! 🍷🍷
Need a whole video. Not skipping parts..
TH-cam has rules we have to follow ...
No disrespect....I'm a butcher in montana....was in Texas for hog hunt and butcher.....and breakfast beers of course....wish I had a crew of triplets that looked like the little miss...very classy
😝 thank you
Great vid Syd! 👍🇨🇦
Thank you 😊
Makes good lard
You did a beautiful job skinning her. Lots of lovely fat and lard there. I thought about using a SawzAll for splitting my hogs but didn't pull the trigger. I will now. I also never though of using the Power Washer... I always use the garden hose for bathing them down. Boy, am I glad I found this video. Thanks gents and lady.
Hey great ! Thank you 😊
One good looking farm girl. These are few and far. If you ever find one marry her quick! Great wives!
Looking good girl as always lol
Thanks
@@3MISSISSIPPI ☺😉
Great "how too" demonstration Mike. Syd call C.A.L FIRE cause you is smokin as always!
Cheers guys
Lol thanks
Não pare de postar videos ❤
Ngl i found it funny how you put a power washer on the dude, great process nonetheless though
It works though 😝
Can you do a video of the hanger unit for hanging animals
I believe there is a really old video from like 2 years ago that talks about it
Who's that gorgeous passing blonde hair..??? Love you...!!! From PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 🇵🇭 🇵🇭
Crazy how something that is so alive, that has so much personality can be turned into a material product so quickly and easily. Still, this is probably one of the most humane ways you can go if you want pig meat...!
Yes it is ... and thank you for recognizing that 😀
Nice video 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 saludos desde México 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
She can wash hog ANYTIME
🤦🏼♀️🤣
Your a beauty....Nothing else to say.
Something else guys I know you didn't want to shoot the hog in front of the camera or watch the actual sticking, but I didn't see any blood there, so did you actually Stick it to let the blood out?
Oh yes ... shot then immediately sliced the throat he just didn’t shoe the blood from that .
Not one person is watching this thinking about that hog. NOT ONE.
Lol not true 🤣🤣🤣
Good job guys....some one going to eat some good pork soon👍👍
Yeppers
Hot water or blow torch? should have used both methods, as skin on helps with flavor..and gives great crackling
We don’t like to cook the skin when we are butchering . We are pressure washing just to clean hide before breaking down primals.
@@3MISSISSIPPI The skin when roasting is the best part... keeps the pork moist when doing long slow roasts...even hams have to have skin on when making... roast pork is not the same with out skin on :)
We don’t care for 😉 so we skin . We have never had a problem with any of our pork being dry either .
@@3MISSISSIPPI ya missing out :) happy holidays
Cool video
Thank you 😊
We do Berkshire hogs
We have done those too
What makes her think they wouldn't start in carving her up after they had those beers and maybe think about how much trouble he's she's caused him over the years a little extra hand slicing
That got dark ... 👻
Nice videos ,what you guys do is a dream of mine have a ranch where I can grow and raise all my food,you guys live in paradise, I subscribe yesterday, thanks for the videos,what state are you guys at, it looks real nice,keep up the good videos God almighty bless you guys.
Thanks so much and yes it’s a great way to live ! We are in California. Good luck on your ranch dreams !
Syd, I think if you sat in a chair and just sat there we'd all still tune in. Lol fyi, great take on the hog. Gonna do my 1st whole hog this year myself. Wish me luck.
Lol thank you ! And 🍀 😉
good tast
mike, do you ever scald the hogs?
We did it once but we don’t like cracklings so we find it easier to skin it
You did a great job in the slaughtering process everything was clean and on point. I wouldn’t mind coming to your ranch working for you! Great job!😊
Thanks so much 😀
Wait, we didn’t get any information on the final product. How much meat did it produce?
AGH are smaller and have a great fat layer for lard rendering so we got about 100lbs off that little one .
Great job processing the little porker !! Will you guys be smoking it soon ? Quite the set up to processing your animals !!
Thanks . We process it into retail cuts so we just smoked the hocks and belly before packaging.
"What cha doin' Tony?"....>>Im fittin' to kill dis here fkker Bob!
Hi friends good job, blessins
Thank you 😊
IT'S OBVIOUS THESE GUY'S ARE ARMATURES AT DRESSING HOG!!!!!!!!!
Well they definitely are not armatures ... both very seasoned hunters and have dressed hundreds of animals between the two of them . There is more than one way to skin a cat ... it’s a saying for a reason 😉
"Very impressive" You guys did a fine job. I thought everything looked perfect.
Thank you so much 😊
Great video! It's been forty five years since I helped butcher a hog. Boy, do I miss that homegrown meat flavor.
Thanks ! Yes it’s the best
I'm a full-time PETA supporter.
I'm absolutely shocked and offended. 😡 How dare you....
...eat that delicious Pork without me. I would've loved to have dinner with you guys. Nothing hotter than a beautiful woman who loves eating meat 😉.
Oh & PETA = *People Eating Tasty Animals* Support from Australia 🇦🇺🇺🇸
😝 next time ... 👍🏻
@@3MISSISSIPPI LoL. The flight would cost me around roughly $1400 AU dollars "if you're in Texas lol". For you I'll try it. (Try to hear me in Steve Irwins voice).
CRIKEY! That pig, lived a short, but PEACEFUL life with NO TORTURE! Unfortunately,... vegans/vegetarians, he's about to be slaughtered!!! Humans are Omnivores! Sorry, That's it Mate for the pigs. But hey EVERYONE watch next week's episode of how how a proud Aussie MAN, rescues a turtle. 😉
@@3MISSISSIPPI Long ass reply lol, I hope you liked it.
🤣
Oh hopefully it doesn’t go to waste.
Great job harvesting the animal! Everything was clean, profession, and well done as a team!
Thank you
this video motivates me to become a pair of yoga pants!!!!
🤣🤣🤣 in your next life 🤣
Thanks for your beautiful video
I like it very much
Have beautiful year !!!!
That was pretty quick work of that Guinea Hog, looking good Syd, I see the pool has water again, chop! chop!
Thanks
Hottest butcher on the tube
Ha ha thanks 😊 Mike is pretty hot 😂
Good job , get a bone saw it will make the job easier
We have one but the prefer the saws all .
They look pretty beat up from the skinning. Scalding them and scraping the hair off is better I think.
It’s a lot of effort if you don’t like the skin ... much faster to skin
@@3MISSISSIPPI oh yeah makes sense. Your method is really efficient. I just hear of people roasting a part with the skin on and using the skin as crackling
What happened to the gutting process?
Been awhile since I watched this one ... thought that was in here 🤔
I want to start raining my own meat this year I'm planning on buying two pigs one for my family and one to sell. Then maybe a beef for my family also no chicken I hate eating chicken but I'll eat eggs . And are the best look lady I've ever laid eyes on
Thank you and happy farming .... your own fresh chicken won’t taste like anything you’ve ever had before ... same with the eggs !
I raise my own eggs I was raised on a farm we had dairy farm for many years five years ago I move to the mountains and I'm starting over as far as eating chicken they are just a nasty animal they stink and will eat anything on this planet they come across that's why I won't eat chicken
🤣 I get it
Nice video Syd & Mike. Hadn't seen one of the smaller American Guineas before. Seems like it was WAAAY less work, of course. It will be interesting to hear some taste comparisons between the breeds once you have had a chance. Keep it up! I agree with #joshonyx101 that if more people killed their own food there would be less waste and far more perspective and respect for the animals that feed many of us....
Thanks Bakerman 😝 we had the ribs last night and they were great ! We really like the flavor .
Ain’t telling you how to do your thing, but there looked like the makings of some fine pork cracklings if you had just shaved the pig and cut some up to fry.
We don’t like cracklings and it’s so much easier to skin especially on the larger hogs .
😳blasphemy!!
Why did you take the skin off? Pour boiling water over the skin and you can scrape the hair off with ease.
We have done scalding and scraping but we really prefer skinning as we don’t like the skin
Say it all the time if more people had to kill for their food. Be alot less waste in this world.
Agreed !
More appreciation and less ill informed opinions as well.
Many people just truly don’t understand where their food comes from and that disconnect is harmful.
@@3MISSISSIPPI I'm happy your video is still up and fyi been wearing my American made American shirt 😁
Sweet 😎
When I was a kid my first job was mucking pig stalls... The boss always hung a hog from the tractor bucket by his back legs and slit his throat so his heart would pump out the blood. wasn't that better than shooting ???
Shooting first it’s lights out ... they are no longer aware . The heart continues to pump which is why we immediately slit the throat to pump out the blood .
Yoshi Meyer
No. Because the pig is suffering and in distress.
Not only is it wrong...but ruins the meat.
I killed my first pig alone and used a 22 long rifle.
One bullet, instant kill......delicious meat!
I don't know what those guys are doing but Sydney has her leggings on and that's all that matters! Lmao!
😝
yes that's why I came hot legs pretty smile
What guys? lol
Si je peux poser une question; how much did the pig weigh before processing and how much meat was there after processing? BTW Bonne année.
This pig breed is much smaller so was 125 about and prob about 80-90 lbs of meat I’d guess .
We as a big Hispanic family butcher a hog every year to make tamales. I'm sure PETA hates us lol
🤣🤣👍🏻
hot dam she's smoking. nice hog also.
At least she didn't suffer
A quick end is always the goal
Clean em up, from the rooter to the tooter...
Hola hermosa mujer..saludos 😘💜🧡
You should have soaked it in boiling water for five to six minutes then use the power washer to remove all the hair. That pig would be cleaned in no time and you get to keep one of the best parts of pork and that is the skin.
We don’t like the skin and have tried both techniques and prefer this way 👍🏻
I wouldn't go that far. Billions of Asians eats pork skin and yet they are skinnier than Americans and healthier to boot. The skin and fat are prized in Asia and Eastern Europe.
A lot of Americans eat way too much processed foods as well as just too much of everything. Things that maybe around the best for us need to be consumed in small quantities infrequently . Other cultures seem to understand this better than most Americans.
Love Bacon Cheese Burgers And Honey Smoked Ham😃👍👌...Great vid👍
Rule number one you never have alcohol when there's a gun present under any circumstances for any reason
They only have like two beers all day and it’s after the shot .... so settle down prohibition sally 😉 safety first
TheCrouchRanch
I usually agree with John Warren....but 2 beers max AFTER the pig is dead sound ok.
But I agree that alcohol and guns don’t mix.
As a proud gun owner, I support the 2nd amendment 100%.
But alcohol and guns don’t mix. Beer loosens people up........in the wrong ways sometimes.
Excellent butchering video. Great job guys ✌😎🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷
Thank you 😊
In my world pigs are not skinned, they are shaved.
How old was the hog? We just got a breeding pair and they're about twice that size but a couple years old. I don't want to wait that long to butcher lol.
We don’t breed ours so typically we butcher between 5-8 months depending on breed . Somewhere between 175-225 weight . A boar that’s a few years old and was bred is likely to be a bit gamey so just keep that in mind .
@@3MISSISSIPPI Let me clarify-- we got a couple of their piglets as well. We're butchering those but keeping the breeding pair. I don't want to wait years to butcher the two piglets lol. We'll probably aim for around 8 months then; thanks for the info and the video.
Awe I see ... depending on breed, sex, and if you’re doing it all yourself you could probably do six months ( often males we do at 6 and females at 8 )
@@3MISSISSIPPI they're American Guinea Hogs. I figured they'd be much easier to process at home than a giant meat hog no matter what the age.
Enjoy your Ham.. :)
The lady is better to look at then the hog 😆.
🤣
Skinning is so much easier !
We always shaved them cause that’s how my dad did it in my grandfathers slaughter house growing up . couple years ago my dad couple of his buddy’s and me raised & killed 14 pigs between us shaved them all 🤬🤬 now we skin lol
Yes ! Unless you’re doing a whole hog roast ... no real point 😉
TheCrouchRanch Exactly
scald them and the hair comes of easy by scraping the hide. You will not ever have crackling corn bread if you skin em . The way we do it down south GA
I get it if you’re a fan of cracklings but we aren’t 😉
What y'all do with the guts?
The organs we keep but the guts ( bladder , bowels , etc) get scraped
my Berkshire pig's will turn a vegan in to a believer! !!
Truth 🤣
Syd,
What do you think the weight was?
About how long did it take you guys?
Did you sugar salt cure any?
Did you vacuum seal or paper wrap?
She was probably about 150ish . She was close to 8 months . We butcher wrap most cuts to freeze but some things like bacon get vacuumed. Bacon , hocks , ham and the Canadian bacon all get cured. 👍🏻
Wow!she is beautiful!
Thank you
Also how big do they get
Not as big as other breeds ... most top out at 150 lbs at breeding age
So, how was it?
Fabulous as always
Interesting!
Syd..., I heard him say to “let go” too .. lol good vid !!
Glad I’m not alone lol thanks
good to see you Syd
happy new year
Thank you 😊
So they show the hog getting all chopped up but don't show the actual kill shot?
TH-cam has rules ... we can’t show that ... we got in trouble once already so those kinds of videos are on patreon.
Got it. Thanks for the quick reply. Not so sure of who makes the YT rules. There are many videos of feral hogs being culled at night, and from helicopters. There are many hunting videos showing very distinct hits on the animals. I don't expect you guys to answer this unless you know some secrets about this. Again, thanks.
It has to do with what they will monetize . YT is owned by google who is very .... Liberal . You can show it but they will limit your channel in many other ways like doing live shows etc .
Great to see you again, looked like it dressed out fairly easy, or was that editing for the tight asses at youprudes?, Are you smoking/ during everything?, When do you expect to enjoy it?, Can't wait to hear all about it, thanks
Curing everything
We cutes the bacon and of course have been enjoying different cuts different ways . Tonight was ribs .
Both seem freshman level
Both are experienced hunters and butchers ... everyone is a critic 🤷🏼♀️😝
Came for the kill shot disappointment
TH-cam has strict rules about that and we got in trouble before . They can shut down your channel so we can’t risk it 😉
Geez WHEN that wall goes up ull never get ur pool dun bahahahaha
Well the pool is done and everyone was legal lol
@@3MISSISSIPPI God Bless Uns 😊
man that hog meat looks so good mmmmm
It’s been delicious!
Out of curiosity what do you do with a pig head. I seen it sold in meat markets but dunno what they would cook with it.
Well different things you can do with it ... we don’t care for it aside from the cheeks so we give it to a friend who likes it .
@@3MISSISSIPPI ok ty for the info
