On the first Saturday in February each year, the Old South Farm Museum in Woodland Georgia puts on a live, old fashioned "Hog Killin" and butchering demonstration that also includes classes on curing and smoking meat. www.oldsouthfa... Vendors also cook traditional southern recipes that use pork and pork products, using only wood fires and cast iron cauldrons.
People from all over Georgia and surrounding states come to see this demonstration each year. It's an invaluable source of information that can be used to become more self-sufficient on a small farm or homestead
THIS IS NOT A HOW-TO VIDEO, This is to show the community that comes together each year to learn the old ways of doing things that used to be second nature. Thank You.
It's a beautiful thing when people can get together and just hang out and enjoy each other's company....
Yeah and butcher and slaughter Animals good job.
@@crunchbucket3derham951 What do mean?

This brings back memories indeed from my childhood in the late 70’s and early 80’s
This takes me back 73 years ago as a little boy. Each year my dad and older brothers would slaughter a hog for family consumption. I remember I stayed under the bed upstairs until the processing was over with. But then came the chitterling cleaning time. I can still smell the oder that came from the insides of the chitterling as my sister's toweled to make sure they clean them out as best they could. I call these the good ole days. I miss them.
George Pollard Know when my grandmother would be cooking chitterlings smell like poop bring on the hot sauce 😋😋😋
*odor
Please!!
No media, no politicians, just a community together enjoying each other and the food... don’t believe the hype. Respect is the best way to get along
Funny how that works,ain't it? :-D
The way it should be!
Things aren't always how they seem.

@JoJo GoJo the love of food has no boundries!
But they didn't make it clear if the pig was slaughtered humanely or not. I sure hope it didn't suffer.
These are the people who will survive.
Your right and all these people who don't have a clue about any of these things or where there food comes from are going to be begging us for food and shelter one day. I grew up farming and with cattle and butchering animals we raised and the animals we hunted so I am not going to starve
Really awesome video watching all these people enjoy the company of each other and learning something in years process
Used to go with my dad when i was a kid and butcher animals. My dad wanted us to learn where our food came from and to understand what it takes to get the animal to our table.Definitely learned alot. To bad more of this wasn't going on today. Now it's all safe spaces, and coloring books, and everyone gets a trophy.
We need these kind of classes in schools
Nasty shit !!! Mention them maggots 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree 👍
Amen , brother
You never forget the smell of scalded hog hair while removing it with a bell scraper. Wonderful memories. Wish I could go back in tim
As long as tim will let you in and he doesn't mind
@@zorroonmilkavitch1840 🤣 Tim is on his side. Yes he is.
Wouldn't mind living in a community like that. 👍
Not sure how I got here but it brings back memories. I use to watch my grandfather and uncles prepare a hog just like this before he would gut him, clean and cook him in a pit in the ground. Some of the best pork I ever had. What’s side is after my grandfather passed back in 1987, none of his sons would carry on this tradition.
This is the real America right here. True Pride and Grit in these men, much knowledge. While in some areas you have these purple haired gonzo looking college students who think they know everything.
The people in this video seem like good, intelligent people...so are the purple-haired gonzo from the big city!
You have an odd view of Real America
@@petesmith9472 Where does your food come from Pete? An alternate realty?
I saw my first hawg killin' at ten years old and was completely fascinated by the process. The hog was shot between the eyes with the 22 rifle that was always next to the kitchen door in case it was needed to protect the chickens or other farm critters. After butchering, the meat was salted and hung in the smoke house to be smoked and cure. Everything we ate came from livestock, foul, garden and river and was always delicious.
And it didn't kill anyone.Today they are paying a fortune for 'organic' lol that's what we were brought up on.
Wow, that Man Really knows his stuff, a real treasure to The World and His knowledge needs to be passed on to the next generation
I grew up helping my grandpa, daddy,uncles and others "killin hogs". Been nearly sixty years and I have taught my kids, friends and lots of others family members how to. I love it and miss my grandparents and daddy being there but can always feel their presence. We must preserve the old ways. We may have to go back. We enjoy being self reliant. Helping each other and being family, even if we're not blood kin. We are a village in South Carolina. No race, just friends and family. People that truly care about each other. God bless you all.
Do you go to the Chittlin Strut in Sally? I lived many years in New Ellenton on the Georgia side. I reckon the hate goes on somewhere but I've never seen it.
Bubba Ramsey same here, If we were hit today with crippling devastation most people who would survive wouldn’t know the first thing about survival. Our society today has lost these skills. 😢
@@pennyfinan5090 hola mujer hermosa sabes matar cerdos??
I was 5 yrs old the first time I saw our family butcher a hog. It was the entire family It was in Nov. I am now 75 and I can still remember exactly how to do it. At the old farm house there were two huge trees where they had a cut timber in between. It was used for hog killing and during the summer the same trees were used to work on the truck, wagons and tractors...the backyard mechanic. The four iron wash pot were washed and had the open fires going strong to keep plenty of boiling water. I was 5, but I was kept busy keeping mommy's fire wood stack close to her was pot.
I love this. This is culture and heritage coming together in one event. Not some social experiment going on here. Just love and knowledge for everyone. These are the real winners in our world. So uplifting to watch.
I’m out here in Los Angeles completely jealous of all the wisdom and community shared in this video. I wish we had a day like that here.
I miss the old timer's and the best of all the storytelling and learning I came up to be a real good young man who knew the value of life and what it took for a family to come together. You dont see that anymore, my grandfather and grandmother knew that they had to do things like this to live and survive. I miss em all
This is how I grew up in Jupiter Florida. My dad side of the Family did this for FAMILY Reunions and Holidays we kids Loved it. This bring back Sweet Memories, Thanks For Sharing.
I am 46 years old and I remember weekend hog killing... Lard boiled down and put in Charles chips buckets , pork skins and cracklings in a big black iron washpot. They would have tosacks full of salt and roll big slabs of bellymeat and hams in it and went into the smokehouse. We would go to the corncrib where they had the dried corn and wash off the ears and throw them in the washpot after the lard was poured off and that little bit of grease left would pop the corn while the pot was still hot..get some salt and sprinkle on it while you stirred it...oh man that was the life
Good to see Americans all together enjoying this festival... AMERICA is and will remain a Multi cultural nation..
AMEN
man it's good to see anybody getting along these days , for some reason some of us just can't be nice 👺disrespect, intolerance, and hate is not healthy for man kind when will we ever learn
Multi racial and multi cultural are two different things you seem to be confusing. Multicultural is ideological. Multiracial is biological.
They could definitely benefit from a scalding trough and some tripods....interesting to see how people from other areas do it though. We still do a family hog butchering each November here in southcentral PA. Thanks for sharing the video!
One of the greatest videos on CZcams! One race...one love! ☮️
nice I was looking at the crowd and thinking the same thing.
@@victorlandonsr.8321 It's nature. Things eat other things :) We're just nice enough to kill the animal before we eat it.
It’s wonderful to see all the people together god bless
Marcellus Francis but it’s yummy too...mmmmmmmm delicious!
They will eat anything,. Them are some grossed out sick people
I attended the first and many others there for years. Have since moved away but that was one of the best demonstrations of the "old way" and for diy-ers, it doesn't get any better than those guys. It was just plain fun and the educational end was off the chain. From squeal to the table and all points in between.
Great showing
Nothing like an old fashioned hog butchering to bring mostly farm and rural folks together regardless of race. This is more what our country needs. Grass roots interests. I have been to few of the old type events growing up in a farming area. It was the same, just as not as many people. One thing I will always remember is an old black gentleman who was helping to butcher the hog, drink warm blood in his cupped hands when the animal was being bled. There would always be coffee and baked goods for the help and visitors if you didn't want to partake in the red stuff.. My grandfather was instrumental in providing Ralph and Paul Adams, Bridgeville, DE, their recipe for RAPA Brand scrapple....so the farming roots go back aways.
I'll be doing this late this fall then in January I hope to butcher 10 hogs each time this man does a great job
Thanks. Very informative.
I was their a few years ago and I meet Daniel. Daniel was one of the helpers. I might go this year. It's such a hardworking but pleasant experience meeting new people.
Now, these are real MEN & WOMEN. Much respect!!!
a diverse crowd of folks enjoying each other
Nice to see people having fun together and learning about how to process a hog interesting video !!😋👍🐷🐖🍴🍺🍺Cheers from Tasmania Australia !! 👍😋😊
Torturing a living animal is fun? Sad
Outstanding demonstration and community effort!!!!
I well remember hog killin's as a child. Several men folk of the family would gather on a frosty morning at whoever's farm was doing the killing that day to help. After scalding the hog the kids' job was to scrape the hair off as the grown men did the heavy lifting and cutting. Afterwards some of the meat would be given to each of the helping families as thanks for the help. Usually we'd all have lunch together afterwards with pieces of the freshly butchered animal cooked. There's nothing better than some fried spare ribs from a hog killed that day. A little tough maybe but that crispy crackling fat was delicious after a hard morning's work.
Love hearing stories like this! Thank you.
Nice Cozzie, thanks for the memory. Peace
Some of the best memories of my life are in this video no strife whatsoever was at any hogkilling
It was a social event.
exactly as I remember it. Us kids did all the scraping. Men did the moving and butchering and the ladies fed us at the end.
That skill is amazing and is central to survival. We have released the young from learning about this and it should be re-incorporated in their general lessons which would teach the appreciation of what goes into preparing the hog for your consumption. I consider it to be mandatory for life lesson skills for boys and girls.
This is great education
When I was a boy in the 50s and 60s I remember doing this down in Louisiana. We didn't put the pig in a barrel. We never laid the pig on the ground but on a piece of plastic. We had a big black pot with boiling water and we poured the water on the pig. We used large butcher knives and scraped the hair off the pig.
Thanks. Hopefully the tradition keeps going on. Some of us in California appreciate it.
Thank you to whoever posted this! It makes me feel so good to see folks from different nationalities all getting together for the sake of learning and helping each other! That is the American way!:-)
Thank you for sharing this video.
Education and Information battles ignorance...
Loved seeing all those men, women, kids from different backgrounds learning and enjoying the day as Nature's brothers and sisters.
GOD Bless
Peace
I'm from the far north of Minnesota I would love to come down south and learn that. I've been all over the south in my semi but never was able to visit with the people there the folks I did get to talk to was so friendly and nice they always made me feel welcomed even when they learned I was from the northern part of the country.
Never used turpentine or pine needle. We just added a little of the pot ash from the fire to the boiling water. But hey im always willing to learn another way thanks
Good memories of when I was young. We used to butcher a hog every winter. And we would make a bunch of fresh craklins.. Nothing better than fresh pork fried in fresh lard on a cold day..
Some of the best memories of my life are in this video no strife whatsoever it was always like a social event.
Young generation should be trained perfactly with olden time methods
So cool to let people know about this awesome
Enjoyed your story sir on hog butchering and cutting. Thanks for sharing.
Good video
I had the pleasure to work as a Field Slaughter man. I worked for a butcher up near Sequim Wa back in the 80's. I was sent to various farmers, to cull a cow out of a herd. Dispatch it, skin and quarter it. Hang the carcass in the truck. From the time I shot it to the time I closed the doors to the truck was about 60 minutes. (I was very fast)!!!
Then pick up the guts and put them in a 50 gallon drum, then fold the hide and place it on top of the drum. Then with the truck wrench, put the drum in the truck. Used to do three a day. I also butchered pigs, goats, sheep. chickens and rabbits. And also worked in a fish processing plant in Port Angeles WA. Ahh those were the days. I got to keep different parts that the farmer didn't want like Tongue, tripe, hanging tenderloin, ox tail and sometimes I got the liver and heart.
Now I'm 65 yrs old, would love it if I could do that again.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks, for sharing. Thumbs up.
Everyone, especially kids should take this class
Great job!!!!!!my family did this in Mississippi many of times...🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🎈🎈🎈😎😎😎😎
Before I came to this country at the age of 5 in 1950 we lived next to a pig slaughter house the sound scared me to almost death ! Still remember it to this day !
You can tell the speaker has done this for more than just a year or two. Guy knows what he's doing
Wonderful learning video! Thank you very much! 💋
We used to put the jib on the tractor and just lift em over the 44 gallon drum over the fire with hot water in.Then whip em out an start scraping the hair.It made it easier.
This brings back a lot of childhood memories but my dad had such and advanced system for the process. No laying on the ground or a barrel,
I grew up doing all of this.
Notice how attentive many people were watching - that's cool!!
I’d love to see this in person. I’m from Chicago Illinois and I’d definitely travel to Georgia to see this with my family.
Next one is taking place on February 1st.
I like how everyone gets along so damn good....
This is brilliant. Thank you for uploading.
In Smithville, Ga my husband family has property that was passed down to them & every year they have a Wild Fest there in November. Where they gather Wild GAME to cook in diff. ways and they allow you to come and taste & eat. Im talking bear, snake, wild boar they only thing I would eat was the Nacho sauce made with deer meat and the Stew duck. But I had an Excellent time seeing the process and talking with diff. ppl. Im from Miami so I was in shock at 1st seeing bear hair on the ground. But once you get a few drinks and eat some pork skins you forget ALL ABOUT IT😂.
Beautiful memories of extended family and friends working together on cold winter mornings especially if we were salt curing the meat. If you are refrigerating or using the meat quickly you kill hogs year round. Fond memories of a great Georgia childhood.
We killed 3 each winter for years. Sure was nice eating fresh Tenderloin and Biscuts 30 minutes after it was cut out.Sure sad so many are running there mouths. But happens all the time. There to learn, but can't shut up long enough to learn.
Pete k when I was younger we did the same . We had cattle , pigs and chickens . As a teen we would catch fish , crabs and shrimp and you are soooo correct . It gives a whole new meaning to fresh . We could trawl for shrimp and cook them on the boat . Now that is fresh Godspeed to you my friend
Oh and I forgot I worked for a man that said when he grew up they used everything from the hog except the squeal and then Pink Floyd figured out how to use that 🤣
Pete k my dad didn’t let the kids have any of the tenderloin lol
I remember the squeal, the hard work, the camaraderie of a hog kill. That was 50 years ago. Grampa would host, so we kept the blood and gramma would turn it into sausage. Everybody was welcome and everybody helped and nobody went home with an empty hand or on an empty stomach.
Times have changed! I’m glad others still enjoy.
Thanks for posting.
Good times, good people, good food.
I like the butcher. He explained everything very clearly. He was very informative. However, the camera needed to have better views due to the heads of many viewers blocking the scene. That being said I enjoyed the presentation. Thank you!
This is a beautiful thing to see black and white people not fighting one another but working together and having a great time!
Aw man. Grew up in NC & VA. I do love my BBQ & Ribs. Some cornbread and Cole slaw and I am good for a little while anyway. I can close my eyes and smell it.
Dang, you just made me hungry. Lol ☺👍
Great video! I think I'll travel to Woodlands, Ga from Tallahassee, FL in a few weeks to see this in person. Thanks for info!
Unfortunately they will not be doing it this year (2019), but it will be back in 2020.
That was a great video!
We would put a burlap sack over the hog to hold the heat in after you poured the water on it . Keep it on the part that wasn't being scraped. We usually laid ours on a skid to keep it off the ground. LOT OF WORK.
I remember those days as a child when the weather turn cold, my dad and a few friends of his would kill hogs every year.Same procedure what these guys are doing.
In the USA ONLY seen in museum, in my country in every village.
I'd say between a third to half of the farmsteads in my home county slaughter pigs, chickens, deer, etc. But keep thinking you know all about a country of 320 million people. :/
Great video I just wish the camera person would have been closer to show exactly what the instructor was showing everyone. Also, have someone show what went into the brews.
we do this every week, its a task you need to do if you wanna eat meat - otherwise you have to do vegan food - no supermarkets here, no big farms - you grow and keep your own food ...
This is very nice awesome video 👍
Awesome... We do it a little different over here in Texas..
we use to help clean the hogs but love watching how they did things back in the enjoyed watch your video
Now THAT...is some excellent grammar!
Wow its a real life Ellstin Limehouse!! Awesome
The easiest way to scald the hog for scraping is get a large oval tub big enough to hold the hog and water and boil it over a fire. That drum is not the best. The tub holds the whole hog at one time to scrape the hair off it. Did many a hog killen here in Newport, NC
Great stuff America. That’s why you are so many years ahead of us Africans. Yet us Africans have loads of traditional things that we can teach the world but don’t take cognizance they exist, working harder to kill one another and inflict suffering onto each other. I love the multiracial social living and interaction am seeing here. Thumbs up for you good people.
It's good to see whites and blacks together, doing cultural heritage type activities... refreshing.
This is actually very common in rural areas of the south.
Ya'll lucky/blessed, I'm out West in Los Angeles CA.
They do that every Saturday and Sunday during football season...it's called tail gate
Funny how the Mainstream Media makes it out to be different doesn't it?
I was thinking same thing!
Looks like home to me
I've seen demos too. Its interesting.
Reminds me of the photo of the police searching Ed Gein's back shed.
That is some delicious lookin swine! What a great way to have fellowship! /G\
The Doctor has a Norfolk Southern hat on!
Why oh why do they have to kill something when you can buy it in packs!.
Making a tough job of it. lol. We create a fire under a old bath tub, bring it to 60*c, drop the hog in, 60 seconds and then onto the scraping table. 80% of the hair is off on the first scrap, then ladle over more scolding water to finish off the head and feet. So much easier.
Looks like I'll be buying a hog from a local 4-H kid this year and do my own hog killin out by the barn.
Hell yea Ribs...Bacon for my Breakfast and Burgers...Pulled Pork Sandwiches...Some for my Greens and String Beans!
Excellent video.. Would like to been able to see the cut lines.
I actually went to a couple of pig roasts since moving out to Connecticut it’s awesome and so delicious how a pig roast is when it done
so is your mother
nicole crystal ok really don’t u think that was rude because I don’t like pig roasts wow that’s was really immature there you sound like a real peach to be around just because someone loves going to
A pig roast doesn’t mean yo
Need to

And to
Bring up a comment about someone’s mother really very fucking intelligent wow really smart woman you are there
So
Crushed you broke my glass snowflake collection now from that comment grow the fuck up
crazy bitch insulting someone’s mother because you don’t like something that someone else likes really shallow and mature there really smart brain cells working there fuck u
Maternal Grand Parents were from England. Nanny told me many times of helping the Itinerant Butcher slaughter their hogs each year. The blood { pigs slaughtered in Biblical Fashion-throat slit } was part of His wages. He carried a very soft rope made of cotton. The noose went on the pigs snout. Nanny would lead them out to the field. This would be in late 1800's. She came to Canada app.1904.She was from Warrington. Village of Stockton Heath.
Wow, did this bring back memories! I'm an Iowa farm gal, and when I was little, I remember dad, as he called it, "rendering a hog". He really didn't want us little ones around when he did it, but we would peek between the slats of the corn crib and watch. I was fascinated by it! And I do love pork!😁 Thanks for sharing! ❤
TKS for sharing, a lot of info here for sure, to bad to many people in front of the camera when removing the hair & the cutting, again tks for sharing,
