[@LuellaLane-d6n]

Good luck on your move to Montana and your new life living off grid! Thanks for your service with the US Coast Guard!🇺🇸

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

Wishing you the best of luck on your new endeavor!

[@kdavis7525]

Something else I wanted to share… I made a bunch of holiday potpourri kits and gave them as gifts this week. I took the little treat bags that you can buy at the dollar store and I put an orange, 1/2 a cup of fresh cranberries, two cinnamon sticks, and a tablespoon of whole cloves in each one and tied them up with a ribbon. I included the instructions to slice the orange, and then dump everything into a cooking or potpourri pot with enough water to cover the ingredients. I suggested adding a few sprigs of pine, or a teaspoon of vanilla, and allowing to simmer on the kitchen or wood stove. I love the smell of these at Christmas.

[@ChuckSchickx]

Watching you all doing so many different things, makes me realize how much I DON'T know!!! 😂🤣 It's a real joy watching your videos.❤

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

Oh my goodness ya’ll are having what I call a country cooked breakfast/dinner yum yum

[@polycovington4698]

That's my go to fudge every Christmas! So easy and good. Easy Christmas gifts along with some cookies,and a few other sweets! My niece expects this fudge every Christmas 😊

[@kennethvaughan8195]

I do miss dearly the meat processing that use to go on here. We didn’t process pork but instead beef. Andy mentioned leaving the meat out to chill. That’s crucial for the process and here in north east Texas we just really cannot depend on it getting cold enough and staying cold. Also my dad is no longer with us. He was the best meat processor I’ve ever seen. Only electric tools we had was the grinder. Every thing else by hand. Definitely a process EVERYONE HAD TO PARTICIPATE IN !!!

[@tammiestafford3471]

Hey True Grit. Everything looks delicious 😋 Megan. Your doing a good job Andy. God bless and have a wonderful blessed day.

[@Cthomas5678]

I’ve made sausage balls and didn’t care for them but I think the way you made them looks a lot better than the ones I made! Thanks for the ideas I appreciate it!❤and merry Christmas and happy hog butchering 🐖🐖

[@deborahh2165]

Got my sweatshirts! They are so nice! The handwritten thank you note she enclosed was such as awesome touch! My husband said, "you can't get that with Amazon" :) Have never made sausage balls, love them, but just never thought about making them. Definitely trying!

[@donnathompson4067]

I know y'all do hard work but it sure looks like fun...maybe it's the family working together that makes it fun. Andy, you are as handy as a button on a shirt !! So glad I found this channel. Yum.... good sausage biscuits... with some coffee...can't bet it. God bless you and your family

[@peggetennant]

The biscuits and sausage looked so good. I really enjoyed this.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for taking us along with you today and seeing all you are doing for the Hog Butchering, community style. The fencing is going good Andy and the feeding of the crews looks so good Megan, your two wranglers are really big helpers and they do a fine job. You all stay safe and pass a Merry Christmas on to all the workers on the Hog Butchering too. Fred.

[@anncox4445]

I just made your fudge today! Yum and so easy. Thank you! ❤

[@bettygriffin9181]

Meghan I sure wanted one of those biscuits with sausage!😋

[@harrygr218]

I am always hungry after watching Meagan cook up a meal.

[@marywesley316]

Oh that sausage looks so good! Our guy is making ours next weekend and I can’t wait.

[@TeresaEdwards-kw3np]

Thanks for the video !

[@kymburriss4260]

Loved this video, watched it on phone, and on tv. Y'all work together so well. Brought back memories of fencing when we raised bison, and getting fences straight and tight.

[@GailMarie80]

I love going bare footed even in the cold. I was raised that way.

[@pmartin6759]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Eph1-4]

Thank you💞

[@douglasmoore2953]

When we put up new high tinsel fence we always put the wire on first and get it just tight enough that it isn't laying on the ground and use it to figure out where the T-post goes. keeps from having to pull a string and also helps to make sure the T-post is straight love the videos!!

[@Donna592]

Maggie loves that horse. She is adorable

[@bettygriffin9181]

Have a good day tomorrow!

[@ednamyers5760]

LOL no teaching moment lost.. sometimes you just need to know what not to do and why... great video.. excellent job..

[@vikkibyington3066]

🙏🏻This world needs more people like you all. Loved this video….especially little Maggie helping her Daddy and walking the horses. She must get her love for animals from her Momma. I learned what parts of the pig 🐖 pork chops were from. I had no idea 🤷‍♂️. Mama loved tenderloin and her favorite meats were pork chops (meat loaf). I guess that makes sense now that I heard and saw Andy demonstrating and slicing the chops. Missed seeing the Little Man 👨 on this one. I wish I had the means to send y’all gifts 🎁 but what I can give you are my prayers, love and respect. Jesus is the reason for the Season. I read somewhere that this one family always made a Birthday cake for Jesus every Christmas. 🙏🏻♥️

[@brendafoster6987]

I'll take one of those biscuits 😋

[@HoosierMomma71]

Thanks!

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

Thank you so much for your kindness and support!

[@lizmiller2341]

Fun video. Enjoyed it very much! Meagan I make fudge very similar to the recipe you just used. But I always pour it in an 8 x 8 or 9 x9 square. But I liked the idea of thinner in a 9 x 13.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

It was very thin, but it was really good, I think next time I will make 2 batches to pour in the 9x13 instead of spreading just one so thin I also threw in a scoop of peanut butter on a second batch I made (off camera) and poured it in a little smaller cookie sheet, it was about an inch thick and delicious!

[@craigstevens6164]

Y’all camera angel great . Thanks for time ya spend on it. Jus sayin.

[@dianelyons3033]

I'VE LEARNED I WOULD LIKE TO COME HAVE A MEAL WITH YOU ALL. 😊❤

[@EmbracethechaosPortugal]

A long time ago we used to prize the few pork chops which came with a slice of the kidney still attached..never see that anymore.

[@noahsmith8988]

Merry Christmas and hog killing when we had one was one of my favorite times of the year nothing any better than fried tender loin biscuits and sorghum syrup we never had anything to cut up porkchops like Andy did so we had tender loin and backbone I love boiled backbone with good crispy cornbread some of the best parts of my life

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

I love some boiled backbone too 😊

[@davidburchfield2720]

Hay Andy get you a 60 penny nail to wind your string and use your drill to wind it up !!!

[@RedLloyd-r4i]

I like that fence work Andy them was some purty pork chops you cut up to you want get any from a store that's good as them and maggan your sausage and ham biscuits look some kind a good to make me want to come down their and help kill hogs lol😅 God bless yall loved the video

[@territn8871]

That little Maggie is cute as a button with her cowgirl hat on and so sweet out there walking her horse!❤ Megan next time I make sausage balls I'm going to remember to add a block of cream cheese! I love to make up a batch of sausage balls this time of year and freeze them. Then I can just take out a few at a time for my son and I to have for breakfast or just to snack on. Your sausage and ham biscuits will be so good too. Everyone helping out with the hog meat will enjoy your good food!!!!! P.S. Those sure are delicious looking chops, Andy!!!!🥩

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

Freezing them is a great idea!! I may give that a try, thank you!

[@territn8871]

@TrueGritAppalachianWays I just lay them on a baking sheet lined with tin foil or wax paper, then put in freezer until frozen. Once frozen, I put them all in a ziploc freezer bag and pop in the freezer! Comes in handy when you just want a few at a time!

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Now that's old time Stokes County right there. It would be worth helping kill hogs just to get to eat some of that great food. Y'all have a great night and a good day tomorrow!

[@sharongarrison8328]

My 40 year old son made 100 sausage balls for Thanksgiving.

[@ChrisAlred-mn5if]

Wonderful family. Let us know how the fudge turned out. I have yet to make a fudge that isn't grainy. 😊🍫

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

It turned out fabulous!!

[@ChrisAlred-mn5if]

@TrueGritAppalachianWays I am going to give it a try. Thank you, and whoever the subscriber is who sent it to you, thanks 😊 🙏 ☺️ 👍

[@dorothybentley3808]

You can tell Maggie is a daddy's girl.💓

[@waynemoody3489]

Fencing pliers are nice when you have to pull staples and driving staples. Just for information only .

[@davidburchfield2720]

Any Andy on your post cross brace cut you a notch out of your post and slide your brace in from the side with a noch your cross brace can't go up or down in the noch will hold better 40 years building barns and home just a thought !!!

[@waynemoody3489]

Would you please share your recipe of seasonings for your sausage. For the sausage you make from your hogs,

[@LFish637]

Andy be careful with those sleeves, when slicing pork chops

[@LFish637]

Go Maggie go!

[@toniheath2274]

Do you have trouble keeping your bar tight on your Dewalt electric

[@lbcustomleather]

Do you have a breakfast sausage recipe on video by any chance?

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

We don’t, we use a seasoning called old mansion, it used to be sold at some little hardware stores around here but now we have to get it wholesale straight from the company

[@sherrisprague7998]

Meagan and Andy, what do yall feed your pigs??

[@sandraward116]

..I just don't care..I'm a,70 yr old who has nothing better to do but watch some of my favorite people.. ..and throw a few unwelcomed comments to my govt.. 😮💜😮

[@beetlebaily1972]

I was yelling at the screen but you didn’t hear me. Hahaha

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

😂

[@jeffersonproject1637]

Would the bisquick just replace the flour in the sausage ball recipe??

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

It would replace the flour, baking powder and salt

[@jeffersonproject1637]

@TrueGritAppalachianWays Awesome! Thank you!

[@LFish637]

Do you wash your cast iron pans?

[@craigstevens6164]

It farm work y’all nuddin works out . Jus sayin . Back up en do it agin. Cool vid.

[@LFish637]

Feed them apples and carrots girlfriend

[@lisahayes6656]

Do you ever use your pork for hamburger meat.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

No, we always season it up for breakfast sausage, we usually have plenty of ground beef in the freezers 😊

[@MikeComerford-d8h]

If you’re going to use the forks as a workbench, at least raise it up so you don’t have to bend over
