Picking Up The Pork From The Processor - How Much Did We Get?

[@barnieb1961]

Best thing ever getting our animals back from the processor. The sausage they made from it was the best ever! 2 pigs, pork chop and spare rib, made our family very happy and very full. Same with our black angus cow, yummy!

[@chevy6299]

Knowing where your food came from; Priceless.

[@sarayoung3164]

Wow! Excellent explanation of the benefits of raising pigs. Clean, healthy raised pork! yummm!

[@joycemastaw910]

Great video. That's a lot of bacon! Also your place looks really nice, especially since the weather's been so bad. Looks like Summer is your new "sidekick! Always nice to have a helper!

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Thanks! Yeah, summer has really takin a liking to helping dad lately

[@willymags123]

Thank you again for another great video we love y'all stay blessed

[@ramonacase2427]

YAY So proud for Ya'll!

[@billg1527]

Thats the same processor i use to process my deer, they do a great job, love that place !

[@topsecretbear9918]

Good haul. When your ready to stain that fence, I found some excellent stain that is very reasonably priced. The brand is called "ready seal" and it is sold at lowes, home depot and online at amazon. Very easy and cheap to apply. Lots of videos on YT about the brand. You wont be disappointed.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Cool, I'll check that out thanks!

[@PaulaJoDavis]

That's a freezer full of YUM right there! We have to buy a hog and have it butchered by the Amish, but we know it's grass fed and no chemicals used. Each February we get the hog and half a cow. YUM! Blessings to you from NE Missouri!

[@hanorabrennan8846]

Well done you!!!! Good job!

[@alitabattlechicken9732]

Yum. I’m hungry now. Well done

[@BigFarles]

Take some of your pork and cook it in a crock pot with sauerkraut. Even the pickiest kids will like it. We use chops, roasts, and even left over bones.

[@kaycox5555]

Awesome haul!

[@bradbusch9585]

My mouth is watering

[@baileysconstruction7898]

It would be really easy to set up to be able to do every bit of that processing yourself.

[@greensnapper1602]

Wow SSL, Wish that i was there for dinner.

[@TheOutdoorsman]

Definitely some cooking videos! Great job, that's security seeing all that meat in your freezer

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Awesome haul SSL Dad and family 😎

[@coreoncrack]

Would love to see you make soap, like from scratch, make you own lye from wood ash and maybe add coffee grinds for the smelle and the scrubbing effeckt :-) Maybe add Rice :-)

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Thanks for sharing todd

[@DOGFOODACTUAL8541]

I use Richardsons too for deer processing.

[@freedomisfromtruth]

Many benefits besides knowing where your food comes from and bacon. I would like to see some bean counter add up all the pounds of pork if it is cost effective as it sells from $1.50 to $3 per pound. The business to be in sounds like processing, if it can be done onsite that really would boost usability.

[@skidmorefamilyfarm112]

People are going to say that's extremely expensive. If you priced it all out at what the grocery stores charge you get it for 50 to 75 percent cheaper. I don't mean Walmart's sale price. Look at what high end meat costs. There's no comparison with store bought and home raised. We're on our way to becoming more self sufficient. You dedication is very inspiring. Keep up the hard work!

[@penningtongardenlife5350]

That is God given good eats right there. 🐖 🐷 🐽 good job. See you on the next video 😁❤️ Cheryl

[@richardperry9095]

Good video. We have two 1300 # steers being processed. We always have a grilled steak the night we get back with our meat. God has blessed you - as He has us. Keep the video's coming. Question, did you eat the boar that tried to eat you? I would have.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Unfortunately I was not able to. He had to be put down and buried

[@KeepingItDutch]

You raised them for 14 months? I get mine in the spring and butcher in the fall. They are 250-300lbs everytime. Raise them for 6-7 months.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

These are a pasture pig so we feed them mainly hay through the winter and pasture during the summer so feed costs are low but they take longer to get to weight

[@DuchesnesCorner]

We get about 16 pounds of bacon off our pinks. Average hanging weight last year was 256lbs.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Yeah, this breed is a bit smaller but cost much less to feed

[@BigFarles]

Also grinding bacon into venison makes great burgers.

[@rfabian48]

With all the Tomatoes you are growing along with the Peppers you could add the Pork to the sauce and have that as your next venture

[@woody9596]

I LIVE IN STERLING HTS MI GOT A FARM IN MACOMB CO TO RAISE PIGS WHERE DID YOU GET THEM PROCESSED GETTING GITTY TO RAISE PORK

[@denisricher1349]

PORKAPALOOZA Very Nice...

[@Beecozz7]

Nice pork haul!!! I would have kept the pork belly whole, so delicious!!!! I'm not a bacon fan!!! TY

[@exotickeeper4181]

Man. My brother works at a processing facility and we can get 50lb of bacon for 80bux lol precured smoked et etc ready to cook otherwise pigs wld be SUUUPER tempty to grow

[@jennienniedots]

maybe try standing the bacon up on the narrow side and having it in the door like....books on a shelf. sometimes i can get more to fit that way.

[@ryanbrockley7463]

Great vid, would be cool if you threw in the total cost of processing, that is something i am very interested in. Bringin home the bacon! Lol

[@SSLFamilyDad]

I believe is said the full cost was $514 for all three pigs for what I got. That will differ depending on what you order

[@nicolaiitchenko7610]

You're making me hungry now... Everything goes better with bacon.

[@yellowdeer7163]

Bacon!🐷🐷🐷

[@whiskeynature]

out standing.

[@denisestone8491]

Lol BAAAAACOOONNN! Bacon, bacon, bacon! Ohhh bb&b Sammy’s!....maybe with a side of tomatoes.🤔

[@RoseThistleArtworks]

I wonder what the price comparison is for driving to the store to get all that?

[@SSLFamilyDad]

I started to try and figure that out but it became to time consuming trying to add it all up. It seems to be quite a bit cheap since I offset the cost of feed by selling piglets but otherwise it would not be worth it

[@AaronLeeFilms]

It's STUNNINGLY less than paying full price. A lot of work, but also QUALITY product. So happy for you and your family. Well done SSL Family.

[@eviloctober]

$3,212.43

[@acornhomestead3575]

yum! BAAAACCCON! lol i take it thats your favorite thing. QUESTION: if you had 3 pigs processed, and only asked for a couple packs of ribs what do they do with the other packs of ribs? shouldnt one pig give the same (mostly) as the other pigs?

[@SSLFamilyDad]

You are correct! They ask you what you want, everything else all goes to ground sausage.

[@shorttallvlogs5796]

more hay videos !!!!

[@thecynic807]

I dont know which of you two are the chef in your family. But look up how to make scotch eggs. You'll thank me. They are delicious.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Sounds interesting, I'll check that out!

[@SSLFamilyMom]

I wear the chef hat in the family :)

[@thecynic807]

@@SSLFamilyMom I would say that I do since I do all the cooking at home but my wife is a thai chef. Shes from Thailand.

[@lechatbotte.]

We processed our meat ourselves. Requires some equipment and lots of time. Make my own bacon, you don’t have to smoke it, I like it both ways. You can do better raising and selling babies but it’s work work work.

[@felixhueser5219]

Do you use the meat of three pigs for your own? How long does it take to eat all that meat? Thx

[@SSLFamilyDad]

This will be a years worth for us. We will also give some to friends and family. Technically this is not for resale but some we will sell to friends and family also

[@capnjimmy7357]

All that bacon!

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Yeah man, I wish they could make the whole pig into bacon, lol. Hope you and your wife are doing good over there!

[@SSLFamilyMom]

Tastes SO GOOD, too!!

[@124bucket]

how long will the pork last in the freezer?

[@freedomisfromtruth]

Shouldnt it be forever since its sealed and freezer burn would be unlikely.

[@thecynic807]

No pork steaks. And not sure if you had pork loin.

[@taylormcclurg4444]

Use the pork fat to mix with your venison burger

[@Spencersofduffield]

You had me at '30 pounds of bacon', you lost me at 'butt roast'. Definately should have cooked up some bacon for the ending.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

I'll save a butt roast for ya:)

[@boywithlottatoys7039]

What about George ?

[@ubetchya78]

George was put down right after the incident and not processed.

[@sfc334]

NOT? He woulda been my next meal.

[@SSLFamilyMom]

When Todd and I were away at the hospital for a few days, our neighbors were texting us saying he was continually showing signs of very aggressive behavior (tearing through fencing and trying to attack our other animals) and our daughters were home taking care of the farm, so we just couldn't chance it and had to have a friend put him down. Our friends tried everything they could, but George was on a rampage, so we had to make that tough choice.

[@Chris_ck85]

Did you kill all of them? 😄

[@fancybrooks3156]

$514 to process the 3 pigs? Does that mean that that is what you had to pay the butcher to process your pigs?

[@williambell8875]

Have you gotten a jeep

[@MountainCrestFarm]

SMH...not enough room here for everything...
