Basically cut it up however you wish. If you want more pork belly go between the 2nd and 3rd rib instead of the 4th and 5th.

You like more meat on your ribs cut a half inch away from the ribs.

The hog doesn't care where you decide to cut.

Short, precise and to the point. No blah blah blah. Thank you for this!

VERY useful video!  Many thanks!  This helped tremendously last week when we harvested one of our American Guinea Hogs ourselves from start to finish.

That was the most helpful video I have seen on butchering!
Thank-you

Back in the day we would do this ourselves, nowadays everything is processed and kids don't know where their meat comes from.

I wish i would have watched this about 4 hrs ago. My buddy from work just purchased a 200+ lb whole hog an we did the best we could

A nice video sir, and well done as well. I just hope that people realize that there is still much work left to be done on this carcass.

Awesome! This is simply something every man should be able to do... Would like to see more detail on the other cuts though. :-)

How do you cut the pig in half like it was in the beginning of the video?

[PlayNiceFolks]

This is one of the main reasons why I love the Saw movies.

[peckcline]

This is gonna be a long shot but I'm opening my own shop and would love to know where you get that table from?

[travisdaniell]

great video on breaking down a half hog, what if you don't have your hog pre split?

[TheEschwank]

since when is half a pig considered a whole pig?

[bustarhymes-rsw]

If y'all emotional people can't handle it then stop watching pig is good asf

[toddsmitts]

I was promised a whole pig. I demand the other half.

[davidmcdonald]

Effortless cut
down to the bone
Just nicked that edge
Take a Moment to hone
She’ll treat you right
If you do the same
Number one rule
Stay true to your aim
