Theres plenty of failures, you’ll be sure to see those here too. We’re a homeschooling family who believes life is the best teacher but we do hit the books in winter.

Literally watching this and binging on your videos as I butcher up our pigs. Thanks for keeping me company!

That is some beautiful bacon! Thanks for the breakdown.

Fantastic video. We charge in a different way, but the cost works out the same. I am impressed with the cut selection. I think we will ask for smaller roasts, and more kinds of chops also. Cool beans. Thank youl

Brill! I'm kicking myself for not getting the ends and jowl from our last pig. Also, I have to practically beg my farmer to buy whole pigs. That's it. I'm leaving Colorado and moving to N.BC so you can be my local farmer. 😉😏 Keep up the good work. You are giving me gems of knowledge!

That cost seems a little high but I think just maybe because you are working in Canadian. Here in WNY hanging weight cost for pig is more like $3 if you are also paying for the butcher. Just for anyone watching from other areas :)

How often do you buy half a pig and cow?

[JoelPalczewski]

I feel like my comment sounds negative 😂 but I didn't mean it to just informative. I think this was a great idea for a video. Have you done a lard rendering video? That would be super awesome! Ive been putting off rendering tallow for like a year. I don't even know if the fat is still good!
