    Great video - taking folks through things visually and step by step is ideal. Not saying they could automatically go through and do the entire processing end to end, but it is enough to peak interest or as a reminder. Of course you are using Dawn dish washing liquid. That is what they use on waterfowl after an oil spill. It is perfectly safe as long as you rinse thoroughly later. My son used to use it after he was out fixing his bicycle. Nothing cuts the grease quite like it! Thanks, McGie clan!

    You’re not crazy for cleaning the skin if you’re going to eat it. In the slaughter houses they use scolding bins to remove hair and debris from the hogs.
    Being sanitary is a wise move. Scrub brushes to the skin works well for small operations like yourselves, or scraping the hides after the hair removal.
    Most important thing is cleanliness, like you said hogs love mud and you know what’s mixed in with the mud lol.
    Don’t worry about what anyone says do what works for you.
