    What a pro she is. I brought home a whole hog cut into quarters. I followed her instructions for cutting up and deboning a ham. Super helpful. Thanks

    Thanks for the video. Husband just brought a wild hog home and I was clueless about where to begin. Your step by step instructions will really help us get this job done!!

    Thank you for your video. I am just learning the art of slaughter, butchery, and charcuterie. We raised 7 pigs this year on pasture and the butchery side of things was probably the most mystifying. This series has been a real nice resource for me. Keep 'em coming!

    Thank you for taking the time to show how to do this. I just bought a whole pig (I live in Kenya and it's cheaper to buy that way..) This is the third time I've had you in my kitchen helping me! Thanks!!

    In just a couple of weeks I'll be posting a video on how to make homemade bacon - which involves curing and smoking. The results were the best bacon I've ever had!
    And, thank you. =)

    Very helpful video. Once again, I've got a large pork picnic shoulder roast to take down. I've really been trying to hone my skills at this, so I watch several videos before each attempt. I noticed that everyone has a few personal and unique touches that I can relate to. That's why I keep learning and adding to my knowledge banks. Thanks so much for posting this video. I've got to go sharpen my boning knives now and have another go at a pork picnic shoulder. Each time I do it gets better and better. You've been very helpful. Sharon

    why not cut the hock through the joint and when through 45 % angle off,you could use a steel to put through the hole in the aitch bone if you scoop most of the meat from outside the aitchbone first ,theres a vien in that topside u cud remove ,small toprump floating bone cut as a v ,when cured after hanging its straight ,less waste ,better to seam that ss as there is now gristle in it and a wedge of fat plus shin ,each to his own but not a profitable way of production

    Awesome video ....where did you learn such dexterity in handling a carving knife? You have provided a visual learning experience in carving a pigs leg. You have motivated me to try it.
    Is it advisable to individually dry cure all 5 muscle pieces and produce smaller prosciuttini?
    Thank-you for sharing your amazing skills.

    Damn this is the first time I've seen a woman butcher a pig not to mention in a professional manner. Absolutely love butchering my own meat, gives you a greater appreciation of different cuts.

  • @chrisvillarruel2221
    @chrisvillarruel2221 11 років тому +1

    This woman's lights are ON. Like most people, I've watched youtube videos for years. I've never really felt compelled to comment on one before though, which is kind of weird because I Reddit nonstop but... Camas needs to be known, Camas needs to be seen, there is way to little of her on the internet right now. Yeah, I'm a guy and yeah she's pretty but the intelligence just captures you and you can't look away. Count me in Camas.

  • @mt280460
    @mt280460 9 років тому

    Thankyou for the video. The three part series has been most helpful. They are not the cuts Ill be doing but I now know where to start. Why do you salt and sugar some of the cuts? Is this also called "pickled pork" in the shops? kind regardsMark

    • @jeremybrown9331
      @jeremybrown9331 8 років тому

      salting and sugaring the meat draws the moisture out, referred to as curing. i imagine pickled pork would be from a liquid brine

    Thank you very much for this fine presentation dear lady.
    It was articulately informative, captivating to the eye and skillfuly executed from start to finish- or is it top to bottom? I am in the process of learning the fine arts of butchering myself. It's a respectful craft, as to the artist as to the food, and a perfect pre-medical practice. And I'll tell you an ironic secret as well.
    That when I finally find a woman I like enough to take her as my own, I wish she'll have the same skilled pair of choppers as your own madame.
    I wish you many fruitful feasts and hope none of your days are
    burdened by the plight of vegetarianism,

    Also, We raise goats, pigs, cows and chickens. All of our animals are out on big pastures all day long and then we keep them in uncrowded barns and stables at night. All of them are trained to come back when it gets dark. They basically roam free all day living a happy life. We treat them well and never do anything to harm them. When it's there time, like I said, we make sure they die in peace and we thank them for being alive to feed us humans.If you have never tried farm raised meat,you should

    Pigs do have sweat glands. Besides, I don't really get what you mean by "toxins" being removed through sweating. Toxins (household chemicals, toxic metals, f-ing uranium) are removed mostly through urine or feces, a.k.a. liver, kidneys and the digestive system. Sweat may contain trace amounts but it's effectiveness at "removing toxins" is pretty negligible.

    Yes, of course we have canines, very short ones though, not intended for meat tearing. We're also lacking a lot of things in our body to properly digest meat.
    It is not just healthier to keep a vegan diet, but also much better for the environment, and so much more humane.
