DAY 1 OF 3: Appalachian Heritage Old Timey Hog Killing...Killing and scalding

What happens here

The video does not explicitly show the dispatching process, but the host explains that the hog is humanely dispatched using a .22 rifle and then bled by cutting its jugular vein. The hog is then transported from a trailer to the scalding tub using a tractor with a front-end loader bucket. The host notes that the process of dispatching and bleeding is not shown due to its graphic nature.

Goal: Move the dispatched hog to the scalding tub.
