What happens here

This video demonstrates the traditional Appalachian method of butchering a hog, transforming it from a whole carcass into various cuts of meat. The process involves dismembering the hog, splitting it, separating different parts like hams, bacon, and jowls, trimming meat for sausage, and finally, layering the cuts in a salt box for curing.
