Do you process your own hogs?

Growing up, dad or grandpa always took their deer to the local processor since they didn't hunt much.
But one of my buddies in HS taught me how to process/butcher, and I found that more satisfying and rewarding.
Thinking about doing some hog hunting and I want to learn how to butcher it myself.
Any of y'all butcher your own hogs? How'd you learn?

I clean and debone it all myself. I bring it to someone to vacuum seal it. Deer meat lasts for years if its vacuum sealed.

I do. I got sick of having to bring the meat to the butcher so I bought a LEM #32 grinder. Its fantastic. Now I just grind my own wild hog / deer meat, have probably 20 gallons in the freezer right now. Works really well if you mix it w/ ground boston butt or cheap ground meat you can get a the grocery store. If I was going to buy another grinder I would look at a cabelas meat grinder - I think those have a lifetime guarantee. LEM grinders are only warrented for 3 years I believe.

I was fortunate enough to attend one of the few High Schools in La who's Ag department still had a Meat Processing Center. We butchered for the community--deer, hogs, cattle, elk, moose, etc. I had "show pigs" throughout HS and my family also usually had at least one beef cow at a time, and would slaughter them ourselves, then I would process them in class.
Very rewarding, and a VERY valuable life lesson.
I still support the program as much as I can.
