Nice little film, I must admit I expected the word 'FIN' to pop up at the end ;)

When we put our two pigs to slaughter we put a lot of thought into the butchering of them at home. we got some valuable advice from our friendly butcher about age to put them away, and also used the River Cottage, Pig in a day DVD for further research on cuts, handling, splitting the side and making the hams.

IMO it is well presented, a good resource and it certainly helped us with giving more confidence and having a go at home butchery...

The video's a bit 'jumpy, but you can get most of the gist. What I don't agree with is the way they season things without weighing/measuring everything. It's probably okay as a one off but you will never get uniformity doing it that way.
