Mungler Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Just been watching HFW. I don't want to be a butcher but I appreciate the skill and know how involved. Like anything I reckon it's more about knowing the way to do it properly. Anyone been on a butchery and or meat management course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden22 Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Mungler, I've never done a course, but I helped my Mum butcher our pigs (going back a few years now though). She hasn't got any training, but she new exactly what to do - my Dad was the same. I think that when they were growing up most people kept animals of one kind or another, so I suppose people learnt how to prepare them. . I couldn't make head nor tail of it (if you'll pardon the expression) - I just did the slicing and sawing, she was just pointing, "Cut that like that" and so on. I think you're right - knowing how is the real skill. I wouldn't recommend it - chopping up two pigs in your kitchen is bloody hard work (pretty unpleasant too). They did taste good though.

cubix Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 2shots - what do you do with your deer when you shoot them? do you butcher them yourself or get someone else to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
