Just got word I'll be having my first lesson in butchering tomorrow evening. It is one of the lessons in the hunters course.
That'll be interesting, since it will most likely be a large animal..
Good clear information & pictures there. Your English is pretty faultless.
Good skill to learn and can be transcribed to all sorts of beasts. A farmer friend of a friend sells off lambs/hoggets, and buying a half or whole one is much cheaper than going to a butcher.
After being taught on rabbits as a child I moved on and taught myself on bigger beasts like red stags which I used to shoot at work. Very satisfying going from live beast to meat on the plate all by your own hand.
Like you I prefer older mutton, lovely deeper taste, especially when allowed to graze on wild herbage. Goat is very nice too, though I always get slightly attached to them as they have great personalities. My favourite of all ungulates.
Interesting to hear how the new homestead is coming along.

Now normally buy one a year from the local farmer but my freezer is full of venison and minced dog food.

I just want to share a picture of our first dinner made from the lamb It was delicious, and we are now wobbling around like stuffed geese. Thank you, tasty lamb!
BCUK rules! Photos or it didn't happen
It turned out to be real disappointment.....
We entered an empty slaughterhouse and talked (!) about the slaughteringproces, but mainly about hygiene. Of course the theory is important, but I and the others with me, would have liked it much more if we had gotten a little more practical. Not even an ounce of meat in sight.. Bugger.
