A bit basic I'm afraid, but the sequence of events is pretty clear.

Posting this right after the recent lamb rustling thread is not a coincidence . Ah dear, all the diplomacy & sensitivity of a turnip..

[the-gnole]

Really Lil, calling members "turnips" tsk tsk, I was just going through my photo tutorial archives and found this, thought it useful for members who need to learn new skills.

I often think that even us preppers lack the full understanding of where our meat comes from and how it gets there (wrapped in plastic, from the supermarket).
Truth is, we may never get the chance to butcher before tshtf and will need to quickly learn after. Sometimes, having seen a picture will help us to remember, if only in part, a process that needs to take place. I'll certainly remember those pictures (pass me the veggie burgers )

Very few want to know Su, but it is something that needs to get used to if you want to continue eating meat in a "post fall" future, I have killed and prepped small stuff, Rabbits and a Chicken, but something larger like the sheep above is something I haven't much chance of doing.

I have done work in an active slaughterhouse, and it is quite "odd" seeing all the pens full in the morning, but all empty by mid-afternoon

Chillers were full, the bins were full, but the silence

Some "survival" courses cover animal prep, but I don't think you will find one that covers larger than a rabbit.

check out Mark Gilchrist from Game for everything on Youtube.
He shows you how to prepare things like rabbit, wood pigeon, deer etc.

Liis - have you ever eaten pigeon?

[the-gnole]

Squirrel is tasty, but you need a few to make a good casserole.

Yes I've had pigeon, is lovely but very fiddly to do. And all kinds of game + venison and even goat & horse in France.
