Home Butchering Picture Tutorial (Lamb)

BTW, are the pics showing up ok for everyone on here? I know I have a problem part of the time with not all of them loading unless I hit refresh a couple of times.

 

Monkey man,
great thread just shared it with about 5 guys who just got into hunting this year. they all came looking for a butchering site and by far your pics were the best out here.
if you can get the stuff scanned and saved to file let me know i can burn as many copies as you need.
i would suggest keeping it on a simple format like power point or word as that would be easier for the not so computer friendly but pdf files are great to work with as well.
let me know if ya need my help i would be more then happy to, currently i have enough of cd's to burn about 250 copies for ya.
talk to you soon

I know it's been a little while, but thank you for the pictures/description. Great information.

Sure thing, hope it helps. If your interested in butchering keep checking in, I'll be getting a pig in the next couple of weeks and doing a similar deal with it and also butchering some chickens, rabbits and maybe squirls and once I have them all done I plan to put them on CD and maybe add some recipees and such and sell copies of the CD for about $12-$15. The lamb and beef that are already posted here is all I will probably post other than maybe one way of doing small game but it will all be on the CD when I get it done, hopefuly some time next month.

 

Please do. I'd gladly pay $15 for a good butchering CD. I'm a city boy right now (damn universities), but I'll be back where I belong (the high desert) soon. Also, not a big fan of paying $5 a lb. for meat at the market.

Just found this site, and it's already giving me all kinds of good information. I am at your service.

Cool deal.

 

Monkeyman, I've done a lot of butchering in the past, but the last few years, it was just a pig now and then. Because I was not set up to scrap the hair off the pigs I always skinned them. Oh, I didn't click on all the pictures, just enough to see you know your stuff. Thanks for the thread.

 

Thanks. I have all of whats here (in a much easier to follow format) and some more on the CD Im selling now in the general discussion thread with a stickey at the top of the page. I havent gotten around to trying to rework it here yet since it was written when we were useing a different software for the board and it didnt transfer over real well. In the old format and on the CD the pictures are right with the text that discribes whats going on and goes through step by step plus includes some recipees, tool descriptions, butchering charts and so on.

 

another great tutorial! thank you!!

A lot stays on/in the meat, but I trim a BUNCH ofit off. I figure at some point I may try useing some to make lye soap with so it would be skin friendly but so far I have just rended a bunch of it down, added some cologn to it to kindof help cover the natural aroma and made a solid hand lotion. I sent a big can of it, about like a 1 lbs coffee can, to Snipper before he shipped out to take with him and he seemed to like it, I know it works REAL well to soften and moisturize skin. After the butchering on this critter even the calouses on my hands were soft and moisturized, thats how I decided to use it as a lotion.

 

Cool, I will have to check that out later. There is also one that I think is linked to in another thread here that tells how to do it a little more seat of the pants and from scratch as far as makeing your lye from wood ash and so on and how to get the right strength and all.
