Deer and Lamb Butchery Workshop: From Field to Freezer (and Table!)

Curious about how to break down an animal into usable, marketable, or cook-ready cuts? Whether you're a hunter wanting to get more from your deer or a farmer looking to understand how to offer a variety of cuts to different buyers, this workshop is for you.

We’ll kick things off with a light supper, then move into a hands-on butchery demonstration using a lamb carcass—which closely mirrors the build of a deer. Throughout the evening, we’ll talk through both hunting and farm-based approaches to butchery.

Topics will include:

  • Basic and advanced cutting techniques
  • Cooking styles and best uses for different cuts
  • Tips for pricing and marketing meat to different customers
  • How to turn a whole animal into manageable, freezer-friendly portions

We’ll leave plenty of time for questions, discussion, and close-up viewing of the butchery process. Whether you are new to butchery or well experienced there will be something for everyone.
