Book Reviews of Basic Butchering of Livestock & Game
Book Review: Good book for Hunters
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for hunters and novice butchers. Covers the basic meats only. A must for the library. Would recommend.Book Review: basic butchering
Summary: 5 Stars
like the book says basic butchering. it is good for the beginner with no butchering skillsBook Review: Nice
Summary: 4 Stars
Here's the thing - trying to learn how to butcher animals entirely from a book is kind of like trying to learn how to fly an airplane entirely from a book: the book's alright, but most of your understanding will come from being taught or mentored personally.
Anyway, this is about as good as you could hope for in a book. I bought it a couple of years ago when I kept sheep, and it did come in handy sometimes. But if you are serious about learning how to slaughter/butcher, my advice is to seek out a local guy who can show you personally how to do it. You'll learn way more that way, and far more quickly.
Best of luck.
Book Review: Very beneficial for the self suficiency minded person!
Summary: 4 Stars
It helped me expand my knowlege of butchering wild game, namely venison! I could recommend this to the somewhat seasoned butcher as well as the novice! He also included some great idea's I can't wait to try for preserving different meats! My only complaint would be that the author did not explain the different quality of the cuts of meat(ie. tenderness) as well on the wild game as he did with the domestic animals. However, overall this book is well worth the cost and should be in any self-suficiency minded person's library!Book Review: Basic Butchering of Livestock & Game
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this book for my husband who is determined to master the skills of butchering processing and preserving meats.
Being from the city this book is a great help from the introduction the tool and equipment list, methods that's needed. The guideline is simple to follow the recipes or just wonderful to eat. What great illustration.
I recommend this book for anyone that's interested in learning these skills.
