Adams Farm Slaughterhouse workshop

The head meat cutter and one of the owners of Adams Farm Slaughterhouse will give a practical demonstration of how to breakdown beef, pork, and lamb/goat carcasses, plus a demonstration of how hanging carcasses will vary. As they break them down they will explain how they fit into the cut sheet with practical examples: how one cut, which may be highly priced, will ruin two or three other cuts, or the way that taking a cut from a smaller animal will not yield a significant enough size of meat to be saleable. They will supply written material for the participants to take with them as reference to what they should be looking at in balancing the demands of their customers with the reality of their carcass. Adams Farm will also supply all protective and sanitary clothing.
