Workshop: Complete Steer Butchering

Learn how to skin, dress, quarter and further butcher hoofed animals! In this workshop, we’ll take apart a steer at Taproot Commons Farm, learning about butchering, charcuterie and anatomy as we transform a whole, noble cousin of ours into food for us humans. All parts of the animal will be used, including organ meats, bones and blood and we will learn to use the sinew for string, hooves for glue and how to prepare the hide. Folks will be expected to roll their sleeves and participate. We’ll roast some up there. All this will be done, of course, in the respectful and open hearted context of interdependence.

Do students need to bring anything special?  – Clothes that can get messy and a sharp knife.
