Butchery course in scotland

[Neil Melville]

I would like to know if anybody knows of a butchery course running in scotland? Myself and a friend would be very interested.

Neil
I would be interested in this course as well and may be able get someone else along. If a couple more are interested it may prompt someone to set up a course. Let me know if you hear of anything.

Contact Andrew at the Store Company in Foveran just a few miles from you - he runs butchery courses. http://thestorecompany.co.uk/index.php?section=main&sub_section=HOME&id=72 tell him David recommended him!

Admin: I have no fiduciary connections with the Store Company at all - they are however great supporters of countrysports and the rural way of life.

Edit: just looked at your profile I see you are in Newburgh, Fife not Newburgh, Aberdeenshire - maybe a bit of a trip!

Now this is an ancient thread, but I think there will be a group of us who want to learn how to butcher our deer more effectively.
How do we do this? This thread is four years old. Things must have moved on - apart from the excellent YouTube videos available.
Somebody on this excellent forum must be able to give us an answer.

I'm happy to host a venison butchery course near Newtyle if there's enough interest? If interested parties want to PM me direct I can gauge demand and get something set up. Course content will include basic carcass-handling, practical demonstration, course notes (possibly a DVD) and perhaps extra content based on individuals requirements . . . . .

Nothing like hands on .
Anything north Arshire give us a shout.

 

[goathunter1]

Well, Woodsmoke, needless to say, I'm in. I wonder how we can rustle up some extra interested parties?

 

[Woodsmoke]

Well, I'm sure if we can't run a course we can make some sort of a trade between ourselves

As said on other post if I'm home I'm in , & ifxaway hopefully other opportunities

Eh? Don't think so!

 

[Dogmac]

Send me the details if this is happening,I would come along.

 

[goathunter1]

All of this is very encouraging. Keep spreading the news.

Good one Iain

Count me in.

PM on the way.

 

[jimmy milnes]

Bugger real shame that you're 5hrs away as I'd of been in for that

 

[JockStalk]

If I'm home I'd be very interested !

 

[Woodsmoke]

I'll be sure to keep everyone posted!

As an aside, and to maybe give a flavour as to what to expect from the course, here's the result of my butchering a Blackface I shot the other day for my own consumption. I'm not a time-served butcher, but I've dealt with many carcasses, from roe/red deer, to sheep and pigs, and I hate wasting meat! If anyone has anything in particular they'd like to see as part of the content, please feel free to make suggestions

Looks good to me. I'm certainly not averse to a bit of mutton.
