Traditional Animal Processing Workshop

Tuition: $130
Presented By: Jeff Sanders

During this three-day workshop students will learn to humanely slaughter and then skin, eviscerate, and butcher a locally raised sheep in a traditional way, using little more than one’s knife. We will identify the parts of the animal and learn how to process the muscles, sinew and tendons, intestines, and organs as well as share some ways to cook the edible parts. Students will have the opportunity to work on projects including bone tools, sinew and intestine cordage, hoof rattles, hide glue, and more. Examples of such items will be available. A dish will be prepared utilizing meat from the animal for the Skills Foundation Fundraiser Lunch at the Harvest Festival.
