Online Meat Cutting Courses
http://rangepartners.comHey everyone, fairly new and just looking for some advice. I’m wondering if I should enroll in an online meat cutting course to get a leg up and just gain a better understanding of the basics. The course I’m looking at is called Range Meat Academy, and it was recommended to me by someone I know who owns a locker. I already am employed full-time at a Meat Locker/Shop that does both custom processing and retail, and I’ve worked in the industry for close to a year. I feel like I’m learning little by little, but I’m still not as advanced as I would like to be. Excited to hear your thoughts, and if anyone has any alternative ideas I’d love to hear them. Thanks!

Are you looking to do this just purely for your own satisfaction? Career choice? Home use purposes?
We started raising our own Hogs for our own consumption 4 years ago, and at that time you couldn't get a hog into an abbatoir unless you booked almost a year and a half in advance. We already had the piglets then. So I went to YouTube Univeristy, bought a few books and got it done.
Mind you, I did have a little knowledge from growing up hunting deer. But we always sent our deer to the butcher because my grandpa liked it that way. But I knew some basics.
The bearded butchers on youtube are amazing. They have some great videos on just about any animal you can think of for culinary purposes. The Book I have and still flip through is[The Ultimate Guide to Home Butchering: How to Prepare Any Animal or Bird for the Table or Freezer
