Thread: Butchery

Just watching a couple of vids on YouTube and this popped up.

I know everyone does things differently but learning how to separate a joint would be a good start if you want to make an instructional video.

hohum....Ive seen a joker do it quicker and cleaner recently with a H&F folding gerbergator take off..... and not so long ago with a elcheapho Bacho...

Tastes good that last one mate. Made a big stew last weekend and a pie the next night with leftovers. Kids couldn't get enough.

What a bloody mess
Butchered is right

Everything wrong on that clip
All hat and no cattle there for sure - dang

Hope @BRADS not see this

That is what it looks like when you spend a kings ransom preparing for one hunt a year.

Oh - that makes it 10x worse

Like my favourite neighbor this morning - not !!
An hour after daylight going to "again" retrieve a Deer shot prior evening or night
I walked away from my vantage point shaking my headv - again
In his case I put it down to a negative with Thermal gear - no bloody excuse !!!
If you can't reteive it immediatly - DON"T shoot it/at it

Mehh, I use a chainsaw, a wee bit messy, but fuck it's quick

Has anyone got any links to a video showing how it's done properly? Cheers.

Pretty much any other video on YouTube. Damn that was painful to watch.

This is a pretty good example. The venex method is how the guys used to break down carcasses when I worked in the meat works as a young man.

Yes, think I prefer that one.
From 10:00 to 12:20 the leg is broken down into the three main muscle groups. For the butchery experts amongst us, could someone please tell me what the proper term is for each of these - referenced to the time in this video ? At 11:15 off comes the first of these three - this is the piece that includes that circular muscle (usually of a lighter colour to the rest of the meat) that cuts into small medallians. Has that piece got a separate name too?

I cant say Ive skinned a deer, but Im pretty sure my Father (Who shot tons of deer in Fiordland in my early days to feed us), would be turning in his grave at the mess (and wastage) they made of that.
