Now you’ll be able to prepare meat for salting and curing, freezing, sausage making, and more.

Review: Just What I Needed. - I have a dozen such books for reference material. This one has some reallyu good ideas, techniques and recipes for a very specialized cooking skill and clientele. It's well written and inspirational. This will be a handy book of knowledge, and a culinary skill when the SHTF; at a time when a WORTHY, and Profitable Skill Set could save lives. Review: a quick, illustrative, no-nonsense guide to making your own meat. - This is a very informative book that delivers exactly what it promises. With this you know exactly how to cut up any farm animal or most of the creatures you might catch, at least in North America, while hunting. This book explains what tools are needed, how to use them, and safety tips both in the cutting and managing of the meat. The best part about it is that it tells you about how much space and what you can and cannot do with various tools and does not urge on rash undertakings in home butchering. On the plus side for someone who is interested in such tings, it also explains the benefits and drawbacks of various types of meats and how some of them have changed, even answering my question I have long held on how pork went from a meat you were told to avoid no matter what to one of the healthier meats which I found very interesting. I will likely never butcher my own meat, but if you want to, or you are just curious on how it is done, which is why I bought it, this is the book for you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #19,883 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Hunting #13 in Food Science (Books) #18 in Meat Cooking | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 698 Reviews | ## Images ![The Ultimate Guide to Home Butchering: How to Prepare Any Animal or Bird for the Table or Freezer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JvDhf4KGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just What I Needed. *by G***G on January 10, 2026* I have a dozen such books for reference material.
