Beef Field Harvest Techniques: Learn how to field harvest cattle without any infrastructure, outside the harvest weaponry. We do not use headgates, chutes, coralls, etc., in order to maintain a truly honorable, richly spiritual, and stress-free environment for all.

Lamb Field Harvest Techniques: Learn how to field harvest a lamb without any infrastructure, outside of a knife. The ancient techniques that you will learn in this course are the most intimate, sure, and ethical we know. They are also the most accessible, requiring only a sharp blade.

Human-Scale Butchery: Learn how to break down beef and lamb with the most basic and simple technology: a hand saw, a few knives, and a simple meat grinder.

How to Cook Some Cuts: Do you know how to prepare the different cuts of meats, produced via whole-animal butchery? While this course is dedicated to the harvest and human-scale butchery componments, we will spend some time during this course going over cooking and preparation techniques.
