RE: A BYPRODUCT OF OUR CHOSEN LIFESTYLE
do you also have to slaughter the animals yourself or do you use an abattoir? growing up, my father was a butcher and we had our own butchers shop, so i appreciate the sentiment of this post. i never buy meat from the big chain stores, i prefer local butchers shops. its not quite rearing my own food, but a step closer. one day I hope to be blessed enough to own or rent a smallholding so I too can raise and grow my own food 😊
I'm learning to do it myself, so far with chickens, rabbits, and deer. Plus, I did use a reciprocating saw to make porkchops with some of my neighbors.
There are bandsaws that make butchering much quicker and easier. I had one, and they're not even that expensive. Have a search, but I found a pretty good source for a lot of things at Harbor Freight, and the like.
Edit: also, try freezing the meat first. it's easier to cut a solid than wet meat.
Good points! Noted!
A meat bandsaw is just a bandsaw made out of stainless steel so it can be washed down.
Having one for yourself I would consider a waste of space. Unless you start processing more than just for your family.
Also, ... finding a better blade for your sawzall may be the way to go. The correct blade would look like a bumpy serrated (not toothed) blade. Maybe try a electric carving blade in your saw.
Cool, I'll look into it. I was just helping the neighbors and learning a few things, but I'm always down for learning more and improving!
