Book Reviews of Basic Butchering of Livestock & Game
Book Review: A book every home should have
Summary: 5 Stars
Being raised in the city, I have no knowledge of how to butcher an animal other than chickens.
I felt I should learn how to prepare different animals in case I ever had to.
I now feel fairly confident I can do what is needed with out too many errors.
It is easy reading, clear and very informative. I would recommend this to any family who may someday face the need, either by choice of forced to not by choice.
Book Review: This Grizzly Adams thinks It is one of the best.
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this book to teach myself the basics of butchering many years ago and find it is a ready resource today. I butcher on a regular basis and would recommend this book to any man who has never put the knife to his own livestock before. One thing to remember about butchering is this, no book will ever give you the skills, you have to kill and cut to learn them.
Book Review: NTMI (Not Too Much Information)
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered this with several other items so delivery came piece meal. It came well packaged in a timely fasion. The book needs a lot more illustrations/pictures. The drawing of the cuts of meat for a cow was way simplified. The author spent a lot of ink focused on butchering cows, hogs and recipes. Could have been a lot better. I guess that's why it title says basic.Book Review: Short but Thorough Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is for my emergency instruction library. It covers everything from killing humanely and safely processing meat to packaging. Not a long book. There are illustrations that help spell the process out. There is not much fluff. I feel if I had to, I could figure out how to feed my family from one of our animals if needed with this book.Book Review: A Must Have For Hunters
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book. This should be a required purchase for everyone who takes to the woods in pursuit of wild game for the table.No more wasting meat or spending big money by taking your wild game to a professional meat processor, all you need to know is right here.
I highly recommend this book, especially to hunters and outdoorsmen.
