Hi Alison
Just to say thanks for this morning and putting up with all the questions. You have inspired me to go ahead at the end of the summer.

Pig Butchery Course
The course is completely hands on, with a maximum of 2 delegates. You will each have half a pig and and a knife and will be given expert tuition by a butcher on how to butcher the pig to your requirements.
As well as learning your way around the various cuts you will be taught to bone and roll joints, including being able to tie a butcher's knot. You will be given the confidence to tackle the butchery on your own at home whether on your own produced pigs or on a half pig you have bought from a breeder.
The course lasts about 3 hours.
The cost is £140 for the course and you will also have the opportunity to purchase a half pig or quarter pig at a course price of £4.00 per kilo (usually £4.50 per kilo).
