Real experiences from real customers who love our products and service.
"Finally Processed My First Deer"
I've been hunting for years but always took my deer to a processor. This book gave me the confidence to do it myself for the first time. The illustrations make every step crystal clear. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
"Every Homesteader Needs This"
We raise pigs and chickens and this book has been on our shelf for two years now. It's the first thing I grab when processing season comes around. Straightforward, honest, and covers everything you need.
"Bought It for My Son, We Both Use It"
Got this for my son when he started raising his own lambs. Now we both refer to it regularly. The venison chapter alone was worth the price. Great resource for any family that takes food seriously.
"Clear, No-Nonsense Instructions"
I was nervous about butchering my own chickens for the first time. This book walked me through it so clearly I felt calm the entire time. No fluff, no unnecessary detail — just exactly what you need to know.
"Worth Every Penny and Then Some"
I've saved hundreds of dollars processing my own hogs since getting this book. The instructions are easy to follow and the recipes in the back are a bonus I didn't expect. Highly recommend to anyone on a homestead.
"The Only Book You Need"
I've looked at other butchering guides and nothing comes close to this one. The fact that it's written by a vet makes a huge difference — you can tell every instruction comes from real knowledge. Mine is dog-eared and stained from use.
"Bought Three — One for Each of My Brothers"
All three of us hunt and farm. When I found this book I immediately ordered copies for my brothers. We've all used it and it's become the go-to reference in all three households. Practical, durable, and genuinely useful.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from other butchering books?
+
This book is written by a veterinarian with over 30 years of large animal experience — not a chef or hobbyist. That means the guidance is rooted in real anatomical knowledge and practical field experience. It covers more animals than most guides and has been revised and updated to stay current.
Is this book only for people with farms?
+
Not at all. Hunters, homesteaders, and anyone who wants to process their own game or livestock will find this useful. If you've ever taken an animal to a processor and wanted to do it yourself, this book is for you.
How quickly can I start using what I learn?
+
Immediately. The book is structured to be picked up and used on the day you need it. Each animal has its own chapter with step-by-step instructions you can follow in real time. No prior knowledge required.
What if I've never done this before?
+
This book was written with beginners in mind. The language is plain, the illustrations are clear, and the steps are broken down so anyone can follow along. Thousands of first-timers have used it successfully.
Does it cover food safety?
+
Yes. The book covers contamination prevention, proper aging, chronic wasting disease in deer, and spoilage avoidance in detail. Food safety is built into every chapter, not just an afterthought.
What if I'm not satisfied?
+
We stand behind this book completely. If you're not satisfied for any reason within 90 days of purchase, return it for a full refund — no questions asked. Zero risk.
