8/17 Cull Ewe On-Farm Slaughter Workshop
Come join Rural Vermont and Mary Lake on Saturday, August 17th at NewGrass Farmstead in Wolcott for an on-farm slaughter and processing workshop. This is an opportunity to learn about the need for culling as part of livestock management and the benefit of on-farm slaughter to ensure quality of the entirety of life for the old beloved livestock animals. In the first half of this 2-part workshop, participants will learn how to humanely slaughter a culled ewe. In the second half of the workshop, participants will learn how to efficiently butcher and process a ewe.
The workshop will be hosted by Gwyneth Harris at NewGrass Farmstead where she specializes in raw cows' milk, Clun Forest sheep, pastured meats, small batch wool yarns, and working border collies...
