Yes, and I'm proud to announce that this file, which may have been
a handout from Wrynne for this class, will shortly be available in the
CLOTHING section of the Florilegium. (This weekend if I can find the
time).

Just remember, as has been mentioned here before, that the animals must
be dead prior to bringing them onto the Pennsic site, although I guess
that rule does not apply to fishes.

Phlip taught a very good class at Pennsic 28, where we started with
a live lamb and ended up with various cuts of meat. We did this by
actually holding the class at an offsite location.

For those looking for a less hands-on introduction to butchering,
check some of the files in the ANIMALS section of the Florilegium.
