I hope I can have a mini processing facility with a walk in someday. A guy I just did a job for has a nice setup with a rail system between the fridge and the cut room, commercial grinder, and a huge smoker. Plus he always has 5-6 pigs in their own paddock/barn so he has a supply of pork on hand. If I could break away from my job and study a trade right now it would be butchering. I asked the local small packer if I could apprentice under him on weekends even for free and he’s a bit of a gruff old bastard. He said he’s about to retire and just doesn’t want to be bothered lol. One of his best former employees is this little old lady I also do jobs for. She’s about 90lb and this guy says she can have a cow from on the hoof to hanging in halves faster than he can. I just think it’s a great skill to have. I can do simple separation of muscle groups, roasts, chops and steaks but it’d be nice to know how to do all of the cuts and be quick at it.
