Default Donkeys meat shop build.

Growing up we always cut up our own hogs. And I like working with meat, I’ve did be a few beef and pork on my own, but it hasn’t been enjoyable due to lack of facilities, and equipment. So we would take our hogs, and steers to the local butcher. But my place is set up for turning animals out, not loading them up, and now you have to book a butcher date out so far, that I’ve had to butcher animals that weren’t quite ready.

I had this space available, and decided to turn it into a meat shop for my own use. I don’t really get any enjoyment out of slaughter, but I really like that I can walk into my pasture to slaughter an animal, and the animal will be under zero stress.

I think the space is laid out alright, the saw is 3 phase, I’ve got a VFD to make that run. There’s some bugs to work out there, I probably wouldn’t go the 3 phase route again, but it’ll get sorted.

None of my other pics will upload!

In addition to the table and garden hose, there a walk-in cooler, freezers, saw, more table, a large sink, and a wood stove. I think it’ll be a nice place to work, and make clean up easy.

Cool man. I'm currently looking for a condensing unit for a cooler. (decided against the coolbot method). However, I need to get it into a building, not in the garage.
