David, I think you ideas will work fantastically. Goats, then pigs is a great way to clear land and raise some great food!

Pk I know this post is a few years old now but I still wanted to congragulate you on your methods. They are so well thought out and efficeint, allowing you to be ‘lazy’ becuase you’ve already done all the hard work-planning. I also wanted to ask you a question-my brother has just inherited a piece of land in Portugal (4 acres) that is covered in scrub. I’ve told him my opinion is to let goats go on first and cut down the vegetation, then run pigs on after the goats to dig up and eat most of the roots and whatever’s left. Do you think this would work in clearing the land? Thanks, David.

Campfire steak & bacon! Have to say that one of the best steaks I’ve ever tasted was cut from the tenderloin of a 12-yr-old yak.

I want to chime in with encouragement to make this event as well. I’ve been apprenticing as a farm butcher for some time now, and since I’m particularly interested in a nose-to-tail approach which turns the lesser-known parts into delicious charcuterie, I’ve read and seen pictures and a few videos about European seam-butchery techniques. This workshop is a brilliant opportunity to learn these techniques in a hands-on situation with genuinely amazing teachers. I’ll be there with bells on, and I hope you will too!

Well said. I felt the same way, Neal, when Dominique asked me if could go to the states for the workshops. I didn’t have the time, the money or even the energy to think about it. Then you know what? I realized that there were a lot of people who would love to learn and would never make it to France. This was a perfect time to go and show. So I cleared my own calendar, Dominique asked his wife and brothers to cover for him, and I squeezed the money from a tight ‘need to fix the barn roof’ budget to by the tickets and take the chance we would feel these workshops. Please listen to Neal. Please come. Merci, Kate.

You are so right–not everyone is an expert and not all of us deserve a prize…nice post.

I am so glad that you went. I learned young that life is short and we must never compromise and put off our dreams. I live by this and also by my rule of giving thanks to friends and family and never taking them for granted. Thanks new friend for sharing your Gascony trip with all of us. I felt like I was there.
