We’re excited to host a ham curing workshop- Monday, January 12th at 6:30 PM

Virginia Style Country Ham Curing Workshop
If you are interested in learning how to cure a country ham, Virginia style, we will be conducting a hands-on workshop at 6:30 p.m. on Monday January 12, 2026 at Anderson and Sons meat processing located at 13030 Chip Ridge Rd., Abingdon, Virginia. Participants will learn the process and science behind curing country hams. Each participant will prepare their own ham with the cure and at the end of the curing process will take their ham home for their own use. The program will consist of three sessions as follows: 6:00 p.m., Monday, January 12; 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, January 20; and a session TBA in mid-March. The cost of the course will be $50.00 per participant. This includes the cost of the ham and curing ingredients. The hams will stay at the Anderson and Sons facility until the end of the curing period at which time participants will take their hams home to age.

We love Mom at the Meat Counter’s educational infographics! A great explanation of dressing percentage and see the comments for a graphic explaining retail cut weight based on live animal weight.

After my post about pork yesterday, I've been requested to share the beef one. I'll work on one about lamb and goat.

Great infographic from Mom at the Meat Counter!

After the lamb post yesterday, I had several requests for the beef one. I shared it back in the Spring, but here it is again.
These are estimates based on research. I've compared them to some cattle that we have harvested in our abattoir and found them to be pretty close.
Cattle in feedlots right now are much heavier than 1200 pounds, and heavier weight cattle will give different numbers.
