July 20th - Beef Butchering: Whether you're a hunter who'd like a refresher, you raise your own cattle and would like to know how to properly butcher, or you buy your meat from your local farmer but want to know more about where on the body the cuts come from, join us. Our guest chef will be showing us how to properly butcher a cow so you can get the most out of the animal.

These classes will take place at Six Creeks Mercantile in Glenns Ferry. Classes are $30, and is limited to 15 people. Email info@sixcreeksmercantile.com to sign up!
