Catfish Brody sent me a link with really good, detailed, full-color meat charts. There are several for beef and pork, and then also one for lamb and one for goat.

I haven't butchered anything bigger than a catfish or hen, but there may come a day when I'll need to know these things.
The KY department of Fish and Wildlife sales a DVD showing how to process a deer.

These are or rather were my two go to books back when I had my country place. They answered just about any questions I had. The other great book "Stocking Up 1", is out of print. I already knew the basics from hunting and helping friends but these books refined my technique.
