My family owns and operates a beef farm, and even I buy retail. lol You guys spent entirely too much work on that crap. 😛

It's so much fun to learn, though. The money is really secondary to the experience.

Yes; prior to the U.S.D.A there was no beef; and if there was you'd die if you ate it or become two separate zombies.
 
From the looks of it that animal was grass-fed only, either that or you bought an old heffer that was no longer producing a lot of milk. Don't mean to thread crap but that looks like a tough eat..

It was grass fed and it was a steer. Preliminary taste tests came out quite well, I'll have a better idea tonight.
 
Good deal, nothing wrong with grass fed, might look different than what you see in local market but can taste fine. Glad to hear it was not an old heifer, typically these are processed for ground beef, (a small processing plant near here turns old heifers into Wendy's), they can be eaten as roasts and steaks but you better have the jowl muscles of a hyena.

Grass-fed means the cow is eating what it should. Cows are ruminants and have four stomachs in order to digest grass. Grain-fed beef is pumped full of hormones so it doesn't get sick from the havoc that grain causes its digestive system.
 
cutting bulk meat up is so fun that several many around here now take their deer kills to a local plant to get it sliced up for free -some of the meat.

Typically beef eat grass their entire lives until a short while before slaughter where they are put on "feedlots" and fed grains to fatten them up quickly, also gives the meat the look and texture people are accustomed to. Hormones are used primarily to induce rapid growth, IIRC..

I want to give deer hunting a try in one of the coming falls, look forward to learning how to butcher a deer.
 
where would you be going? Deer hunting in the plains (Nebraska, etc) is radically different from hillier wooded areas (Missouri, etc)

Washington, likely King or Pierce County, maybe Eastern Washington or Oregon if we really want to spread out.
 
I always hear about epic deal making in consumer commodities like this on fatwallet, good to see athd is achieving similar heights. lol.
 
The paint job on Hotchic's face does nothing! I already know what she looks like! (assuming it was her that was giving you medical attention)

You guys just happen to have meat hooks laying around or are those improvised meathooks?
