Buying a cow??

[Nutball]

You could always try putting one through the chipper, and package the chunks that come out for stew meat.

Meat hook. Check.

Interesting info on page 1 about how rough butchering and dealing with slippery meat is on the hands

TIL Flushcut ain’t a practicing Hindu.

Nope! I am pretty much a man of many religions but die hard to none.

We did end up buying half a steer from the Amish all butchered and wrapped.

Was it aged? And if so, do you know how long? The guy who used to process my deer would let them hang a few days in the cooler prior to butchering. I’d tell him to let it hang at least a week if possible. We watched a show not long ago about a guy who aged a loin for 200 days....

Butch had a thread about ageing beef once. Aging Beef - https://www.masterblasterhome.com/threads/aging-beef.15606/

Pretty hard to get aged beef from butchers these days, Amish might still do it but we're a bit short on them.

I was told it was age a week. The meat is an amazing shade of redish purple with yellow fat. Grass fed no hormones. Tasty! The ground beef is probably the best I've ever had.

Sounds lovely.

Just wish we had a source for that kind of thing over here.

This year's crop, eating good! I like mine too hang 2 weeks but my game I process right away.

have any made it over there at all? There are quite a few communities that have made it throughout South America. Wasnt sure if they made the boat trip. They are the fastest growing demographic in this country. If it continues, they will take over eventually.

Cows names in no particular order : Sir Loin, Chuck Roast, Porter House, T. Bone jr.

My all time favorite home raised cow name was "Delicious"...as in, sitting around the dining room table enjoying a nicely prepared cut of beef..."this is Delicious".

"Tender" runs a close second...

A few in Tasmania. Meet the McCallums, one of Australia's few Amish families - https://www.smh.com.au/national/meet-the-mccallums-one-of-australia-s-few-amish-families-20181016-p509xn.html

No others I know of. There's some Brethren here in town and Tamworth, that's about the closest thing there is.

Actually they were Henry, Brown eye, Apples and Perm. But Perm's new Yorks are excellent! 😁

Judging by how much you cook for thanksgiving do those four last you a year?

 

[DMc]

@sotc, Willie, what was used to put them down?

 

[squisher]

Very cool thread we buy 1/4's off a neighbour. Now I know some things to ask.

Willie, looks like a awesome setup and how I prefer my beef too. Grass fed, grain finished. Mmmmmmm.

 

[sotc]

Haha, I sell 3. The Thanksgiving is just what I get for my crew and some extras I get for the schools that make baskets for poor kids. It's all fun.

Rifle. Old Joe is patient, hits them perfectly. All 4 hooves come clear off the ground instantly.
