Thank you so We just finished our cut sheet for a half.. We did not raise it but, we are paying $3.00# strait up... We had a poor year hunting in 2020. We usually rely on venison also, thanks again, and am so glad you found your heart and tongue..

Great video! I always say I'm going to record everything that comes off an animal when we butcher and then I'm usually tired from butchering and just throw it in the freezer lol. How old was t-bone? Was he totally grass fed? Do you know what hanging weight includes in Canada? I ask because we usually butcher our Herefords at 2 years and they do get grain twice a day in addition to free choice hay and/or grass. We do our own now and don't usually bother weighing but when we brought them to be butchered our hanging weight was usually around 800-900lbs.

Tbone was 18 months old and he was grain finished. Hanging weight is half the carcass, what goes on to the butcher

Right, I am sensitive to the protein in beef, but not venison. I can’t explain it, that’s just what the test says! And my body. When I eat beef, I usually get a headache within 1-2 hours. After venison, I do not.

What about liver, hanger steak, skirt steak, osso bucco shank cuts ....? We value in those as well. Good video.

We don't love liver, skirt steak and hanger steak I forgot to ask for so they went into the grind pile...whoops. Next time I'll remember! This was the first time we've had a butcher do a cow for us, we've always done them ourselves

Wow, that's expensive! What a difference price wise on opposite ends of the country- I am paying 3.60lb (hanging weight, includes wrap and cut fees)CAD on the east coast of Canada this weekend - picking up our 1/2 cow tomorrow.

We raise all of our own meat and butcher it all ourselves. If we have excess (usually pork) we sell the animal to our customers who deal with the butcher themselves.
