My wife and I started buying a half beef every year about 20 years ago. Helped a LOT when our kids were younger. Cost WAY less than grocery store, mass produced beef AND it tastes SO much better!

I like the tongue, liver, heart, and kidneys too. Oxtail for oxtail soup too. You can simmer and peel the tongue, then treat it like a pot roast. It will be one of the best cuts of meat you've ever eaten.

Well we don't eat vegetables anymore so it's just meat in our freezer. Thank God I don't have to deal with vegetables and potatoes. We eat a Lion diet meat and water period. At 72 I've Never felt better in my life.

Yep!! Exactly! That would be one HELL of a hit to lose all that to a power failure!! Where I live, if the wind gets up, the power is going! A storm, its guaranteed to go out. Can be out a few minutes to a few hours or longer, just depends. Luckily the longest I ever remember being out was 4 days. Back in the 90s when we had a big ice storm.

@@missys199 Our power was out for 10 days after Hurricane Sandy. We had to throw away all of our refrigerated items after the first 3 days. We kept packing the fridge and freezer with ice bags but when the ice melted we were unable to salvage what food was left over. After that happened, we never have more than a few weeks worth of food in the fridge.

@@rocker76m88 Sucks so BAD to lose food!! Especially as expensive as it is in today's world. I spent 2 months in the hospital around this time last year and during that time my refrigerator quit!! Not the freezer part thankfully, but the refrigerator. I lost everything. Due to basically living in a field and having issues with mice, I put everything in the fridge. All my dry foods. Lost ALL of it because it molded!! Nothing was safe. I cried. I'm not going to lie. I actually cried. I went hungry many many days!!

Wow, what an amazing video. I have been trying to come across one like this, being as I’m looking to start selling beef retail. Just out of a little meat shop, and local delivery. I love that you based your cow off of a 1,000 lb steer. My question is, when you say package, is that one cut per package? As in, 16 packages of ribeyes, = 16 ribeyes off this one cow? Thank you so much for a response. God bless you as well.

@@redriverliving so 52 chicken fry steaks off one cow, at 1,000 live weight? Wow. I also noticed that you kept the cuts simple. You have just the popular cuts, then the roast, and rest ground beef. Question.. all those other cuts, for example, seven steak, tri tip, flank, etc. Did you just grind it all in with the ground beef? If you did, how drastically did it improve the meat quality of the ground beef? I want to have a high quality tasting ground beef, becuase I’m going to have a lot of it to sell it looks like lol. So I’m basically wanting to avoid trying to figure out how to sell all those individual cuts, and keep it Ribeye, NY Strip, Fillet minion, Top Sirloin, and Sirloin. Then have the roast’s, brisket, and the rest ground beef.

Good video! If I were to process an animal I would want very little hamburger and more roasts. Roasts are over $12 a pound. I can find hamburger for $5-$7 a pound. I would also want some beef bone for Pho broth and roasted bone marrow. I getting hungry...lol

Can you customise the thickness of the cuts? Sirloin steak looks a bit on the thin side.

$2 per lbs. processing plus ~$3,500/330 = about $12 a pound. Not bad for super high quality beef.
