Y'all missed out on some good meat! Thanks Fur.

Thanks man. I'm glad you like it. I laid out some burger and a ribeye to check it out tomorrow. You surprised me cooking some for lunch. LOL Yeah, they did miss out. I'm estimating you've got around $4 per pound in the meat. That's everything from burger to ribeyes and Tbones.



To this:



And there's another 150 lbs of burger and 30 lbs of steaks in a chest freezer in the canning kitchen at the barn.

That's a lot of beef right there.

Fur, if that was my upright freezer I’d be checking that thing EVERY DAY to make sure it was still running!

So fur, that’s only 1/2 of the cow? I guess I didn’t realized how
Much meat that actually was

Nice looking full fridge there fur 👍

He’s gonna gain that 100# back if he eats all that before it goes bad

Thanks Fur. I'm going to try mine out tomorrow.

A lot of farms are going to direct sales at the farm. As long as processed in a USDA facility and sold frozen the farm can sell direct

LOL. Ain't nothing but a whole lot of Keto in that freezer.

I kept a whole one, but that's not a whole beef in that freezer. It wouldn't all fit. There's around 175 lbs of burger in a freezer in my moms canning kitchen at the barn, and at least 40 steaks in their freezer in their house. Also, if these steers hadn't been as big as they were, it wouldn't have been that much meat. The hanging weight of the 2 carcasses was 980 and 1040 lbs. That's just meat and bone. I'll never do any more that big. It's just how it worked out this time. I had to buy these steers and since I was doing grass fed/grass finished I had specific steers in mind. I have a customer that runs around 3500 head of calves in their feedlot. I told them I wanted 2, Black 1000 lb steers that had never had any feed. That's not easy to find, but they did find me 2. One was a purebred Angus and was a much better steer than the other one. Since I sold one and kept one, klay and dquick got the best one of the two. When I was a kid we showed steers, and I've been around cattle all my life. That steer that they got is the best looking animal I've ever seen. I sure did want to keep him and my son who finished 2nd in the state at livestock judging in 2017 told me I was crazy for not keeping it, but I explained to him why them getting it, instead of us keeping it was the right thing to do. So not only did we get a freezer full of meat, I got to teach my son a good life lesson as well. LOL

I checked it twice last night. I'm ordering a freezer alarm today.

This is the first grass fed steak I’ve ever had. I gotta say I really like it. Much more flavor than grain fed. It is, as expected tougher than grain fed but it’s not as tough as many grocery store steaks I’ve had. I gotta give it two thumbs up. Pro tip, don’t run any mayonnaise on it. Just marinate in lemon juice, Lea and Perkins Worcestershire and Montreal steak seasoning Another pro tip: I'm not good at cooking steaks in cast iron. I haven't tried it often. That one was overdone.

Looks good Fur, cant wait till we get our slaughtered this fall. We have been doing grain but I thought about letting him out into a small patch of grass as well.

That's a fine looking freezer Fur. Do you know what the live weight was on the steers?

I didn’t even ask.

I have a half grass fed coming mid July. I have a 7cu ft freezer in the basement, and the freezer section of a fridge/freezer as well. I hope it all fits!

It won’t.
