    We put two beef in the freezers Saturday. We hung 'em in the cooler a week or so back and started cutting and packaging Saturday morning at 5:30. Ten hours later 1,411 of beef had been cut and/or ground, vacuum sealed and stacked in the freezers of a number of family members. These dressed out at 704 lbs and 711 lbs.

    We've been butchering our own since before my dad was a kid and he was born in 1909, learned from his grandfather and passed it on down to us boys and we have done the same. We usually do three beef a year and as many as 6 to 7 hogs. We did just three hogs this year, but these current two beef totals the tally to the annual number of three as we did the first one on a weekday a few weeks back.

    So no cooking in this post.....but maybe in the future....????

    Btw guys, is it ok or considered gauche to provide a link to ones own youtube channel for a short video on slicing hams and bacon....?? That is, if anyone would be interested anyway....:whistle:

    I'd be tickled to death to PM, but I might need a little direction as to where the PM tab is located. I sure hope you find my meat slicing video worth all this aggravation...LOL.

    Ok. That one worked. But the other one did not.. if you want to see tractorman44 ’s video, go to this one, click on his channel and watch it...

    Maybe Grizzly Adam can help out with posting the intended video...

    Here's his channel below and tractorman44, I added your YouTube link to your home page in your profile. See if you can find it.

    Would also be a good idea to put it in your signature (the section below your posts that are always there for better exposure)
