Don’t forget about the butcher. Slaughtering a 1200lb cow is by no means easy either…

[@ranaedownard-wooden857]

100% hard work from 2am till the work in done late into the night. We came into the house took shower, ate, did homework & went to bed then started all over again. No days off, animals have to be feed 2x aday. Fields have to be watered, crops planted, & harvest. I started working 6yrs old & last time I worked on Family Farm I got married 45yrs ago. I did go home & helped thru out the years. Now retired carrying for 6 Potbelly girls, 5 Nigerian Dwarf Girls Goats & 4 girl dogs & 1 Bearded Dragon (girl) LOL. I still love it.

[@willhorting5317]

Seeing you bring home boxes of beef, reminds me of my youth. During the '70s and very early '80s, my folks would buy a side of beef from a rural town locker (butcher), every couple of months. It was about an 80 mile round trip, from our farm to the locker and back.

When you make the ny strips, all you need is salt fresh ground pepper and a olive oil. Cook on a grill or sear on a cast iron pan. 👌🏼

[@afarmlife]

If you get a chance check out the carcass hanging they usually have a lot of back and belly fat. We typically finish out to about 12-1300 for freezer beef sold direct. It produces a good finish overall which is what you end up having to shoot for. Anything heavier, the fat in the burger is too much, the ribeyes get to fatty as well as your chuck area, the NY strip is amazing on heavier weight. The heavy market is popular now because our US heavyweights get mixed with a lot of mediocre cattle coming from all over. In the end, cutting makes a difference and fat loss on back and belly for us isn't worth the extra time and money. Its all about what works for your operation for sure. We try to shoot for a 85/15 on burger and roast to have enough fat but not to much. If we could get a beef full of steaks we'd feed them longer as well 😂

When he was going thru with the butcher picking it out they were trimming it better. Maybe he wanted the extra fat?

Nice looking ribeye but you have some beautiful beef-did a great job raising them

[@j.j.clingman4083]

I can definitely tell you that raising your own cows to butcher is definitely 220% way better than buying meat from the grocery store for sure!! Plus it’s much cheaper also!!! We have lived on are farm for the past 23 years and built are house back in 2000!! We have a buddy of mine that I went to school with back in the day we have his dad feed out are cow for butchering because it’s easier for us and he will usually feed out 6 or so!! After we had to buy a new freezer for are last butchered cow we figured out that for every pound of meat we got it cost us around 4.00$ a pound and actually just a little less with including the price of the freezer that we had to buy also!!! Heck at 4.00$ a that is cheaper than you can buy hamburger around us even!! But people say or think well 4.00$ a pound isn’t that much cheaper but then you tell them that is for every different cut of meat that we got also!! So even rib eyes, New York steaks, T bones, and for most of that stuff if baught at the grocery store usually cost well over 6.00$ a pound!! Now for next year when we have one butchered and we don’t have to buy a new freezer are meat should cost well under 3.00$ a pound!!! If you can afford to fork out a lump amount at once to buy a cow to butcher it’s definitely worth it for sure!!! Plus you No everything that has been done to it while raising it up and feeding it out also!! We had ares butchered out at just around when it was close to a 1000lbs!!! I definitely encourage others to do the same thing if possible for them!! I will almost guarantee you that if you have never tried it before and you do end up trying it will change your mind about buying meat from the store at all again!!! It’s just about like the chicken eggs that I had told you about!!! Any chicken eggs you buy from the store are guaranteed to be 30 days old or older by the time they even get to the store and stocked on the shelf ready to sell!!! I definitely can’t eat store bought chicken eggs because they tear me up really bad!! After raising chickens for the past 10 years or longer we can get eggs as fresh as being no older than a minute old!!! That is definitely a big difference and those eggs don’t bother me at all and don’t tear me up like store baught eggs do!!! Awesome video and remember to keep up all the hard work you all!!!!

[@brucekmules]

[@tsyrot2000]

That’s was awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

Damn, that freezer full of beef looks nice! Nothing like your own beef in the freezer! I would say that ribeye would grade prime. If not, damn high in choice. Ribeye is my favorite steak. Inch and a half thick. Salt, pepper, on the grill at 450 degrees, four minutes on the first side, flip it and three minutes on the second side, let it rest for 10 minutes. Perfect medium rare. Glass of Merlot. It doesn't get any better! I heard you say chuck roasts. That is my favorite roast. Best flavor out of all the roast cuts. You said you've never had New York strips. That's my second favorite steak. I'm sure you enjoy them. Do you keep short ribs? I love short ribs braised in a tomato and red wine sauce. Season them and brown them then put them in the sauce and in the oven at 300 for about 3.5 to 4 hours. Serve over garlic mashed potatoes. They are heavenly! Those critters must have been finished on a pretty hot ration. There was a lot of fat on those New Yorks! Processing costs a fortune nowadays. Man, they stuck it to you at a buck a patty for those burgers! Holy crap! We've done our own processing for many years. When I was a kid my dad cut it all up by hand, and then had a small grinder for the burger. We have all our own equipment. A band saw, a 1.75 horse grinder, an electric mixer, and commercial vacuum sealer. And we have a big sausage stuffer and a smokehouse for when we butcher pigs and make sausage. I usually pick out a couple open heifers when we PG, and lock them up by themselves and take them up to about 1300 lbs on a ration of cracked corn and rolled barley and all the grass hay they want. We don't have a cooler, so when we slaughter them we take the halfs to a local butcher shop and have them hang them for us 27 days, then we bring it home and do the processing. Then that all gets split between three families and my mom. That's what my mom, my sister and her family and my daughter and her family get for Christmas.... Thanks for sharing your video! Nice to see what other people do! We are up in the top of the country in ND.... oh, one more thing. My dads brand was -6. The ND Stockman's Association wouldn't let me take it over when he passed because it's to easy to alter. That was disappointing. But, my daughter has his irons hanging on the wall with a pair of his old leather gloves, his hat, his belt, and some rusty old barbed wire wrapped around an old diamond willow fence post, hanging on the wall in her living room. Looks pretty darn nice.
