Beef Processing and Meat I.D. Contest

Well, here it is. Another post. Here's what we've done lately, Kaliste!

First of all, this is a decidedly agrarian process. As is quite obvious.

Introducing...Ribeye!

Well, a quarter of him.

Looks like he's still putting up a good fight!

He's becoming more manageable.

The meat saw was great.

Hungry anyone?

The tallow, which we saved for some reason other than to spoil in our freezer (though I am still uncertain as to what that reason is).








What would you call this?
















I call this a meat tenderizer.
Grinding beef.












Finished products.
















---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Contest Time!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sorry. Bradshaws and Wiggins are disqualified for having already done it.

What is this?

As for today, 11-20-2006, we had some good flurries! Exciting!

  9. Believe me Laura, I'd be up there in a heartbeat (and not because of the world's best steaks), but it's really not that easy...
