Good morning nostr! Time for coffee on this Wednesday morning, and for making a rough plan for the day. Last night my husband and I decided to grind up some of the venison that he harvested this season. We usually end up grinding alot of it into burger, and add some brisket for fat. But with our half-cow order this year I asked for some fat, so I want to try adding that instead. We'll see how that works. Anyway, yall have a great day nostr friends, and remember that today is a gift. #coffeechain #grownostr #countrylife #homesteading

GM crush it today

Good morning. Do you make sausage with the venison?

Sometimes we make pan sausage, but after eating the dried sausage sticks yesterday, I now want to see what kind of equipment I would need to make those.

Good morning self sufficient ones β™‘

Good morning!

Are you getting the half cow already butchered? I know that's the norm but am curious about getting large cut and trying to butcher our own cuts.

For a while this summer we picked up several buckets of butcher "garbage" to feed to our soldier flies for chicken food (not a success, but we learned some lessons, and I'll try again next year with modifications). I was surprised at how much good fat and organs were in there.

Yes it was already cut, but Hometown Meat Mkt is really good about sitting down with you and explaining the different cuts, and encourages people to try different cuts and organs. We asked for all the organ meats, plus fat.
