      The hump is better if you cooked steamed for long time (3 hours) because it has a lot of collagenous, in Brazil is called Cupim and they cooked a lot because they raise mostly Asian breeds, here in Mexico we cook the hump as said steamed, great video, greetings from Mexico

      Back in the early 1940's I learned home kills by my granddad, from scalding pigs, legging sheep and goats to siding in a steer. I recall we did a young pony for a friend that had a broken leg. Our UK Food Standard Agency stopped it all in 2013, all private animals had to be slaughtered in a slaughter house.

    Butchering isn't easy work by no means. But I can tell anyone for a fact, true appreciation where ones food comes from is directly related to harvesting it by ones own self. I butcher my animals and harvest my vegetables. I have 100% appreciation for where my food comes from. So many don't understand this way of life anymore, but fact is 150 years ago more folk lived like this than not! Much more sustainable way to live than to rely on a half broken food supply chain! Great job, good to see others doing more for themselves as well!

  • @loisblais3431

    This is exactly how we harvested our own beef. Great memories of skinning, and learning the internal anatomy of a cow. As kids, we played drums on the stomachs lol. We learned where all the different meat cuts are from. Fascinating. This skill is almost a lost art. Thank you for sharing this procedure with us. Brought back my memories as a little girl growing up on the farm. Yes, I am a carnivore.

    Back in the 70s there was a grocery store called pantry pride in Jacksonville Florida And they would slaughter the cow just exactly the same way you did in this video and they get huge windows that you can watch the whole process while you shop for groceries all the kids in the neighborhood would watch every weekend is it done it. That was a normal thing back in them days. This was a very educational video.

    We butchered our own meat - veal calves, pigs, etc. One day nobody could find my Uncle Joe. He was cornered by a bull in the barn for two hours! We'd have a Bull run behind the cows and I was told, Don't go in the barn! So you know you have to peek 😂 That Bull scared the life out of me! I thought he was going to bust through that wood and I'd run - but then I'd go back and peek three more times only to he scared to death every time 😅

    The kicking, etc., is an involuntary response. Even pet animals euthanized at the vet will kick and move, this is why vets will administer a paralyzing drug first, so this involuntary response is prevented so the procedure is less distressing to the pet owner.

      It honestly didn’t look like it would be tender as a steak…… so I’ll do it whole. Probably like brisket.

    Whats the temperature. I noticed a good breeze so flys weren't an issue but i see everyone in short sleeves. I myself have slaughtered and processed large steers up into temps of 55° degrees but was in a rush. So i cold get them in the cool room. Even saw my grandpaw do one at temp of 70° degrees. Just basic quarters and hang it in cool room. For 10 to 15 days before he started processing 1 quarter one day then another the next or a week later. I remember once we slaughtered a 400 lb steer so fadt that the entire animal was on a spit over a fire and cooked within 10 hours for a family reunion. When i say ober a fire i mean mostly coals ive never done that myself but then again those ole timers knew a heck of a lot more than we do now on surviving. I was young enough to ask grandpaw if it was too hot to butcher and he said son we didn't have refrigerators and freezers when i was a kid.and when there was a need for meat you did what you had to do. And then he rambled on about pioneers. Lol.he said do you think they j6st stayed hungry waiting for a cool day or do think the eat meat when they wanted meat. Sure its better and great to do it in the wintet.that it gave you a slower pace to work and a longer time not to worry about spoilage. He always had knowledge. I asked him one time when best time to castrate a hog. His simple answer whenever your knife is sharp. And slap a little pine tar on the cut. Haha. I still only do that in cold weather

    Growing up we were not allowed to give a name to the feeder animals. Most of the time we ended up naming them anyway. I learned at a young age not to get attached.
