- I ordered another whole beef from from Big Mo Cattle of Dixie, GA, and picked it up day at Johnston's Meat Packing of Monticello, FL, and I thought I'd show you what to expect when picking up a whole beef from the processor. Check it out.

MY OVERALL SUMMARY
I made these videos to document my experience eating the “The Lion Diet”, a strict version of the Carnivore diet that only allows for ruminant meat, salt, and water. I am not a nutrition expert or doctor, but I hope you will find my story enjoyable and informational, as well as the other content I create.

Picking up a whole cow is the most impressive deadlift ever.😇
😄
🥳
@@FerrignoFreedomAnd how long will that last?
@@aj-nyfor me personally I count in about 1kg/ 2.2 pounds of meat per day. Depending on the amount of fat and cut. I'm 46yo, 1,93m 98kg / 6'4" and 216 pounds. 1 year on carnivore. Greetings from Germany
This is like carnivore Christmas
Up in there Nature coast of Florida we have a new Butcher, Its Central Florida Beef in Brookesville FL. They have many options for purchasing whole, half or quarter cows. What I really like is; I personally buy a 1/2 cow for myself but you can do it monthly. So every month I go there and get my 1/12th of a cow, frozen and vacuum sealed. Breaks down to about $9.00 lb.
I also like that they actually grow the cattle grass fed and grain finished then they take it to Frostproof Florida to have it processed and then back to their shop.
Now this is the type of UNBOXING video I wanna watch !!! hahaha
Me too!!! I really enjoyed watching😊
I get my 1/4 cow delivered next Tuesday. Yay!!
I raise my own cows. My total cost came to $4 per pound for my last steer we had butchered
This is the best carnivore haul I have watched. Thanks for posting♥️♥️♥️
Your next purchase should be a dual fuel generator you can run off propane power goes out you got more money in that cooler than it would cost for a generator.
Years ago, my dad bought a half bison, and his wife left the freezer door open. Not happy happy joy joy. Plus for some reason I had to do most of the cleaning. I now have thermometers that will text/email you when the temp hits your settings.
My freezer has an alarm it goes off when the temperature drops below a certain level.
@@justing6594awesome!!!
@@justing6594you mean goes away a certain level
Alarms only matter if you are home to hear them and have somewhere to put all of your frozen food to save it. Hence the generator
Great fun video. Thanks for taking the time to film it. 😊
Here in Colorado, I check the wild game processing places. If someone didn't pick up their deer or elk, you can buy it. I just picked up 100 pounds of elk for $300. Gonna stuff my face until I have the meat sweats!!!!
No way! That’s awesome 👏
Damn. Good deal
Yum 😋
Lmao 😂😂
I found 3 processors in georgia that do the same thing with venison. Managed to get at least 3 deer each year for $40-$50 per deer.
HOLD UP. I’m near Monticello. I need to pull up here and get a cow as well. YESSSIIIIRRRR. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS SIR!!!
Thanks Dante that was interesting to see and hear about.
Glad to see you buy really quality healthy beef. Glad you are educating people on how to buy a whole cow and how important it is to eat healthy meat. I never buy grocery store or eat any meat out. Upon analysis of a McDonald's hamburger, it contained over 1000 different DNAs. From what I understand 2 or3 are average DNA coming from a butcher. When you buy a whole cow there should only be one DNA. Good info on what it should cost. Looks like you got a great deal on your beef.
Our whole family looks forward to our cow delivery every year.
Thanks! That answered a whole lot of questions I had about buying a whole/half cow. Enjoy!
What a well-deserved blessing.
Deja vu. That's exactly what I go through every six months.
You got thru one cow every 6 months? How many people does a cow feed for 6 months? I'm a single guy and I'm trying to calculate how far into the apocalypse I will survive without a grocery store and one cow in the freezer.
@@NotAffiliated I order half a share every six months (that's the limit of my freezer). One full share feeds me for a year at two lbs a day.
I usually get a half and then split it with my DIL. Well going carnivore that isn't going to work now. We're getting a whole cow this time and splitting it. We have to bring coolers and load everything ourselves. Don't mind that so much. I can check off the checklist as we pack up and make sure we got everything.
Whoa, that would all be hard to visualize without seeing a video on it, thanks!
That's where I shop!!😊
I just had a half a cow delivered last week! I love it! I should’ve gotten a whole cow
I'm really impressed by 2 things. 1) the size of your freezer and 2) the thickness of the steaks. Did you request 1.5 inch thick cut or is that what they do as standard? Thanks for the video!
I requested them
@@FerrignoFreedomDante. I live in your general area. What is the contact info for big mo? Thank you.
Thank you for showing us this step-by-step video and sharing your comments. Appreciate this a lot.
I'm looking into getting a half cow soon. I think hard times are coming soon. So I would like to be stocked up with some meet.
Great content!
Steaks > Cakes
🥩 > 🎂
We drive down to Seville, Fl to our favorite processor once we get our cow fat enough 😂pick up day is my favorite
Not even half way through the video. But this is awesome! I am inspired!
That’s awesome Dante we are paying through the roof prices on meat here in Canada have a good relationship with local farmer and butcher, with our new carbon tax the end consumer pays more here. The farmer raised great beef here and well worth the $. And a good butcher is a must when ordering a whole cow also worth the $.
Fantastic, thanks for sharing!
Good for you, Dante!
I've only ever had room for a half, but I empathize with the excitement of going through it all! I usually wear some leather work gloves to put everything away. Love being able to ask for specific cuts, like kalbi cut ribs instead of the regular "short" ribs. Congrats! Hope the pups get some beef bones to gnaw on...
😁👍
Love this! I see you're out of Dunnellon! I grew up in Crystal River and even lived in Dunn for a bit! Small World! Great info as usual! Amazing to see another Carnivore Thriving!
Thank you so much. Very informative and very appreciated. ❤
Great video! So much valuable information!
A whole cow for me costs more like $4,000 grass fed. Of course I'm in a desert and they have to truck in the hay/grass.
Here in West Virginia you pay $4.00 a lb for the whole cow .
Where exactly in the desert do you live? I've been searching for grass fed and finished beef for years! I live in the Antelope Valley.
Regarding the outside freezer if it is staying empty i would.....
fill soda bottles or similar 2/3 full and freeze them.
Increase the cold mass so not as much hot air can come in when opening and for short power outages there is more of a cold battery.
Great idea thank you Kevin. Makes total sense and is a lot cheaper than those chemical ice packs they sell at the store.
I just find steaks that have been frozen a little less flavorful and a little pasty. I know its cheaper to buy in bulk but it's just not the same as fresh cut steaks. When the water in the meat freezes, the ice crystals pierce the proteins and make for a more mushy texture. But maybe its just me.
😮 wow! That’s awesome Dante! You were like a little kid at Christmas 😂 love suet, it’s so hard to find where I live.
Interesting. Thank you.
thanks for this video
Dude that was a fast drive. You said you were headed home with your big hole and then all the sudden you're at the house. How did you do that? You got some kind of technological upper hand? I'm impressed
It makes me feel.....hungry...
Lol.
That's a good haul! :)
Great 👍 to know, very educational.
My last freezer beef was a split 1/4- we only paid $4.50/pound.
That same beef quality and weight in California is $25-$30.00 per pound. They don't want people buying red meat in California.
That’s disappointing. Hopefully California turns it around. They don’t want to end up like Cuba.
"Fillet! Mmmmm!!" hahaha
Great video 🎉👏💪🥩❤️
Wow. Thats a lot of beef. I usually get 1/4 at a time. Too nervous to do more with electricity going out. Our cost here for grass fed finished, local and regenerative black angus is about same as you at $10/lb. The farmers boys deliver it to me.
Just like a kid by the tree on Christmas morning. You lucky guy. I live outside the USA and can’t get my beef like this.
That’s an excellent price!
That memory card was probably vegan… LOL! 😂
Great video, just found your channel. Have you done any videos on how you make these beef chips or crisps you mentioned.
11:00 I sincerely hope that is a light up *bong* on top of your refrigerator, instead of what I suspect it is.
Im afraid to buy a whole cow in lower Michigan because farmers were given bio solids to fertilize their field and now they are shutting some down due to PFAS in the soil a d in the meat 😢
I seen a video on Michigan farms. That's sad man. All that land is ruined and generational family's are loosing there farms. That company needs to be sued and shut down.
It's worth researching to find the best a person can afford, then driving to get it imho. Man, that nonsense makes me angry~ absolutely ridiculous, & such a waste on every level.
Here in Texas the same, south of Fort Worth
❤wow wow wow I'm so jealous rn lol😅
I need a garage freezer.
Vegans must love you
Unfortunately even though it’s grass fed, which the meat actually tastes like fresh grass clippings if it’s grass fed and finished.. that’s a crazy price for probably more than 200lbs for warrior hamburger.. love my ribeye, but burger at 10.27usd /lb and cheap sirloin and round roast ouch.. way better just to buy your ribeye steaks on sale
If you want our ranchers and the meat industry to survive, you buy ALL the cow parts. Cherry picking ribeyes is not sustainable. There simply aren’t that many on a cow. Buying 1/2 or whole cow is part of being a conscientious consumer. Supporting small, wholesome agriculture, which is going to disappear if we carnivores don’t get on the bandwagon. So nice to buy the 1/2 cow and get bones, organs, suet, fat trimmings etc. ground beef is lays going to be a substantial part of any cow processing so as to use ALL of the cow.
I had two of our beasts killed and processed at the beginning of last year. It’s lovely having plenty of meat. I added three sheep to my freezer this year. Nice to have some variety.
I just go to the commissary at ft jackson and get what i need for the week. Its all grass fed. Corn is too expensive plus people were scared fatty meat was going to unalive them just like the chyna virus was supposed to.
I wish I could afford half of one. It’s wonderful
How about some horns 🐮 as a hood ornament?
Congratulations Dante!!! 🐮 moo
PS I grew up in rural Michigan, six brothers and sisters and my parents had a standing freezer like this. They kept us fed by buying whole cows. 🐮🐮🐮
YEAH!
Do they slaughter and butcher right on their own site? Also, I sure hope you have a backup generator that's a lot of meat to lose to a power outage.
I was thinking the same thing. 😂
I do have a back up generator.
NC here...in the 90s we had hurricanes Bertha then Fran direct hits both . The first one I lost power for 6 days at my rural location. Before my nearly full upright freezer went bad I went to a friend's in town ( of co7rse the town had power loss for a day only) and cooked for two days... refreezing everything. Big pots of BBQ made from whole sirloin tips, I seasoned and browned all the burger...came in real handy when Fran came around a few months later. Of course I wasn't carnivore then but I was a single mom of 2 boys and didn't lose a thing. Now with the lard and canning jars I have I'd do much better. ❤
Thanks for something different was getting a bit bored with the video commentary, The way you can move around is nothing but amazing compared to someone of your age 20 years ago eating all the fake poison food.Keep it up!
One issue with this trend i never see addressed is that the more these specialty sales take off, it leaves the regular joe at the supermarket with ever increasing prices and reduced supply and quality. We already export a lot of higher quality meat and import lower quality. We've raised cattle in the same place and the same way since before the civil war. We sell at the same auction as we did over 100 years ago. I just kind of hate the mess its all become. The other day i was at the grocery store and the butcher was putting out tongue. $35! Most tongue goes to korea and other countries because they will pay the higher price and we have become too prissy to eat such things. Margins for ranchers are tiny, even though prices are high, so I understand taking different routes, but the inevitable result is that decent beef is quickly becoming something only the "haves" can consume.
Now I’m hungry 🤤 😅
😄
I'm curious to know how long it will last.
Fantastic videos what brand are the shoes you are wearing they look cool 😎
Vibrams.
I bet you have a dependable generator!🎉
Nice
I make and use suet for tallow we use it in everything
Do you mind sharing how you make your tallow? I'd like to try. Ty.
Wow, what's the cubic feet freezer you have cause looks like I'll need to go bigger :)
15.7 cu.ft.
Holy smokes ! I’m gonna need a bigger freezer .
Also, I would take a ribeye over a fillet any day, not enough fat in those for me.
Our side of beef is ready in two more weeks
@FerrignoFreedom Do you know the live weight and or age of the animal? I'm sorry if you said it and I missed it.
Just out of sheer curiosity, how much meat do you average eating each day? I think that my consumption is on the scale of about 1/4 to maybe 1/3 lbs of beef per day with four whole eggs on my OMAD diet. That's still very affordable at $10 per lbs. Especially for such quality!
Eat Meat T-Shirt ? Where do you get them from Please ?
It’s disappointing that buying a half cow where I live(New England) is significantly more expensive than just buying meat from grocery store. Would love to support local farms but can’t afford their pricing. Most are between $11-15/lb when it’s all said and done
Higher costs of living there
How does the warrior burger taste?
Great video, audio took a bit of a dive.
Does anyone remember the Lucy Show where she ordered a whole beef? Still laughing after all these years...
Wow 🎉
What size chest do you have? Wondering what size would be needed for a whole cow
How do you cut out frosen tallow/SUet?
Do they ever throw in the beef fat trimmings? Asking because if I buy one I want to know if I will have enough fat. New to carnivore for a week now😊
Sure enough, at least in my experience. You let them know you want the suet/trimmings, as well as bones & organ meats as well if you so choose.
*Another tip is I wait until our local store has a sale on ribeye, t-bone orvNY strip, then go back & ask the meat dept to save me fat trimmings, 10lbs at a time. They do charge for it, but only .50 cents a lb.
Is there a website for big mo to order from , I can’t seem to locate one. Any info would be so appreciated. Ty sir
I live near Dante and am hoping he posts how to get with big mo.
Hi. So, if you’re not getting 40% of the carcass weight, what’s missing? Would that be the guts, extra bones, etc.? I also wonder how many meals you get out of that? I read that one cow can be a thousand meals, but that feels high to me. I also see one pig equals 300 meals - again, that feels high.
Thanks for your channel!
The 40% would be the hide,head,guts,bones,feet etc. Also, he's on loin diet and probably eats 2lbs of meat a day, do the math.
Wow that's a reasonable price for that much meat
hope you have a backup generator...
💯
Died and gone to Beef Heaven🌈🥩🌤️
How long does this last?
How long does it take to eat 409lb of meat? Sorry if i missed that part
I’ve never specifically tried to gauge that because it’s usually a mixture of meat from various sources over that relatively long period of time (whatever that may be), and there are 5 other people eating food in this house and they occasionally have some of this meat; some have more that others. Since I typically seem to eat about 2 lbs of meat a day though, I would say about 204.5 days.
@@FerrignoFreedom thank you for your reply and for all your efforts to help us all out. Your content is very valuable. God bless you
It's Christmas!
I didn't see any turkeys just beef
Hope you got a generator incase power goes out
What size freezer do you need for a whole cow?
He said his was 15 cubic feet in the video
So I have so many questions but your price at the bottom of the receipt is that just for the processing or is that including the cow itself I did a quarter cow with some friends and it was way more expensive than this
He explained in the video that he paid big money $3780 for the cow and the $873.20 was for slaughter, processing, and the freezer boxes
$5 for a cardboard box is a ripoff.
💯
@@FerrignoFreedomat that price ya could build your own matching sized boxes made out of TEAK or Cedar or whatever a butcher block is? Linseed oil?
And drop off ahead of time . . . Or swap at the site?
@@FerrignoFreedom I have read a lot of articles about how BPA and other forever chemicals from the ADHESIVE on the stickers placed on plastic packages is transferred THROUGH the plastic into the food/meat/vegetables/fruit inside the plastic ... Any thoughts or specific research or solutions on this? --as it applies to buying frozen beef as you do?
I'd contact a local cardboard manufacturer. Ask their sales dept for your price on a die cut handled box that with separate lid of that board weight. You'll find it's likely a pretty good deal for an item you can reuse
how long will meat last in freezer i know its dumb question just curious.
Years if its sealed properly. I've had deer meat sealed with freezer paper and tape last up to 4 years myself. These days I don't let it wait that long though.
Where can i get a Bison?
Dante how many pounds of meat in your 15.7 cubic foot chest freezer ? Thank you 😊
Not sure. Based on this last haul around 500 lbs.
