“ the more bone-in cuts you get, the more meat you take home”. I would say that is incorrect. The more bone-in cuts, the more WEIGHT you take home. The extra weight is bone, not meat.
Excellent video.
Thank you , this gives people what to expect when buying a beef.
What useful and valuable information!!!
Thank you
Such great content. And he didn’t even push for a subscribe and like! So, of course, I had to do so immediately… Nice guy, too. I wish I lived closer
Thanks, Great video and info.
Thank you :)
Great job. I really understood
Thank you for the feed back!
Great job! Really useful information. Coming from a family of butchers, I do my own hogs, sheep and poultry. Never had a cow, so just shopped at the stores. If I ever found someone honest like you guys to do a beef, I would ask for everything except the moo. Love all those cuts of beef and the bones that the modern average American doesn't understand. Can one ask for the head and how would you process it?
we do keep the head for folks who want it. Honestly I am not sure how they cook it. I think sometimes they just cook it down in a big pot.
I'm glad you chose to weigh out this guy's beef so we know how to get the most for our money. If we want the extra fat for tallow and bones for bone broth, is the cost the same?
Good question
Very very good video
Great information and well presented
Glad you liked it
Wished I lived closer so I could get some.
Maybe you should take a vacation trip to our area :) We have people driving in from as far as Chicago, St Louis, Atlanta, Indianapolis, & one even from NYC.
Me gusta cuando la gente que entiende explica bien las cosas.❤
Thank you!
Wow.. thank you!
Great job sir and will be by next month
Thank you. Looking forward to seeing you then!
Was the cow sold by live weight or hanging weight and how much per lb? Assuming the processing fees were seperate how much were they? Just trying to get an idea of what all that meat finished actually cost.
We sell our beef by the live weight & that price includes the basic processing cost as well. For current price per lb. live weight to do your math please see our website at showalterscountrymeats.com/whole-half-beef/
The website is updated with the current price in our ever shifting economy, so will be more relevant to viewers :)
Wish you guys shipped... looks like you run an honest shop.
Great video but what was the cost
gonna order from you guys inm two days. looking forward to a cow and a piggy.
People please think when you order from a butcher. A good example in this video is customer wants chunks and hunks and then ask what he should do with them. You order ed it they are only doing what you wanted.
Could yall do a video of yields on dairy breeds
Actually, these videos would be a grain-fed HOLSTEIN steer. Dairy breeds can do really well IF they are fed well. Grass fed Holstein is not a good idea. But on LOTS of grain, they do REALLY well... as you can see.
I just took home 450 lbs from 1/2 an angus..... was a big pile of boxes
Where the difference between hanging weight and what you take home diapered? If the hanging weight is 750 lb, this is the weight I would expect to take home.
Do most farmers sell the cows to people live weight? Or hanging weight? And how much $ per pound do they usually sell live weight, and how much $ do they sell per pound usually for hanging weight? Thanks in advance
Live weight is if you process your own of course I need all them saws and a little skill to chopper up yourself
In my experience live weight is most common, but hanging weight is fairly common as well. As for what they are per lb normally, that is tuff to answer because it fluctuates so much. Quality of animal makes a big difference as well. Best thing to stay current is to check live stock market websites.
Apparently a farmer can't sell processed meat to you directly without USDA inspection. SO farmer sells half to you & you pay the butcher to cut your meat. Or like these people they sell all to you I guess.
Less than 3 hrs from me hmmmm guess I would have to bring the big coolers lol
customer doesn't know what a good steak is - ribeye is the best cut on a cow and should never be less than 1" thick...
Wow
:)
So if this guy didn’t want chunks and hunks your ground beef outcome would have been way more than you predicted?
That is correct.
Honest question: The USDA considers bone marrow as a protein based meat "filler" and ground up bone paste is allowed as a "calcium enriched meat filler". Is there anyone else except McDonald's who uses this practice? I've been told by a former insider that McDonald's grinds the bones and adds it back to the meat. McDonald's purchases hundreds of thousands of cows every year and nobody, I repeat NOBODY knows where all those leftover bones go. Somewhere there should be a Grand Canyon full of cow bones, but yet nobody can find any published information as to where all those bones disappear to. So if this really is done why can't you add it to your customers hamburger? If your customer bought a 625 pound side of beef they could take 600 pounds of meat home if they could eat bone hamburger.
I cannot speak for those big companies, but I know that we put the bones into our composting process. Small processors like us don't have any means of extracting bone paste, if bigger companies with fancy machinery can do that, I am not aware one way or the other. I am sorry I cant be of more help. Our bones get composted & then spread on our farm for fertilizer.
@@showaltersmeats4377 bones millions of years old are dug up all the time, I wonder why they never composted?
@@charliesgrumma5388 there could be several reasons.
#1 those bones may not be as old as we are told:) assets.answersingenesis.org/vid/ondemand/new-answers-dvd-1/what-really-happened-to-the-dinosaurs.mp4
#2 composting only occurs under certain conditions. If conditions are right, bones can fossilize. That is how we end up with really old bones that people find in various places
@@showaltersmeats4377 well don't compost any raccoon pecker bones. They're used as a drip follower on moonshine stills.
Why do you call it a beef and not a cow? Thanks for the video
It comes down to linguistic nuance :)
To me "cow" implies an older animal used for milk & reproduction. "Beef" implies a young animal raised for meat purposes. Hope that makes sense.
And what was the total cost for 276 lbs of beef..

We are you Located I'm in GEORGIA
central KY
What if u want all the fat ..... who gets the tail .... what about the head and tongue.... organs etc some ppl prob want all offal plus blood.
You can request us to save the fat, the tail, the head, the tongue. Its what ever the customer wants :)
However we do not have any good way to save the blood.
With 375 lb hanging weight, I would expect to get 375 lb products.
so he paid for alot of bones?
This is my thoughts too.
Been part of bringing home 1/4 or 1/2 beef since I was a kid. Parents taught us to bring home custom cut this way so you get better value for your grocery dollar
no he paid zero for bones. You pay for the hanging weight,or on the hoof weight like these guys do. What you keep is up to you, it does not change the price
Woah! Wait a minute. What happened to the extra 250lbs from that side of beef before the hanging weight?! I want it all the spine, the foot, the fat, the skin😩 if I pay for half beef I WANT HALF BEEF!
I am sure that many of us have lots to learn about resourcefulness :)
When I lived in Africa I enjoyed eating cow hide, but that is not so much of a delicacy for most Americans that I have met so far.
I'm sorry, steak should always be 1-1-1/2" thick to keep it from getting to done and tough!
Dont matter how good you do things someone will complain.
so true!
Someone needs to edit this video because there are meatcutters performing unsanitary acts such as cleaning knives at the end of tables and not wearing gloves .
Good point. We are country boys & have a lot to learn. Thanks for the tips.
I am not sure why you would need to be wearing gloves when cleaning a knife?
As for the a couple of guys not wearing gloves while handling the meat, I'm sure they have washed their hands. And, after wearing a pair of gloves for 5 minutes, you have likely touched somethings and would be considered "contaminated".
Don't be a sally. Cook your meat properly and you will be healthy.
Showalter's, thank you for keeping the local butcher shop alive!!!
@@rogerdoger9939 I am glad you took the time to respond to my comment however you missed the point. I brought up the point that the meatcutters were cleaning their knives on the end of the tables which is an unsanitary act. I think at the very least someone should of edited it out
@@doriandaniel1175 Thank you for clarifying your concerns.
Interesting you feel the edge of the table is less sanitary than where the meat is sitting.
I just bought a quarter of a cow for $300 and got 29 pounds of meat lol, never do this again.
It must have been a very small cow... was it a Dexter beef? (those tend to be very small & pricey)
@@showaltersmeats4377 nothing special, it tastes horrible as well. Never again lol.
You got ripped off
@@jeffbonner9313 yup
Something definitely wrong with that deal.
I paid $740 for about 100lbs. of a mixed quarter.
@1:25 ok his hands are covered but look at them hairy ass arms up against that beef like it ain't no thing. C'mon man invest in full butcher suits lol jk
That is not a side of beef!!! The whole beef dressed would be 2,552!!! That's a 4,000 lb animal. Bullshit. Cutting loss should be about 33 to 37 %!!! Depends on animal
I am not sure what you mean. You are welcome to come and watch us process a beef for further clarity
you didn't actually pay attention to anything on this video did you? They were very clear about it being a 1251 lb animal to which the guy bought HALF OF IT.
No two humans identical…. Every identical twin ever 😒😒
isn't that amazing?
@@showaltersmeats4377IDK why YT is now showing me your comment a year later. I watched the video again since it was suggested to me and don’t remember watching it but I watch thousands of hours of videos. Question: how many or what percent of your customers are repeat? That man sure loves his stew beef
Decent number of return customers on these beef. Quite a few. @@CaptchaNeon
Did I hear that right? Brisket cut in three I don't trust this guy
I realize that is not typical, but this customer asked for that, & since the "customer is always right" we did as he requested
So the guy didn't want to cook a full 18lbs of brisket.
@@rogerdoger9939 impossible to get a 18# brisket from a 1200# carcass!
@@showaltersmeats4377 just be glad you're not in the deer processing business! Some hunters will shoot a whitetail with a 308, the cut sheet will say, shldrs, whole into roast, backstraps sliced half inch, hams sliced half inch, twenty pounds of chili, ten pounds of jerky, an put the remainder into smoked sausage! Well, the two pounds of sausage is gonna look small and they are gonna say, that's not my deer!
@@realist8879 you might be right.
I was just in the local Sam's Club,. There was 1 whole brisket weighing in at over 19lbs. And 3 over 16lbs.
Who knows what the live weight of those animals were.
