  • We head to Bayco Meat Processing in Seymour, TX to pick up our Beef. We share exactly what cuts of meat we received, how many of each kind, total weight, and butcher cost. This was our very first steer off our farm that we have butchered and were very pleased with the results. Watch our whole JOURNEY with our STEER "Houdini" 👇

    My wife and I started buying a half beef every year about 20 years ago. Helped a LOT when our kids were younger. Cost WAY less than grocery store, mass produced beef AND it tastes SO much better!

    I like the tongue, liver, heart, and kidneys too. Oxtail for oxtail soup too. You can simmer and peel the tongue, then treat it like a pot roast. It will be one of the best cuts of meat you've ever eaten.

    Wow, what an amazing video. I have been trying to come across one like this, being as I’m looking to start selling beef retail. Just out of a little meat shop, and local delivery.
    I love that you based your cow off of a 1,000 lb steer. My question is, when you say package, is that one cut per package? As in, 16 packages of ribeyes, = 16 ribeyes off this one cow? Thank you so much for a response. God bless you as well.

    • @redriverliving
      @redriverliving  11 місяців тому +1

      Thank you for your feedback and for watching. All the steaks are two per package, for example, 16 ribeye packages = 32 ribeyes.

      @@redriverliving so 52 chicken fry steaks off one cow, at 1,000 live weight? Wow.
      I also noticed that you kept the cuts simple. You have just the popular cuts, then the roast, and rest ground beef.
      Question.. all those other cuts, for example, seven steak, tri tip, flank, etc. Did you just grind it all in with the ground beef?
      If you did, how drastically did it improve the meat quality of the ground beef?
      I want to have a high quality tasting ground beef, becuase I’m going to have a lot of it to sell it looks like lol.
      So I’m basically wanting to avoid trying to figure out how to sell all those individual cuts, and keep it Ribeye, NY Strip, Fillet minion, Top Sirloin, and Sirloin. Then have the roast’s, brisket, and the rest ground beef.

    Good video! If I were to process an animal I would want very little hamburger and more roasts. Roasts are over $12 a pound. I can find hamburger for $5-$7 a pound. I would also want some beef bone for Pho broth and roasted bone marrow. I getting hungry...lol

      $2 per lbs. processing plus ~$3,500/330 = about $12 a pound. Not bad for super high quality beef.

      @@redriverliving All ideas welcome then! Everything from sausage casings to tongue,. Because the focus got shifted to steaks, the richest meats, liver, heart and kidneys, tend to be forgotten about! Tripe, brains, sweetbreads, even haggis casings (I'm being euphemistic, of course!). The skull, stewed, makes fine stock.
