    Thank you so We just finished our cut sheet for a half.. We did not raise it but, we are paying $3.00# strait up... We had a poor year hunting in 2020. We usually rely on venison also, thanks again, and am so glad you found your heart and tongue..

      Right, I am sensitive to the protein in beef, but not venison. I can’t explain it, that’s just what the test says! And my body. When I eat beef, I usually get a headache within 1-2 hours. After venison, I do not.

    Wow, that's expensive! What a difference price wise on opposite ends of the country- I am paying 3.60lb (hanging weight, includes wrap and cut fees)CAD on the east coast of Canada this weekend - picking up our 1/2 cow tomorrow.

    Great video! I always say I'm going to record everything that comes off an animal when we butcher and then I'm usually tired from butchering and just throw it in the freezer lol. How old was t-bone? Was he totally grass fed? Do you know what hanging weight includes in Canada? I ask because we usually butcher our Herefords at 2 years and they do get grain twice a day in addition to free choice hay and/or grass. We do our own now and don't usually bother weighing but when we brought them to be butchered our hanging weight was usually around 800-900lbs.

    • @VenisonforDinner
      @VenisonforDinner  4 роки тому +2

      Tbone was 18 months old and he was grain finished. Hanging weight is half the carcass, what goes on to the butcher

    Just put an order in for half a cow from a local farm here in TX. Gonna cost me $1700 on delivery. Of course, this is 2022 in the middle of a massive inflation here in the US. Still less money than hoping the local grocery has anything in stock.

    Butcherers always seem to take/steal the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, tail and tongue if you don't Specifically request it. I've had butcher's still keep my heart, lungs and kidneys even after I requested it I guess because it makes good eats.

      They probably think no one will miss them because most people aren't interested in them. Then sell those parts on the side. I personally don't want those parts, however, I don't want to be charged for them either.

    So you raise meat to sell... to buy. I'm confused. You raise the cows and sell then you buy from a bulk butcher? I get that.

    • @VenisonforDinner
      @VenisonforDinner  2 роки тому

      We raise all of our own meat and butcher it all ourselves. If we have excess (usually pork) we sell the animal to our customers who deal with the butcher themselves.
