    First processed beef questions

    Yes I was referring to the harder outside fat. Some was left on the meat that in my mind could have been trimmed off. I realize that deer are lean but the last few I shot had a LOT of tallow fat on them. I trimmed it all off as I processed them myself and figured that they would trim my beef the...

    First processed beef questions

    Thanks for all the replies. We only got a quarter of the last beef (which is still a lot of meat). We actually have another steer we are quarters in with different people that we are processing in September. It is a Jersey and we are allowing on grass as well as grain daily. I will pull him off...

    Guys and gals, I’m new here and am new to cattle. I have a lengthy post and hope to clear up some issues I’m having. We just bought two cows this past year with several other people to split for meat. One is a Jersey steer that is about 9 mos old and filling out well. Probably send him to the...
