[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1747007, member: 14585"] Not a deal breaker. Although your terminology leaves a lot to be desired. You say fridge rather than freezer and talk of processing with no mention of any hanging time for the sides of beef in a freezer or cooler before processing. We had a group of West African immigrants butcher a 1300 lb holstein steer at our farm years ago. We provided a skid steer for the carcass to hang from, a flat bed hay rack for a work area and water from a garden hose for washing and cleaning. Crudest and poorest job of butchering I ever saw, including using an axe for sizing. Took them a few hours, including a loud verbal argument over who got the feet and tail. They loaded the hunks and chunks of meat into the back of a couple pickup trucks for a 90 minute drive home to do whatever was the next step in their plan. I do remember one line from a woman in the argument. Everybody wants a foot, the foot is the best part! :) [/QUOTE]
