We butchered a fat str yesterday. Sorry didn't get pics. Our butcher does on the farm processing then takes the quarters to their shop.
To avoid getting in with some protective mommas and new babies the butcher had to walk down an alley and shoot around a corner of the confinement. WHOA! he's big, was what I heard when he first saw the str. The str weighed around that 1,425 mark, not huge just nice. As we were walking back to the truck to start butchering,I was kidding him "What they don't ALL look that good?" I got a strange look and a firm NO.
He said they did some the day before that weighed 500lbs hanging.
The whole idea of butchering is to have something better than the selects at the grocery store.
we butchered 2, spent couple hours talking while they worked. The whole time they had stories about what some people think is Prime beef.
