My son in law is rancher. I just put 250 lbs of beef in my freezer Nd inTe that much at least last year. So 10 percent of that is 25 lbs of meat a year. Joe assumes we only eat 40 lbs of beef a year.
As stated there are a lot of variables. Last one I sold it ended up being in the $4.25/lb neighbor hood for the customer after buying the steer from me and after their butcher fees. Pricey for burger and dirt cheap for steaks!
I haven’t bought meat in a store for 15 years or better. These clowns can make whatever “rules” they want. I’m not playing. Beef, deer, and pork all in my freezer and all done myself. Beef gets packaged by a butcher, everything else I do at home.
Get good knives and buy the "primals" (primal cuts). Very good knives for not a lot of money is the Victorinox Fibrox line. I am also very partial to the "Wenger Swibo" knifes. You will need a "Curved Rigid Blade" and a "Boning Knife", for starters.
Learn to sharpen your own knives. A "Work Sharp" is a good start.
Get a freezer. Get butcher paper and/or a vacuum sealer.
Learn Charcuterie/Salumi practices to make your meat go even further.
Shoot for grass fed grass finished as the ideal, for beef. For pork, shoot for "heritage" breeds that were not fed soy and were allowed to walk around in the dirt. For poultry, look for "pastured". You want chickens that scratched the dirt and ate bugs.
And learn to shoot a rifle and a shotgun, and get a hunting license and go get the meat yourself.
The reward of these activities are:
You will have done something good for you and your family.
You will not be a slave waiting to be thrown this week's slop.
You will have learned a real skill. A skill that is a step towards being a more independent person.
You will actually have helped the Earth. You and the Farmer work together for mutual benefit. And all of the "Middle Men" are starved. HOORAY.
Excellent!
Good knives are essential. I struggle with keeping a fine edge, but it takes a lot of practice.
I’m fortunate that I know a person who grew up butchering with his father. Last year we had a Memorial Day hog butcher party and he brought all the big boy equipment. Several families filled their freezers that day. God bless rural America.
Your point about heritage hogs is spot on. Dirt raised heritage hogs are 100x better eating than concrete raised.
I raise grass beef finished with corn for marbling, free range flock of chickens, hunt deer, vegetable garden and can it, and buddy down the road grows dirt raised hogs. I’m a very fortunate person in these aspects.
Glom on to people who know butchery and knife care like white on rice.
Sharpening begins with learning the Work Sharp, for most people. And the next step for most people (in my experience) is learning the value of and proper use of a REAL leather strop. Beyond that you get into weird Zen practices with stones that have been blessed by putting them on the thighs of Thai virgins and all of the rest of that hoo-hah. And to be clear: I do like my hoo-hah. ;)
The corn for marbling is a temptation. It adds so much flavor. But if it comes with the need for an antibiotic shot, then no thank you. And I am herein not being a phaggot hypocrite: I eat it and I love it. I just try to "be best" (heh) and go for grass fed grass finished where I can.
Rural America needs to buck up. Rural America is the only America worth saving. They need to carry themselves with that level of pride. And I say that as a New York City Boy... who learned.
Wranglerstar seems to attract a lot of critics. I think all of those critics need to demonstrate to me/us that their opinion is worth a damn. I like this guy, and whenever people throw rocks at him I am reminded of verses in the Bible about He Who Is Without Sin. As a Garden Variety Sinner, I am able to say that those detractors should kindly fuck off. More Godly people don't get to be as much of an asshole as I can be, here. So I'll do it for them.
He says this one is good. So I trust him. And so I bought it. Have not set it up yet. Am pushing it to you for your consideration, given your comment about the struggle to keep knives sharp.
Also though, "You can Give Peace a Chance, I'll cover you in case it doesn't work out." So that means that, yes, I bought this. But I also have stones and make sure I know how to use them.
I should also add that if you do not speak Italian...
You should fix that!
Heh. OK, I'll stop being a jackwagon... these videos are all available in English too. Just look at his channel and you'll see the English versions.
The salumi/charcuterie that this dude is doing here on this channel is LEGIT. There are many books on Amazon that will teach you a lot of this stuff too.
And I personally also-and-always love the hand motion at the end, when he tastes it and says "spettacolo." Sooooo Italian. Lol. Love it.
Easier said than done. The logistics of running a cattle spread is a dawn-til-dusk job, and sometimes well into the night. Americans used to be able to do this, my own family had farms back in the 1940s and 50s, but those skills and arcane knowledge have been lost. Also, it's land intensive as well as labor intensive. Add onto it the endless regulations and paperwork and licensing and.... well, you get the idea.
Excellent for you and your family. For the other 99.5% of Americans have to buy their beef in stores. I'm a devout omnivore, I'll eat just about anything that doesn't eat me first, and I fear that a looming population and the leftist ideas of diet are going to impact my meat-eating lifestyle. We have a few specialty meat places near me where I can get grass-fed beef, but they are small operations and cannot compete with the likes of Costco, Walmart, Kroger, etc.
I'll never give up my beef! Considering raising chickens for meat as well, a good neighbor and "bartering" keeps me in fresh eggs. I put nearly an acre in garden every year, numerous fruit trees, and at least a quarter of my freezer is wild game. I was just raised this way..
I actually spent a LOT of my younger years hanging/working with my grandparents that lived thru the great depression. A WEALTH of knowledge that I wish everybody could have had the opportunity to glean. I've been very lucky in that respect..
Much better to pay the price to have it processed by a pro. I can butcher a deer and have the meat wrapped and in the freezer in a couple of hours but a cow, or even half of one, would be an all day affair (if you even have the space to do it).
Right, until they decide to confiscate your dinner for the common good. The real answer is to rid ourselves of this dictatorial system and replace it with a more realistic, liberty-minded one. The process of showing the people how bad their ideas are is excruciating. I do agree, however that we need to be more closely acquainted with what goes into their mouths. People are far too trusting of the regulatory agencies, which are so corrupted by the lobbyists for big industry, they've been rendered useless.
I'm actually moving away from Atlanta down to the family farm in South GA. Tons of cows, chickens, and goats. Definitely won't starve when this shit goes sideways.
It was a long time ago. I can't remember how long it lasted but it was 4 -5 months for 2 adults, 2 teens and one kid. To give you an idea of the quantity, a side of beef will fill the bed of a half ton pickup truck. My dad car-pooled with the person who raised about 10-12 steers/year. She sent them to a local slaughterhouse about 40 minutes drive away. The butcher wrapped the meat in white paper, froze it, and put it in cardboard boxes. I would go and pick it up. It filled the truck bed up my dads bright orange Chevy LUV truck . I remember the weather was hot so I would load and race home to get it in the freezer. The freezer was an upright and was the size of the usual refrigerator. I filled it and put the extra in our kitchen freezer. It was the best tasting beef I've ever eaten.
Not only that, but there are people out there who are literally on red meat-only diets because of their physiology (Jordan & Mikhaila Peterson to name two of my favorites). This is dumb af.
We've traded freedom for convenience. Real freedom is true independence and that means we caN survive completely without the system. Most can not. But those skills are attainable.
Muslims get exemptions because they don't eat pork or shellfish, though fish with scales are allowed.
Sorry Jews, you might have to fight your dietary restrictions just cause
Christians, you're fucked.
I have idiopathic anaphylaxis and there are certain foods I can eat with no problem, including beef. Biden can eat shit if he thinks I'm going to stop having beef.
I know muslims who eat pork. Myself, I am better of with plant based diet, I keep animal protein under 5 %. I buy fresh meat at the local butchers shop, for my dog and me. But mostly I eat potatos and vegetables. I have no overweight and I am 60 years old. No drugs, nothing hurts, perfect. It was not always like that. But the change of the diet made the trick.
This is good, stuff like this might actually start waking up the normies who just want to eat their burgers and be left alone and who until now weren’t paying attention to the totalitarian control inching its way into this country. More redpills!
Gaslighting is an insidious form of manipulation and psychological control. Victims of gaslighting are deliberately and systematically fed false information that leads them to question what they know to be true, often about themselves.
They may end up doubting their memory, their perception, and even their sanity. Over time, a gaslighter’s manipulations can grow more complex and potent, making it increasingly difficult for the victim to see the truth.
Will a doctor's note exempt me from eating what I choose? Only time in my religion am I suppose to not eat meat is on Fridays during lent. Just saying.
To be fair, all these headlines about Biden limiting your meat consumption are misleading. He's never said anything about limiting meat. This all comes from a single study that was done by some college in Michigan that proposed the idea. They said if you limited meat to roughly one burger per month, it could cut agricultural emissions by 50%. This is the statistic everyone is repeating without context:
"Americans may have to cut their red meat consumption by a whopping 90 percent and cut their consumption of other animal based foods in half...Gradually making those changes by 2030 could see diet-related greenhouse gas emissions reduced by 50 percent, according to a study by Michigan University's Center for Sustainable Systems...To do that, it would require Americans to only consume about four pounds of red meat per year, or 0.18 ounces per day...It equates to consuming roughly one average sized burger per month."
Interesting enough, the "problem" revolves around cows releasing so much methane (farts & burps) into the atmosphere, however, they had this figured out way back in 2014 by introducing "fart-catching backpacks" for cows:
Finally, why is nobody talking about pork or dairy in all this, since those operations would also need to reduce emissions according to the Green New Deal?
I think the way they push this shit forward is some small leftist organization does a study. Nobody is paying too much attention. Then Fox and the NeoCons find it and amplify it a hundredfold. This makes the right react. The left sees the right reacting and loves it, so they find out what they’re reacting to and decide they agree with THAT. Suddenly a small study no one cared about becomes part of the national dialogue, and once they have that, because they control the media, they are able to push it through politically.
So... I meal prep. I usually do 4 days of food. In that 4 days I'll probably have 3 to 4 lbs of red meat when that's what's on the menu, probably 3 or 4 times a month.
Maybe the Chick-fil-A cow is really president.
Lol at least he wouldn't wear a mask in a zoom meeting!
haa The cow definitely ran a better campaign! :)
????????
?❤?
Hah!!!
Time to buy a farm and grow some cows.
My son in law is rancher. I just put 250 lbs of beef in my freezer Nd inTe that much at least last year. So 10 percent of that is 25 lbs of meat a year. Joe assumes we only eat 40 lbs of beef a year.
How much does it end up costing per pound of edible meat when you buy a half or quarter cow?
As stated there are a lot of variables. Last one I sold it ended up being in the $4.25/lb neighbor hood for the customer after buying the steer from me and after their butcher fees. Pricey for burger and dirt cheap for steaks!

Support the local chains (I.e. Bucee’s in TX, Festival in MN/WI) and especially the mom and pop stores
Yeah but raising g a couple head at a time is easy. You can donit in a small pasture. We would raise a couple every year.

We used to buy a half every year and the hamburger was the best I ever tasted .

I literally eat 1lb minimum meat a day. 365/4 is what, 91.25? They want me eating 1/91.25th the amount i currently eat. YEAH. FUCKING. RIGHT.
I have about 10 years worth of steak and burgers running around my front pasture and no intention to stop..
All of them wearing glasses.
All. Of. Them.
Some of them even two.
And masks. Play them Grateful Fed tunes.
lol
We eat 4lbs a week between my husband and I (we are low carb) plus I cook it for the dogs along with chicken.
4lbs a week for me easy.
Damnit now I'm going to have to go make a ??

This is INSANE! Please explain to me what the hell this has to do with climate change!
Their pretext is that methane (belched by cows, I believe) is a greenhouse gas, and far more effective than CO2.
They ignore the fact that methane decomposes quickly, mostly into water vapor plus equal molecules of CO2.
?????????
Typical Gaslighting.
What exactly is gaslighting?
Gaslighting is an insidious form of manipulation and psychological control. Victims of gaslighting are deliberately and systematically fed false information that leads them to question what they know to be true, often about themselves.
