Butchered some beef

[BigSky56]

butchered a beef a couple of days ago for the ranch and have a beef in the cooler that needs cut & wrapped. Got 2 more to do, waiting on snow to go elk hunting. If no elk I'll just eat angus. danny

You sell Angus tags????

[BigSky56]

OS we call them slow elk. danny

Danny, the wife let's you keep a bandsaw in the kitchen? Looks like you've got a good set up for butchering.

[BenT]

Nice set up. You have a lot of work ahead of you.

[Old Savage]

Danny, I like that - a slow elk tag! The elk I see along the road headed to Mammoth don't look too durn fast.

Nice looking setup Danny.

Wow! what a great butchering set-up. I know it's a sin, but I'm coveting what you have. Wish I had one as well put together. Looks a lot better than working with a hand operated meat saw, a few worn butchering knives and a rickety old table on which to do the hard work.

Oh Danny, You know how to live. . that beef is a sight for sore eyes.nothing does more for a piece of beef than hanging in the cooler.that is a very nice setup with the rail and hooks,it sure makes things alot easier. call Me Mr .

[mikld]

OK Danny, tell us about the hunt. Rifle (lever I'm sure), caliber used (good ole 30-30?), how long was the shot?

Nice set up Danny, got your kindling ready too.

Quite alot of Angus around my parts, some seem real friendly and others are wild! Have to watch some when with the dog which is usually allways!

The meat shop is owned by the ranch owner I just push cows and butcher for him a buddy of mine is a retired meat cutter that comes in and runs the table saw, I use a 22 mag to drop them. I will be working on my own beef next week at his ranch I keep a steer in the fattening corral, looking forward to those porterhouse steaks. That steer in the cooler was 870 lbs hanging weight. Anybody like swisher licker ticker stew . danny

[dr walker]

That hanging meat looks great, but I'll pass on the swisher, licker, ticker stew.

I thought the little black cows that were slightly bigger than a dog were Dexters- my favourite breed.

[m.wun]

How long are you going to age before cut and wrap??

[BigSky56]

Usually 14 days I like mine at 21 days minimum makes it tender. Most people dont understand about aging beef. danny

When We still had hanging beef before cry-o-vac box meat, in the '70's I would take a whole beef rib with the deckel (rib lifter muscle) on and wrap it loosley in butcher paper and hide it in the cooler for three weeks. unwrap it and it would be turning black on the outside. peel the deckel and throw it in the bone can and trim the rest of the rib.in the weeks hanging the beef ages like a fine wine as the enzymes in it work. a whole beef rib weighs about 16lb and We would put it on the rotissery on the grill. We did one for My Parents Anniversary one Year and You needed to get out of the way of the table. aged hanging beef is some fine stuff. .

[BigSky56]

45 I took a tenderloin last year and wrapped it held it for 45 days trimmed the crust off melt in your mouth theres a steakhouse in NYC that ages beef for 75 days.danny
