RE: Butchering a Cow with @shalomacres

in #homesteading7 years ago (edited)

Four hours! Imagine trying to do that alone! It takes me long enough to prep a chicken, so I was curious to know what something as big as a cow entailed.

Ironically, although we live in the suburbs surrounded by people, I feel we're quite isolated in regards to having assistance to be able to do this sort of thing. Hubby recently took days to butcher a ram on his own.

Yes it’s funny how you can be surrounded by people and feel isolated. People have a complete disconnect from their food today. Most would never even comprehend butchering/raising their own food.
The four hours was just disassembling the steer into cuts of meat. Not having it all ready for the freezer.
