Like the title says. This is the first time I’ve butchered a beef. This was a wild heifer we never could get caught in a pen. We have one bull fattening out and just going to grind most of this one into burger.
Things learned:
I need a skinning cradle I don’t have to bend over to skin on
I need bigger hooks or chains to hang the meat in the cooler. The current hooks are too small but made them work.
Need a better blade for the saws all. Diablo pruning blades are too thin and don’t cut straight.
Going to let hang for 7 days before starting to grind her up. May let the hind Quarters go longer for steaks.
Guessed live weight @8-9 hundred
