Enjoy that beef, we've ran out and I had to buy some from the grocery store, ughh..I'm thinking of becoming a vegetarian until we can get some fresh from the farm meat!! Stay warm and hopefully V can take you to work while the temps are so low.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-36946018527275668812009-01-15T07:03:00.000-06:002009-01-15T07:03:00.000-06:00Interesting about the meat - I have never really k...Interesting about the meat - I have never really known about that (as I am veg) but I'd love to hear more about how that works, how you store it once it is home, etc....<BR/>It does seem an odd start to the day, but with those temps, it all seems to make sense, that can be really dangerous. Stay warm and safe indoors if you can!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-36948085092116538772009-01-14T22:39:00.000-06:002009-01-14T22:39:00.000-06:00Stephany- I had thought that the arrival of the ne...Stephany- I had thought that the arrival of the new lid was a good sign for the beef arriving.<BR/><BR/>Throwback-Thanks for the info. We realize that we are being charged for the entire HCW and that there will be a lot that we don't see. I was surprised- well, maybe not too much- that they asked if we wanted the soup bones. I said 'ABSOLUTELY, YES!'. The only thing I passed on was the tongue. We were still told to expect to need approximately 4 cubic feet of freezer space-I think I'm close. This farmer does have beef available by the cut at about 3 times what we are paying per pound for the whole thing. I figure that the t-bones will more than make up for the rest. Now if it will just warm up enough to fire up the grill!Judy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-23267196317594398592009-01-14T22:15:00.000-06:002009-01-14T22:15:00.000-06:00Here in Oregon, by law we have to sell the sides o...Here in Oregon, by law we have to sell the sides of beef by hanging weight. That means you will lose some in the boning process, so you may not be storing the actual weight you were billed. I'm not sure how it works in your state though. But, it is normally weighed before cutting. Most of our customers are Weston Price/Nourishing Traditions followers so they take all the bones and tallow and get the full weight. To sell by the cut, the prices are higher, and your farmer would need a special license. You are not getting took, I'm just letting you know, because this is the most asked question we receive. <BR/><BR/>You will love the taste of the beef that you can. :) Your pressure cooker is great for cooking a fast roast for dinner too, delicious!Throwback at Trapper Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418370592659531735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-46830978314294352912009-01-14T21:04:00.000-06:002009-01-14T21:04:00.000-06:00It was a weird day.

As he didn't have anything terribly pressing to do, he burnt a personal day in the interests of safety. <BR/><BR/>Having the lid to your canner will help with your beef storage. Mom used to can stew beef and you could do up some beef stock the way you did the turkey stock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
