City Steader

Posted in In the Kitchen

Hubby filled both of his deer tags last weekend!  Both are does, and one of them was the size of a buck.  She had so much fat on her we could hardly believe it.  She was sure ready for winter.  We decided to process them ourselves.  In the past we have always taken our game to a processor, but we thought we would try to save some money by learning to do it ourselves.  Surprisingly, there was not much to learn!  You just start cutting meat off the animal and don't stop 'til it's done!  We ended up with about 100 lbs of meat!!!  Praise the Lord!!!  We could have gotten more, but it would have taken a lot of time to be so nit-picky to get every single little tiny scrap of meat.  I bought 10 lbs of suet from our local all natural meat store to mix in with the ground meat.  We have enough suet left over to add to our elk if hubby fills his bull tag next week.  Part of me really wants him to get his elk, and part of me thinks that's being awefully greedy, but it sure would be nice to not have to worry about meat for a whole year!

Happy Trails!
