going to QB the ordering of 1/2 grass fed organic cow. Never done this before. They will chop to my specs. Please advise.
it's like $2/lb for the order, but after yada yada which includes butchering and cleaning, it's $8/lb, which sounds excellent from a value perspective. So here's the dilemma: I don't want to surrender the yada yada if there's a smarter way to go about it.
Can I tan the leather? Kidding.
But I could make broth from the bones.
I am not into organs yet, but I like liver. I would eat the heart somehow. Tongue is supposed to be good... But what about all of the funky stuff? What should I keep and why? My wife isn't going near anything that isn't super lean.
Any use for the blood? I mean easy use. I am not stuffing blood sausages.
How should I run the splitting of the cuts? I was thinking doing it like the nfl draft.
The more I think about it, the first 1/2 cow order should just be done quickly, with the goal of getting it done, not maximizing anything that requires additional effort. If not, I will never do it.
