Do you know where your food comes from?

We do!

This steer was born and raised right on my husband’s family ranch. We delivered it to my parents to get him dressed and in the cooler to hang until we are ready to process him. He will hang in the cooler until Thanksgiving time, when we can get back up to my parents’ to help butcher.

My parents started giving my brother and me meat as our holiday gifts. The gift of food is such a huge blessing ❤️ they usually do a couple hogs and a steer (my own family has since decided to avoid pork).

We make a family event of it. We spend a few days together making all the cuts, grinding all the burger, packing, and vacuum sealing.

Everyone gets a knife. Even the kids get in on the processing!

This steer will hang in the cooler for a few weeks. Then we will begin the butchering process. Unfortunately, my brother and his wife won’t be here to help us 😥

I will try to get as much footage and as many photos along the way as I can!

This is something we have absolutely loved doing as a family for years. It has become one of our favorite family get togethers. And the beef we get from it is beyond top notch ❤️

Below are more pictures of the dressing part of all of this. . .so just be aware, in case you don’t want to see the more “gory” side of all of this.
