I came to my attention recently that most people have never harvested their own meat. Whether through hunting or farming, have you ever killed and butchered your own meat?
Please share your opinions (I know you will) and experiences.
Many would not prefer to hunt animals for food, or even purchase meat of animals from a super market or butcher. Others may not possess the skills and abilities to legally hunt, take an animal and have it done by a butcher. I've experienced, bison venison, and if well prepared are delicious pieces of meat. Personally I'd buy from a butcher, but as I said, I've had prepared game foods and found them very enjoyable.
@kyredhead Hmm - So I am supposed to know all of that ? "How it was raised " ? LOL 😂 OK so when it says that it is beef or pork or lamb - I am suppose to disregard it and think that it is - Whale blubber - Rat Lips and Buffalo Dicks...... Better look under your bed - the government might be bugging your house....
@kyredhead That's fine if you want to do that. And I do see the label it has on the package that lists all the things inside or used. But for my purposes it wont hurt me anymore than inhaling the brake dust from the car that stopped ahead of me. We have an immune system for a reason...
@MarineBob Never had elk. In my part of the country (KY) whitetail deer are plentiful. I harvest about 3 per year along with squirrels, turkeys, and fish to feed the family. We raise hogs, but have them butchered, smoked and cured.
@GJOFJ3 My 6 year old daughter is involved in hunting and farming and I think it's great for her! She knows where the food comes from and how to get it.
She told me last night she wanted to save up and buy me a squirrel dog.
Νo we don't have our own animals (in my family) but sometimes I've seen butchering animals that are about to get eaten. Actually this happens before Easter in my neighborhood in the village, they skin and kill the lamb so that it will be ready for the next day. When I was little I would find it so disgusting, mainly because of the smell and the blood which was all over the street. I got used to it though.
