You're the first prepper that has every let us know what to ask for.

If you ask the butcher, they will grind your tallow like ground meat and it will melt faster. We are butchers and that’s what we do. I’ve also asked other butchers and they will do the same. We always yield more tallow when we do this.

I had no idea is was that easy! I tried googling how to get tallow from the butcher and nothing was as straightforward as what you said! Thank you! I'm new to getting farmed local beef and processing my own chickens..so I'm learning all these things. Thank you, love your videos! You're a great teacher!

I just got our first local grass-fed half beef and am excited to render tallow for the first time. This is a great tutorial and I always love your videos because how real life they are.

I watched this video the first time about three weeks ago. Two days after I watched this, the man called from the meat processing place to tell us our half a beef was ready to be cut and find out how I wanted it. Amoungst the other stuff I told hiim I wanted 15 pounds of fat for tallow.

We picked it all up this morning, and after stocking away all the meat I set to work on the fat. Forty-five minutes later I have a roaster full of ground fat melting in my roaster. I'm so excited about this!!

I held back 10 nice cubes of fat for greasing the grinder when we grind-up pork or venison. Those I'm freezinf individually and I'll keep them in the front of the freezer for easy access.

Thanks so much for this informational video!

I love your videos! Thankyou so much for teaching those of us who did not grow up on a farm. I have a garden now and am hoping to one day have a farm. Thankyou for being a blessing to me!

You are truly an inspiration and a source of positivity during these tough times. Thank you for guiding us and helping us steer clear of highly processed foods. I am currently in the process of melting down 45 lbs. of beef fat and following your instructions to pressure can it, so that it stays fresh and edible for years to come. 🥰

I have not done Tallow before, but I do render pork fat.. I don't can mine, I fill the jars and put it right on the shelf, I've not had a problem doing it that way. I'm surprised you don't water bath your beef, since a lot of Mennonites and Amish do water bath everything. GOD is good, all the time.

I dont knownif it is regional or just our butcher, but our butcher specifies WHICH fat you want for tallow... We take just the kidney fat. I dont think there is any meat, muscle that touches us ao it is lovely and easy.

I just love you!!! ❤️ I wish I could be your neighbor lol you are such an amazing person and teacher

[roseannmay]

You take your time and explain clearly how to do the project, so that is very important and easy to learn❤

My sisters and I all have roasters, which we consider to be communal. When we have big family parties, we can feed a small army. We have also gifed our children with roasters so they can continue the tradition.

There would be 40 pounds or so of beef fat/suet/tallow on an average beef animal. So you are using about half of it. . Just to give you a rough idea.

I've got 66 pounds (30kg in aussie measurements) of beef fat coming tomorrow to render. I just ask my butcher to grind it up for me and they do. Also we live on a farm over 100kms (an hour's drive) from town and they deliver it all the way out here for only $20AU, which is a bargain.
We've also got 48kg of chicken legs coming to be canned up tomorrow in the same delivery. My husband and I have got our work cut out for us over the next few days!
I wish we could afford to buy a whole cow... and we don't have the room to raise them on our small farmyard.
We are going to get some sheep from the sale yards to bring straight home and process soon tho.
Great video, we always love watching your videos.

I wish I had you as mother from the beginning of my life lessons🤗 Well anyways even at my age in life, I can still learn😁 thank you for being here cherished soul🥰👍

[robinpritchard]

Ruth Ann, I have learned so much from your channel. I enjoy seeing all aspects of your farm. Of course I love your cooking/recipes. Just everything. Thanks for being a bright spot in my day!

[ldg]

I had commented on one of your other videos, asking for a tallow recipe/method. i hadn, t seen this. this showed me what i was doing incorrectly. Thanks!

[ronjohn]

You can ask your butcher to run the tallow through the grinder to break it down.

Just brought home 20lbs of suet and was so glad you had this vid. Now I know what to do with it (no room in the freezer to try later). TY! ❤
