Check Asian grocery stores for duck eggs

Tongue is superb cooked in a pressure cooker for a couple of hours, with a cup or 2 of water and some salt. The skin then peels off like a glove, slice the tender, fatty meat and enjoy. Oh, and you get delicious broth too!

Have been Googling local ranches in Southern California to see what it would be like to buy a half a beef. This video is very helpful in understanding the process of how the cuts would be broken down and how you might select them. I'm wondering what kind of prices per pound I'll be able to find. I already know there's some more expensive ones. I noticed some places you have to go pick it up. And some places deliver. I imagine that affects price as well. Seems like a great idea to stock up. If the price is low enough per pound the upfront costs are definitely justifiable. Also, good warning about making sure that you find a reputable ranch or farm. With such an investment you want to know you're getting excellent quality. Great video, thanks!

tongue is pretty easy: boil, deglove, slice and sear to crisp. Great taste, and nearly always tender

Ground meat is my go to, freezer is piled high with 1lb packages. Extremely simple for me to just let my planned meals thaw in the fridge for the week and then I cook up the entire brick like a rectangular steak lol

I like the idea of resources of meat providers. I have a couple in Canada, I can send them over for when you are successful, or let me know when you are ready to include international providers. Thanks for your video, I am looking forward to see the while cow, I was planning to get a 1/4 first to see how big it gets

Great videos Anthony, I’ve followed you from the start ! I like your idea to identify local ranchers ( we’re on Long Island, NY) and have used Butcher Box and Green Valley Farms… they’re ok but very pricey … would love to buy in quantity closer to the price you mentioned.
SUGGESTION: could you do a video showing how you:
1) render tallow,
2) prep and cook brisket,
3) cook your steaks
Thanks ~ Carmine

Hunting season is coming to the northern part of Sullivan county. Deer is plentiful. Getting a few deer and sending them to the abattoir for processing will keep for over a year.

I have been getting a side of beef from the same farmer for 20 years. That relationship has given me quality meat and discounts others don’t get. If you don’t like ground beef all the time, ask for more stew meat instead. Ground beef and stew meat are often the trimmings from other cuts ground up. Stew meat can be shredded or used in soup. As far as finding a farmer…a lot of them don’t have online or mailing capabilities…and thats one reason you can’t find them.

Great idea! Very few people other than my neighbors know I raise lamb, goat, poultry. Maybe one of your subscribers is a fancy web person and can donate their time.

In the UK we have pasture for life. They have a website that lists the farms that sell grass fed beef and lamb to the public. They also list the cow with calf dairys also pasture fed for life.

I live in NJ and I've been looking to buy a half to full beef, There are localish ranches but they are still very expensive. You'd think there would be a better discount. Best prices I've seen average around $8/pound for finished product and that's probably about 1/3 or more ground beef.

I thought you might want to check out the beef initiative out of Texas they are trying to set up local ranchers with local buyers. Great idea!

In NE you can get Peidmontese, a really good breed that's grassfed. My only issue with having bought a half-cow, is that there was no option to get organ meat at all.

Ground meat is excellent for stir fry. Hamburgers and casseroles. Adding cinnamon to it is delicious

[chuckcg]

I get beef from Good Ranchers who advertise on The Daily Wire. It's good and they give you a nice blend of cuts. The meat is good and supposed to be all U.S. born and raised. The monthly fee is locked in for a determined time frame.

I love sweetbreads, they are either the pancreas or the thymus gland, but cooked properly they are great, of course Julia Childs can tell you how to do that.
Tongue is also very good, and my husband now loves it, I had a heck of a time getting him to try it. You should be able to cook it however you like then peel it, don't try to eat the skin, it will come right off after it is cooked. I have only simmered it, but I would imagine that smoking would be same times/temp as any other roast. Just don't forget to peel it!
I have ordered from Grass Roots; they get meat from several farms all following regenerative practices. That it comes in the mail is convenient, and they have bacon cured without sugar that I like, I do prefer to get my meat from a local farm not too much of a drive. Home Place Pastures located in Como, MS will also ship but I like going there and getting lunch in their cafe (no shipping costs too).

Good info. Thank you and I love patriot idea!

Shout out to TC Farms. I use them for local meat and eggs in Minnesota.

I'm fortunate to be a butcher where my job let's me buy cases of meat for bulk prices. I usually get usda choice ribeye for around $9 lb or strip for around $6 lb but I could get it cheaper if I get commodity which is lower quality.
