Wife's parents do beef. They grind all the stuff I would get. Think I'll just stay clear of buying wholes and halves from here. I think the value is there, just not for me.
That sounds pretty spot on. I think they just messed up and ground way too much. Based on their cut sheet of approximate weight. Hams and shoulders are barely at half their proposed weight for a side. So that rubs me pretty wrong. Bacon seems a little light too.they knew I was a first timer and...
all had my name on it. Im actually thinking they prioritize ground, and took minimum for that at 15 pounds a style then left me with whatever they could of the hams and shoulders. Really stupid way of doing it considering I had gone down the list and only did brats because I was told there would...
Any of the extras got counted as trim. I wasn't expecting 50 pounds of ground. Maybe 25. They definitely over killed it. Just found their cut sheet and I'm absolutely missing a lot.
Yeah they didn't offer it at all. They looked at me like a was insane when I asked for whole pork belly skin on. Ended up just doing the bacon just for ease. It was a farm raised show pig. 300 for the pig, 367 for the processing. Processing breakdown, 194 for the pig, 60 for slaughter and...
Sounds like the all bits that aren't from the roast got turned into trim guess that makes more sense. Disappointed it wasnt the whole shoulder cut into steaks, but that's probably not what makes them money so not how they are used to doing it.
Oh absolutely. Shoulders content just seemed lacking. Figured I'd have at least twice as many steaks. But, also my first, so I expected expectations to be crushed a little, I think that area was just a bit of a surprise.
Not to mention I asked for half regular and half cheese brats. Only got cheese so that made me wonder. The ribs were also trimmed to shit. I let them use ham hocks for the trim so that's extra. The shoulder steaks are freaking tiny.
Here is the breakdown
2 packages of ribs
23 packages of pork sausage 1lb
26 packs Italian sausage 1lb
14 packs iowa chops 2 per (1 single)
6 packs of shoulder steaks (2 steaks per, maybe 8 oz steaks)
10 packs of smoked ham steaks
13 packs of bacon, plus pack of 1 end pieces
19 packs of...
