What Does It Cost To Have A Whole Cow Butchered?
What happens here
The farmer presents a 'Beef Cut Sheet,' explaining that all beef intended for sale must be processed in a USDA-inspected facility. He reviews various initial cuts like brisket, ribs, skirt steak, and flank steak. For roasts, options include chuck, pot, sirloin tip, eye of round, and London broil. Steak options consist of T-bone, New York Strip, filet mignon, ribeye, sirloin, and cube steak (tenderized for texture). Other products such as stew beef, beef tips, hamburger (patties or ground), beef bratwurst links, beef chorizo, beef meatloaf, and Salisbury steak are also discussed. The cut sheet also allows for selecting offal (liver, tongue, oxtail, heart, kidney, testicles) and bones for broth. Processing is done by weight, and a private label for 'Stoney Ridge Farmer Beef' incurs an initial setup fee.
Goal: Explore the different beef cuts available and the legal requirements for processing, emphasizing the importance of USDA-inspected facilities for selling beef.
