OT - Breaking in the walk-in refrigerator - beef is hanging!
Options
(Warning- one fairly graphic picture below)
As many of you know, late winter and spring I was building a walk-in refrigerator with my buddy. Well, yesterday we decided to put it to use. We purchased a steer locally and had a mobile butcher stop by to take care of the slaughter.
It was interesting to see the process from beginning to end. The steer was in his home field and was totally stress free when dispatched. He had no idea what hit him if he knew he even got hit. Once all the animals bled out, they were hung, skinned and eviscerated right there on the farm.
From that point, we had the carcass split down the center and then each side sliced in thirds.
From there, we weighed each piece, tagged it and hung it on our meat rail. It was exciting to see the room to be put to use. As you can see, we did not get the meat trolleys in time.
From here we we will let the meat hang for at least 2 weeks, and maybe three.
I will update this thread once the real butchering and breakdown takes place.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
Can I send a couple hundred Canada geese and ducks down this hunting season to hang?
Looks amazing and love the ingenuity you used for skinning - freaking brilliant.
Dad always said that if you give the laziest guy the hardest job he will find the easiest way to do it.
