Slightly tapping a hornets nest with this eh ? LOL !

I have been really surprised with what I have bought locally from the supermarket's meat counter, and though I don't eat a lot of beef, for health reasons, you have to go and get a good steak every so often. I'll get a few for the grill, and its common at family gatherings, holidays or birthdays. I'll get a fillet mignon and prepare same for my mother periodically, picky eater, but she won't turn down a steak dinner. Its hard to believe what we can get at the store is actually good, very surprised, you pay for it too, but its not what you would think.

The local butcher shops, pork stores and the like, seem to be doing well around here, but are off the beaten path, but I seem to recall, prices were fair and the quality is always good. I'm not sure where they are sourcing their beef, not the same place where the big stores get it, and I know there is local beef being raised, of good quality, I used to deliver feed sweepings from a huge dairy to their foreman's place, he had 100 head of his own, good looking herd when I saw it last, he sells locally.

One thing that many of us do take advantage of is, the 2 1/2 months that is available to us to hunt whitetail deer. I enjoy planting forage for them, helps immensely with a harsh winter like the previous one and you know they enjoy it when you observe them. I'm privileged to be able to select from a local herd what I need to fill the various tags and it provides enough red meat for a year, + what we take in for processing. They finish on nice forage for weeks, so the meat has always been exceptional, we butcher immediately after every kill, and meticulously clean off the fat, sinew, silver skin and package and freeze, for a few hours work, you have a lot of food, above and beyond all, and as much as they are a pain to keep from the gardens, its something to be thankful for and not take for granted, I think we are very fortunate to have a healthy herd of whitetail of sufficient size with excellent habitat. Meat as you know is lean and healthy, and of course you can add pork fat, or prepare as you like, and unless you take a real old one, its very good, I did take a very old doe one time and it was not so good, it happens.
