He would start cutting cuts, then I would take the scraps to the grinder to to start doing charizo, sausage, and burger, washing the grinder after every item I mixed. Then I would package . Never had 2 different animals on the table at any time and never cross contaminated any meat. Then I would put it in the freezer on racks with tag numbers and cuts. Butchers charge hanging weight bone in. They don't care about finished wrapped weight. I would think any processor that does mix burger and meat would be out of business after one season I would hope anyway.. My take anyway. Processors are just as anal as machinist I took a bison to a place in Tucson one time. Opened a pack of loin and found beef T-bones in the pack. No complaining and don’t want to mention the butcher since they do amazing on every other thing I’ve bought there! Since then, I’ve butchered all my own meat at home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I’m sure he’ll be fine. 99% of the beef out there is either steers or cull heifers. Obviously the world needs bulls but they usually do their thing until they’re too old and then get turned into McDonald’s burgers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majority of wild game is male anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flatlander Report post Posted August 19, 2020 6 hours ago, trphyhntr said: Even with burger? Yup. Process one animal at a time start to finish. Clean the grinder, tables and knives in between plus a full scrub down midday. There is no reason to batch tons of burger. It sits in the room at the end of the table and the scraps go to the bin straight from the table. If you waited to run a huge batch you’d have to stop all of your other work and do nothing but grind. That’s not efficient. So from the time that carcass comes out of the freezer it’s the only animal on the table until it is cut, boned, ground and wrapped. There isn’t even another animal in the room. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
