Butchering isn't easy work by no means. But I can tell anyone for a fact, true appreciation where ones food comes from is directly related to harvesting it by ones own self. I butcher my animals and harvest my vegetables. I have 100% appreciation for where my food comes from. So many don't understand this way of life anymore, but fact is 150 years ago more folk lived like this than not! Much more sustainable way to live than to rely on a half broken food supply chain! Great job, good to see others doing more for themselves as well!
I'm 60. Spent most of my adolescents and teen years in the Heart of the Appalachian mountains in West Virginia. It was still the common way of life when I was growing up. Digging coal from the side of the mountain for the furnace. Planted over 40 gardens every year as a community and harvested and shared every garden with the neighbors who helped. Butchered and bred our own animals, doctored them, and made almost everything. It's still alive and kicking. ITS Just that PEOPLE TODAY want instant gratification. We call it being woke and lazy. But I won't be a statistic.
I grew up butching and gardening and canning food. We also hunted and foraged, this is what the Lord gave us and its how we're to survive!! God Bless and keep the education videos comming. Thank you.
The hump is better if you cooked steamed for long time (3 hours) because it has a lot of collagenous, in Brazil is called Cupim and they cooked a lot because they raise mostly Asian breeds, here in Mexico we cook the hump as said steamed, great video, greetings from Mexico
Back in the early 1940's I learned home kills by my granddad, from scalding pigs, legging sheep and goats to siding in a steer. I recall we did a young pony for a friend that had a broken leg. Our UK Food Standard Agency stopped it all in 2013, all private animals had to be slaughtered in a slaughter house.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventuresthat’s crazy with all the cooking shows you would think this is the first part of all of them shows, why not show it! Take care man.
I really appreciate these types of videos. Modern society is too far removed from our sources of food. This animal was given a great life and respectful death.
Nearly a ton of grass-fed grass-finished beef 😁 A lot of work but great teamwork for a wonderful reward. What a great set up you folks have for getting the best meat on earth. Thanks for posting a fascinating video.
Grampa had a butchering tree back home. Was an old gnarly hickory. . Hogs and beef were butchered there. Smaller critters were processed near the house . Sheep , lambs and chickens. I hated the smell of wet chicken feathers ,I can smell them Even to this day😅
That neighbour lady their equals are very scarce now back 30yrs ago all neighbours gave a hand out to day peouple would be ashamed to b seen doing physical work .....that the main reason so many people are suffering from mental issues
This is exactly how we harvested our own beef. Great memories of skinning, and learning the internal anatomy of a cow. As kids, we played drums on the stomachs lol. We learned where all the different meat cuts are from. Fascinating. This skill is almost a lost art. Thank you for sharing this procedure with us. Brought back my memories as a little girl growing up on the farm. Yes, I am a carnivore.
Awesome video. I miss the days we did this, but, hopefully in the future we will be back to doing this each year. You have a great set of neighbors, and to have the same great set of standards and skill sets of living is awesome . Y’all are the real deal.
Back in the 70s there was a grocery store called pantry pride in Jacksonville Florida And they would slaughter the cow just exactly the same way you did in this video and they get huge windows that you can watch the whole process while you shop for groceries all the kids in the neighborhood would watch every weekend is it done it. That was a normal thing back in them days. This was a very educational video.
Oh My Goodness, that was Awesome 🤩 I’m in total Awe that you guys can do all that !!! One Day, I hope to be able to be part of something great like this !!! Another Great Video… Until the next one 😉💞🇺🇸
Helped do many of them on our farm. I have been kicked like that too . Owie brought back memories so I felt it . Heart and tongue are very good . 👍🏼 though the stomach was alway not much fun to pick up with a skid steer and take it down to the manure pile . My mom always made ox tail soup out of the tail . Have you ever tried it ? Looks like some grade A beef .
I have never seen anything like this. The only part that was a little creepy was seeing the bull still moving after the shot. I like beef and felt I should continue watching since this is where my supper comes from. Thank you.
I'm a first time viewer and it was really interesting to say the least, glad yall didn't cut out the yucky part of processing an animal! My wife was raised on a farm so I was around when they slaughtered their animals for food. Enjoyed the video, yall take care and God Bless Yall!😊
The kicking, etc., is an involuntary response. Even pet animals euthanized at the vet will kick and move, this is why vets will administer a paralyzing drug first, so this involuntary response is prevented so the procedure is less distressing to the pet owner.
at 09.45 -- " ... we love our cows ..." -- absolutely right, sir! medium rare, if you please, with sauteed mushrooms and onions, with a batch of home fries on the side .... YUMMMM
guys its called a nerve sustim its the nerves that and muscels that makes it kick kinda like a cramp but its already dead. more people should be educated on that cuz ihear so often that "its animal abuse" it does look brutal but hes deal and dont feel a thing
I have always loved animals of all kinds. My father taught me to clean his game for him when I was in grade school. I'ver raised, and I've butchered; but I prefer to buy my meats from local farmers. The same guys I'd have to call if I had something ready for slaughter. I am interested in the details of the process; but truthfully; I'd rather watch someone else's cattle get butchered. Then It's more objective. I get you. If you had NO care, that would be a bad thing. That looks like some nice leather, steaks, and a full freezer to me. Tongue is SO tasty; but rich and rather expensive, so we don't enjoy it often. Beautiul caul fat. Some nice little bits and bobs in there; kidney, cheek, seetbreads, liver. OOH! The hump! Isn't that a nice surprise? HUMP roast! Look at that marbling. Ferdinand: 650 dressed; minus organs and fat?
Great drop! He just had to get that last "twitch" in. Rain on butcher day? Meh, keep going. That last hurricane though... Carcass looks fantastic! Ol' Ferdinand. Still serving y'all well. Love it!
the critics eat at diners and starbucks..Sit behind their computer and judge humane ethical care of animals and processing. They HAVE no clue what they are eating nor how the animal was treated and dont care as long as they get "good service"... ITS blood sweat and tears on a farm.. WE love our animals every one of them including the ones that go in the freezer .. AND we know how the animal was treated and whats in the meat..... ITS a HARD job.. physically and emotionally... GREAT job!. The cull fat is amazing to wrap all the liver, heart, kidney in with herbs diced up and baked.. Lovely.. Render the fat for LOVELY cooking!.. bones for broth... Nothing goes to waste..
Nice shot, I love to see how everyone participates in the process, even the young people i believe this is great education for them. That what people use to do in the good old days until they brought grocery stores around and tax you for everything you buy there!
Very interesting, the fat which you saved what would it be used for, I don't remember my father saving this. I also don't remember what fat he saved to make tallow.
This fat will likely be used for making candles….. the last one we did a couple weeks ago was even better fat and it was turned into cooking oil! I did not know what amazing cooking oil it made!
Ol' Ferd always looked like he just wanted to have his neck, right behind his ears, scratched. He won't be itching any more. He had a good life and won't go to waste for sure.That is A LOT of beef. Hope ol boy who got death throe kicked is okay. That is a fine looking walk-in cooler you have there.
Fascinating! Where I work we raise butcher and sell our own cow meat and milk our cows live wonderful lives and are laid to rest humanely but I never really “knew” how you actually properly harvested them. Thanks for the dedication in this video keep up the hard work! :)
A mule they say would let you work him for 20 years just to get one good kick in. That bull let you soot him just to get one kick in. Matt must be about as tough as a tick tacking that shot, It did appear to wake things up though.
We butchered our own meat - veal calves, pigs, etc. One day nobody could find my Uncle Joe. He was cornered by a bull in the barn for two hours! We'd have a Bull run behind the cows and I was told, Don't go in the barn! So you know you have to peek 😂 That Bull scared the life out of me! I thought he was going to bust through that wood and I'd run - but then I'd go back and peek three more times only to he scared to death every time 😅 Ferdinand is beautiful and great name ‼️
Growing up we were not allowed to give a name to the feeder animals. Most of the time we ended up naming them anyway. I learned at a young age not to get attached. *Is Matthew ok?*
We raise Brahman cattle. That hump meat sliced thin makes great steak sandwiches or cook it slow as a roast and make gravy is delicious too. Sure do enjoy your videos. Great job
Micah, I have never spent a day on a farm, but I have seen documentaries on commercial husbandry (if you can call it that). Your methods are far more humane and cleaner. None of the animals appear to be abused, skittish or fearful. Your one son, David has a definitive way with animals. He would have to have learned it from his parents and other family and built on his native ability. Thanks for your ongoing video series of realistic life on an American family homestead. Footnote: the story of Ferds origin is an example of the road to hell being paved with good intentions - hilarious!
I have absolutely no problem with this/similar videos, showing people exactly what and HOW we get our meat! It's a damned shame the EweTube platform enjoys censoring educational/instructional videos that have real application in our lives! Well done!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I can't even imagine what a minefield of topics/allowances you have to tread, but I certainly respect and appreciate your dedication to traversing them! Well done! :-D
Growing up my uncle had a farm. Every fall we butchered, people who never have had fresh meat don't have a clue the difference in taste. Although as a kid we didn't want to eat burgers for awhile. We were the one's who made them 😂😂😂
Thay's a big boy, ought to be some real good eating. You'll have to tell us if Zebu meat is any different than other breeds. You have some pretty fine neighbors.
Whats the temperature. I noticed a good breeze so flys weren't an issue but i see everyone in short sleeves. I myself have slaughtered and processed large steers up into temps of 55° degrees but was in a rush. So i cold get them in the cool room. Even saw my grandpaw do one at temp of 70° degrees. Just basic quarters and hang it in cool room. For 10 to 15 days before he started processing 1 quarter one day then another the next or a week later. I remember once we slaughtered a 400 lb steer so fadt that the entire animal was on a spit over a fire and cooked within 10 hours for a family reunion. When i say ober a fire i mean mostly coals ive never done that myself but then again those ole timers knew a heck of a lot more than we do now on surviving. I was young enough to ask grandpaw if it was too hot to butcher and he said son we didn't have refrigerators and freezers when i was a kid.and when there was a need for meat you did what you had to do. And then he rambled on about pioneers. Lol.he said do you think they j6st stayed hungry waiting for a cool day or do think the eat meat when they wanted meat. Sure its better and great to do it in the wintet.that it gave you a slower pace to work and a longer time not to worry about spoilage. He always had knowledge. I asked him one time when best time to castrate a hog. His simple answer whenever your knife is sharp. And slap a little pine tar on the cut. Haha. I still only do that in cold weather
I think the reason Ferdinand left at the beginning was because he was feeling insulted by the way you fellas were talking about him. Hope Mat is ok. Sometimes those feet kick for a long while after they're dead. We put 2 steers down yesterday and they are now hanging in a cooler! Have a good day my friend.
hello once again the best taste to cook the tongue is Mechado youll like it wit the cold beer. then the Balbacua filipino cooking yummy yummy. Papaitan, Bulalo, Kara Kare, Beef Caldereta. Beef Tapa sun dried the meet. then slow frying with onions and soy sauce,garlic this called bistek, dry tapa just fry it in hot oil. the best for the man is Soup No. 5 find it from the cow itself make strong better than Viagra a natural vitamins.

YES!... we process all our meat on property as well as grow our veggies...
I'm 60. Spent most of my adolescents and teen years in the Heart of the Appalachian mountains in West Virginia.
It was still the common way of life when I was growing up.
Digging coal from the side of the mountain for the furnace.

It's still alive and kicking.
ITS Just that PEOPLE TODAY want instant gratification.
We call it being woke and lazy.
But I won't be a statistic.
I grew up butching and gardening and canning food. We also hunted and foraged, this is what the Lord gave us and its how we're to survive!! God Bless and keep the education videos comming. Thank you.

You have got to be kidding me! You cant butcher your own animal???
This is real life. People need to know more about their food and how it's processed.
Absolutely! And I have to wonder why TH-cam doesn’t like it…… because it’s always demonetized and sometimes age restricted 😤
@@McGieHomesteadAdventuresthat’s crazy with all the cooking shows you would think this is the first part of all of them shows, why not show it! Take care man.
I really appreciate these types of videos. Modern society is too far removed from our sources of food. This animal was given a great life and respectful death.

Nearly a ton of grass-fed grass-finished beef 😁 A lot of work but great teamwork for a wonderful reward. What a great set up you folks have for getting the best meat on earth. Thanks for posting a fascinating video.
Yes! Thank you! You’re absolutely welcome!
Lots of teamwork by everyone. That tiny neighbor lady is definitely not afraid of work. Thanks for sharing.
It’s amazing to have good help…. friends and neighbors!
Grampa had a butchering tree back home. Was an old gnarly hickory. .
Hogs and beef were butchered there.
Smaller critters were processed near the house . Sheep , lambs and chickens.
I hated the smell of wet chicken feathers ,I can smell them Even to this day😅
"The Bull is out of it. Matthew was almost out of it", had me dying laughing 😂😂😂😂lol!
😂🤣😂🤣😂
@McGieHomesteadAdventures did you get a loader tractor?
No that’s my neighbor’s tractor.
We need farmers more than ever sir. Great video, thanks again
Yes we do thanks!
That Neighbor lady is a dang worker!! She's always there helping and will work right there doing anything!!
You ain’t joking!

I confess to being a meataterian.
Knowing where your food comes from is the best thing ever and knowing what it eats also great
So true!
This is exactly why God gave us dominion over all of his creation. Food is survival, and beef is the best of all his gifts!
That is absolutely true! And we must!

Every harvesting of cattle and vet interactions always tell you to watch out for their legs kicking out, easy said though
He thought he was far enough…… up behind the front leg…. Obviously he was wrong!😂

I was young enough to ask grandpaw if it was too hot to butcher and he said son we didn't have refrigerators and freezers when i was a kid.and when there was a need for meat you did what you had to do. And then he rambled on about pioneers. Lol.he said do you think they j6st stayed hungry waiting for a cool day or do think the eat meat when they wanted meat. Sure its better and great to do it in the wintet.that it gave you a slower pace to work and a longer time not to worry about spoilage. He always had knowledge. I asked him one time when best time to castrate a hog. His simple answer whenever your knife is sharp. And slap a little pine tar on the cut. Haha. I still only do that in cold weather
Yes it was cooler when we started and warmer when we finished….. no going back at that point!😂😂😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures yep once you drop em you gotta job to finish.
Great video as always.
Thanks
Usually don’t support pilgrims but I’m intrigued by you all
Everybody’s different. Some are more different than others L O L.
huge animal, great video. I didn't grow up in the city but didn't grow up on a farm either . great info.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like how you sent them the freezer camp
That’s where they belong🤣
Great. A glimpse at real life.
I think the reason Ferdinand left at the beginning was because he was feeling insulted by the way you fellas were talking about him.
Hope Mat is ok. Sometimes those feet kick for a long while after they're dead.
We put 2 steers down yesterday and they are now hanging in a cooler!
Have a good day my friend.
Awesome!!! I’m glad you got it done!!!
LOL! Buy your meat at a grocery store where no animals were harmed!!! Right???
🤣🤣🤣
Glad no animals are harmed at the shops 😅😂😊😅
Lmao
I loved the way he kicked😂😂😂😂
They also always do that.
I enjoyed watching.
That makes me very happy!
The hump, or cupim is very tasty, best to cook very slow and low
Good to know! Slice into steaks or a whole roast?
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures whole roast..like you would a brisket on the grill , or the most full proof would be like a pot roast, slow, low and moist.
Awesome! I’ll do it!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures nice, I guess you could try one steak, never seen it done like that..I just know it’s very similar to a chuck
It honestly didn’t look like it would be tender as a steak…… so I’ll do it whole. Probably like brisket.
Most people think their food comes from the store.
Yes they do!
First rule don’t get around the feet they are on the ground
What was dead weight after gutting out ?
I have no idea
Ya'all did a great job!!!
Thanks!
Thats a nice beef!!
Such is life, good work 👍
It really is!
Another very interesting video some very good eating 😊😊😊😊
Thank you 😋
Lil guy can tell a story😮
Yes indeed!!
Thats right its how we get meat. Hands down my favorite youtube channel.
I’m truly enjoying life more and more as I get into the carnivore lifestyle!
Been there with the experiments to get a breed you want and I’ve been at it 7 years tring to get a Dexter line back breed
So how well I know
It’s fun to try these things!!!
Big fan from Texas. I was wondering how the salt you wash off your meat before smoking is affecting your trees close by ?
So far it hasn’t hurt the trees…… and even the weeds are only knocked down for a couple weeks
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures thanks for the response. Good stuff
Love your videos… very educational
Glad you like them!
What do yall do with the hide?
It went for animal feed
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures nooooo!! Not the answer I was looking for but to each their own
Seems the boy may have learned a valuable lesson and survived.
😂😂😂😂
hello once again the best taste to cook the tongue is Mechado youll like it wit the cold beer. then the Balbacua filipino cooking yummy yummy. Papaitan, Bulalo, Kara Kare, Beef Caldereta. Beef Tapa sun dried the meet. then slow frying with onions and soy sauce,garlic this called bistek, dry tapa just fry it in hot oil. the best for the man is Soup No. 5 find it from the cow itself make strong better than Viagra a natural vitamins.
Now you’ve got my attention!😂😂😂
