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.
Well said! Thanks for sharing your experience!!!
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.
We can call it a Hump Roast 😂😅
You have got to be kidding me! You cant butcher your own animal???
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!
Oh that’s exciting! It’s great to hear that you’re on it!!!
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.
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.
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.
That Neighbor lady is a dang worker!! She's always there helping and will work right there doing anything!!
You ain’t joking!
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
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😅
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.
Well said! I agree 100%!
I confess to being a meataterian.
This is the content i like traditional home farming no processed food showing up here all natural foods!.
That’s absolutely right!
I just love how the lady was hands on that’s every man’s dream to have such a great woman on their team, thank y’all for this great ride!
You got that right!
We need farmers more than ever sir. Great video, thanks again
Yes we do thanks!
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!
Love watching family and friends work and take care of each other
It’s a blessing!
Knowing where your food comes from is the best thing ever and knowing what it eats also great
So true!
"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.
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.
Absolutely! 💯
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.
It’s a wonderful thing!
Another awesome video Special thanks for Grace mom For letting us enjoy videos at her house She's always in the middle of everything awesome
It’s truly a blessing to have wonderful friends…… something very rare in these times!
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!
Good morning Micah,great job! Lots of hard work, but many helping hands.You certainly have some great neighbors!👍👨🌾
Good morning! Yes indeed! That’s something that not many people have anymore, but used to be common! What’s happened to our society???
Brought me back to the days on the farm 60 yrs ago!
That’s what we love to hear!
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..
Thanks so much! You are exactly right!
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!
😂😂😂😂 that’s hilarious! Yes! And we now have a new little Ferdinand that will keep the story alive!😂😂😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Excellent - here's hoping he's less of a handful for you and your family!😸
Yes indeed!😂😂😂
Brought me back hone for about a half hour, man. I appreciate that.
Good luck and good fortune to you and yours. May all y'all touch turn to gold.
I appreciate that!
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.
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!😊
Glad you enjoyed it! We’ll have more coming soon!
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.
That’s a GREAT attitude! It’s a pleasure to be able to share this with you!
LOVE this kinda family real life content. Reminds me of the way we raised our kids as well. Great Job.
Thanks! We love it!
Awesome team work food for the families 🌺🍍🌴✝️🇺🇸🤙🏽 Thank you for this video🤙🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
A hard working family, enjoy your videos very much.👍
Yes, thank you!
I was going to say 1600 lbs great video thanks for sharing keep the cameras rolling from Florida.
You got it!
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!
Yes indeed!!! We learned that those legs have reach, speed and power!!!😂😂😂
Have a super awesome day!
Great video, good to see everyone working together
Glad you enjoyed it! We love those days!
Note to self: Do NOT fight Matthew! That ol’ boy can take a punch!
You ain’t joking!!!😂😂😂
Frank never show up to help! But when the Mcgies cook he’s always there 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
It’s amazing his name Ferdinand the bull, I watch the movie I became fun of the movie. Enjoy the fruit of your labor.💕🦊
Thank you!!! It’s definitely amazing! 🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩
The kid in green almost had his jaw broke!
Yes close!
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!
It’s so much more enjoyable when everyone helps!
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.
Absolutely!
Enjoyed the video. Thank God for real folk like you all.
Our pleasure! Thank you!
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
Absolutely 💯
Awesome video! Looks like you have a wonderful family. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Amazing to watch how it's all done. Excellent video. Well done. From Scotland
Thank you very much! I’m of Scotch/ Irish descent!
Usually don’t support pilgrims but I’m intrigued by you all
Everybody’s different. Some are more different than others L O L.
Great. A glimpse at real life.
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 ‼️
They’re definitely dangerous, but necessary I guess!😂😂😂
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! :)
You’re very welcome!!
Thats a nice beef!!
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
Absolutely! 🥩🥩🥩
100 times better than any store bought beef, looks yummy !
You got that right!
Thank you I am 74 Year old I did the same thing with my daddy
That’s awesome!
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
I’m so looking forward to trying it!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures we love it. I hope y’all do too
Love it superb!
Glad you like it!
Most people think their food comes from the store.
Yes they do!
That fat netting you pulled off looked so beautiful, full of healthy Omegas. That piece of fat is often used to wrap a leaner cut of meat.
Yes indeed! This one was more of a blanket!
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!
Thank you so much! It’s a constant battle trying to stay just sterile enough to keep from getting banned 😂😂😂
@@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
Great video. You are a master of your craft.
I’m no master, but I enjoy it!
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!!!
You are so correct just keep doing what you do
Thank you!!
I grew up on a farm . How do u think we get meat to eat. If u were starving and needed to feed ur fam you to would butcher some kind of meat . Not only that BUT WHEN THEY BUST THROUGH FENCES AND RUN PEOPLE DOWN AND HURT OTHER ANIMALS U CANT KEEP THEM.
Absolutely true! Common sense is rare these days!!!
Well done.... excellent video ! Nice beef should be nice and tasty. 😋😋😋😋
We hope so!
This was a great video! My twins enjoyed it as much as I did.
Awesome! Thank you!
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.
Yes old Matthew is fine! He’s greasing a piece of equipment right now and I’m gonna be on it in just a minute!
LOL! Buy your meat at a grocery store where no animals were harmed!!! Right???
🤣🤣🤣
Glad no animals are harmed at the shops 😅😂😊😅
Lmao
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!😂
Excellent video!! I love to watch your family 😍
Thank you so much!
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!😂😂😂
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?*
Yes he’s just fine!!! We definitely don’t get attached like that…… we’re pretty excited about steak though!!!🥩
Glad Matthew is ok
Yes indeed!
I loved the way he kicked😂😂😂😂
They also always do that.
Love to see your process this in person
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.
I guarantee you he was wide awake after that!😆
Bison have a roast known as a hump roast. It’s very tender and delicious. The hump on this bill reminds me of it.
I’m hoping it’s going to be good!
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!
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 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 that’s hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Hey quick question. What initially dropped him? A bullet from a rifle i assume?
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.
Best neighbors on earth! And not just because they will read this either!😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures How did you know I'd read this....though I guess this proves you were right! lol.
😂😂😂
The kid learned that reflexes HAPPEN!
I say 1200 lbs! Wow 1634 but that's with the guts in! Let's dress him out and then get weight But his innards don't weigh 434lbs!
I didn’t get the hanging weight….. I might go to the effort of getting the weight of each hanging piece and add them up….. he’s still got to age a while!
Great job, excellent video. Ferdinand gonna be yummy. Ferdinand got his last kick in. im thinking the young man will not let that happen again 😂😂💪🇺🇸
I think so too😂😂😂
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.
Oh, that's so sad! 😢. I wish I hadn't seen that! It's as if he knew. I know it has to be done, but, I could never be a farmer.
🥩🥩🥩
I like how you sent them the freezer camp
That’s where they belong🤣
I bet they think the steak in the super market is created just how they buy it .forgetting ingredients the poor farmer that raised it
That’s absolutely true!
Those who are vegan, are more in line with the idea we are above nature, not a stewards to care and tend to it, but outside of it altogether. The life and death cycle is beyond their comprehension. I wonder what condemnations they would rattle off to a grizzly bear eating a salmon, mountain lion eating a deer, coyote eating a rabbit, etc? I tell you vegans one thing, the way we put down livestock and process them is much more humane than an africn lioness ripping the hind guts out of a wildebeast while its still alive.
You’re exactly right! However it’s impossible to get through to the vegan……. Something about the vegetable compounds creates exceptionally thick skulls!!!
Please stop being nice to rude people who don't understand and never will understand god's creation mainly because they don't believe in anything.
I admire this work keep going 👍🏻
I can’t help but try to educate 😂
You don't seem to understand that if he "bites back" too hard at the haters, they'll complain so much he could get canceled.
How does bull meat eat? Seems like it would be a bit rank. But, I have eaten buck deer meat and it is fine. Just curios, thanks.
It’s just fine. …Not like a big old boar hog.
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!
I knew he was going to kick someone by the way you guys rushed in, please be careful next time
Thanks!
Love your videos… very educational
Glad you like them!
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!
the fat you got around the guts, did you say it's called "fall fat"? and the hanger steaks is new to me too. great informative video !
Caul fat….. really good stuff!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures thank you
Such is life, good work 👍
It really is!
I enjoyed watching.
That makes me very happy!
Another very interesting video some very good eating 😊😊😊😊
Thank you 😋
Jersey both cows and bulls are notorious for being dangerous.
Well done lad
Thanks!
Ya'all did a great job!!!
Thanks!
Y'all got a very nice setup, and it would assume y'all must be doing a bit of custom cutting for cash, not the USDA inspection type
No this is just friends and family having fun here…….. we all have our own jobs for making money 😁
Sandi Brock is having the same issue with showing blood when sharing the lambing process on her channel. She's currently switching to b/w and playing with his filters to avoid getting her videos flagged for blood. Might be a suggestion for your next butchering video.
Yes I’ve done B&W a few times…… sometimes it doesn’t matter. But I’ll keep it in mind! I’m pretty sure that eventually all channels like this will be deleted…….. but I’m not gonna self censor…… if they want me silenced, they’ve got it to do!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures always "abundance plus" too if you don't know about that. It was started by Justin Rhodes and a few others.
Awesome thank you!
Mary’s mom seems like one petite working machine.
That’s Grace’s mom….. she definitely is!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I defiantly already knew that is Grace’s mom. Mary’s mom would be Mom McGie🤷🏾♂️.. sorry about that. ✌🏾

Yes indeed!!
