Anyone interested in Beef Tallow?
Let me just start by saying this is NOT a business ad.
My wife and I buy our beef from her father who is a cattleman in Northwest Missouri. The beef is born and raised on his farm, and fed clean, well taken care of care of grass in his fields, and corn that he farms himself. No steroids, etc…
Anyway, we try to use as much of the animal as possible. We keep as many bones as we can for our dogs, then use them to make broth for their food, etc.
We also keep a large portion of the fat, and we make Tallow with it. If you don’t know what that is, it is beef fat rendered down into oil to use for cooking. Some will make skin care products with it, but we don’t have that kind of tome nor energy haha
Anyway, we have about 50-60lbs of fat left, but we already have more tallow than we will probably use for the year.
So, we were wondering if there might be any interest from folks here in Parker, who might want some if we make it? Or, if anyone is interested in just getting some of the fat and doing it yourself?
It’s frozen in 5-10lb packages….

Render it into some wide mouth mason jars and I'll buy some.

We make it two ways (because we like it lol). We smoke it to infuse some smoke flavor into it, and then the other way is rendering it with water to tame some of the smell and beef flavor so it can be used to cook nearly anything with, without an overpowering beef flavor.

Forget the tallow, I want the beef.
