Today was the 5th big-game animal of the year, and I’m glad we’re done. It’s a lot of darn work. In the photo: calf elk cuts. Front to back: loin strips & tenderloin, then a pile of blade and shoulder, then a pile of round and rump, then a pile of sirloin tip and boneless shank. They were all laid out ready to be portioned, bagged, and papered so I figured I’d de-glove a hand and steal a quick photo.
By the end of this one, I was finding it fairly easy to recognize the cuts by looking at them. That’s new for me. Some are easy, but some are not-so-easy.
And I promise – no more butchering posts for many months.
