BUYING A YEARS WORTH OF MEAT FOR MY LARGE FAMILY! (How To Buy Meat in Bulk) 

I’m *NOT* pregnant, and in case no one has ever told you, it’s bad etiquette to ask a woman or to assume things about her body. You never know what someone is going through.

I think I would have pulled all the food out Put the ground beef on the bottom and the other food on top of it that way you. Would have known exactly what you have and you could have just dug for the ground beef?

It is such a blessing for you all to have all that meat...God is taking good care of you and your sweet family. I absolutely love your video's and follow you on your "This mama's faith" channel. It has richly blessed my life. Thank you and God bless you and your family..Sherri-Payette Idaho

Absolutely love to see y’all supporting local ranchers and farmers!! The meat is much better quality than anything purchased in the grocery store. We raise angus and sell by the half and whole. We stock our freezer with a whole beef for our family, and support local 4H and FFA kids for swine and lamb.

I have chest freezers also i employ the reusable bag system, i put fruits in a blue bag, beef in red bag, veggies in green bag, chix in yellow bag, pork in white bag, fish in pink bag,dairy and cheese in orage bag..that way when i want something i know which bag to grab and look in.. of course you can use any colored bag you want to for your different kinds of cuts of meat but if you can't get different colored bags then you can always tie wide colored ribbons on the handles. I also like to keep a list taped to the wall or on the refrigerator that I write what I take out, on the list that way I know what I've used. I tend to keep all my meat in one freezer, and then I keep my fruits and vegetables and dairy and another freezer along with extras like Frozen breakfast products like I make homemade burritos for breakfast homemade Bagel sandwiches egg muffin sandwiches stuff like that packages of homemade pancakes and waffles that I can just heat up real quick you can use the beef stew meat to make beef stroganoff or beef tips and gravy or beefy noodles by putting it in the slow cooker and letting it go all day or you can can it and then throw it into vegetables in a pot and make a quick beef stew

I may have missed it because I’m listening as I clean BUT after a family member of ours (hobby farmer) lost a years worth of her meat when her chest freezer went out , we got temp alarms for our freezers. So if it gets to a certain temp, we are alerted and will have time to move meat before it spoils. Highly recommend! We pick our 1/4 cow up in 2 weeks & can’t wait. Love getting local if we can so we know it’s not from a lab , thankful we can afford it

Where I live I don’t even have the option of buying directly from a farmer, I can’t even find pasture raised meat in my local sprouts. In my regular stores they don’t have a lot of options even with organic meat.

Thank you for sharing Tabitha❤

Thanks for this vlog, i really enjoyed it

Another great video, Tabitha! Have a blessed new week to you and your beautiful family! ❤❤❤😊😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

My husband and I were wanting to do this with my family. I can’t wait !

I loved this. I love supporting local farms for sure. I love that you prepare ahead. Winters coming and I know you don't want to have to be out shopping. Good job Tabitha.

You and your family are very lucky to have all that food😊 God is good.

Thank you Tabitha I look up to you for guidance cause every now and then I think of buying some beef and again amazing video content ❤❤

Good idea mama! Love this content. Now I’m off to research where my local farmer is!

My husband and I bought a whole hog back in March and we are still eating it! We only have a toddler and she doesn’t eat much so it’s mostly the two of us. It was a big investment up front but it has saved so much money in the long run! We would do it again in a heartbeat. We also want to try a quarter cow if the opportunity arises.

I love your videos and your energy! You totally inspire me to be an organised mom ❤️ I have 4 children and my youngest son who is now 9 has autism and it’s always been a bit of a crazy ride. Your channel has really helped me put things into perspective and be more organised when it comes to meals. I love watching your content. Thanks Tabitha. ❤

Not on topic but where do you get your dresses from? 🥰

I really love your videos tabitha…my husband passed 2 years ago so being on my own has been a challenge but I watch your videos and you motivate me to be a great mom. You do so much for your family and I strive to do the same. Thank you for your storage videos and especially your cleaning videos. Much love to you and your family ❤

I found this to be very educational u are never to old to learn

I love shopping in my freezer! Ree Drummond has a lovely pot roast recipe. Lots of onions, a few herbs, cook it low and slow. I roast veg and potatoes separately. So delicious!!

I think buying a whole cow from your local farmer is so cool and gives us momma's time away from shopping to focus on other things. Ive been looking into the farmers in my area that offer grassfed cows, haven't had any luck yet bit im still trying!

I love the sound of your baby in the background. Pure sweetness

You an amazing mother and wife ! You make sure your family is fed . God bless ! Warm greetings from Illinois ❤

Great video I get my half a cow order in two weeks. I agree ❤bulk buying meat is the only way to go price wise. I'll never do it any other way.

If you're in the state of Wisconsin wisconsinmeadows (its a cooperative) looks amazing. Last year we bought half a cow direct from a farmer however we wanted to support farmers who also do regenerative farming and wisconsin meadows partners with farms only in wisconsin who follow their practices. we are going to place an order with them very soon!

you could freeze dry your berries, broth and the meat. Another way to use stew beef is in gravy over rice with veggies. my kids arent big on stew beef either but i use it as stated as well as in pot pie. Loved your video

Great info here!!! Thank you! 🐄 ❤ I never personally ordered a cow, but I do buy from a farm that offers it. They are incredibly humane and caring of their animals. We have family who orders in bulk like this and the convenience plus the savings they say is worth it too. You are so lovely in your dresses and you continue to reflect the Prov 31 women! “27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29 “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Thanks for being an inspiration. I also see your comment at the top of the feed - not sure where anyone has gotten that idea. I imagine it’s hard, but I pray you strength to guard your heart from undesirable comments! ❤

You are GLOWING! You are my role model when it comes to household maintanance, I struggle and I only have one toddlrr! You are amazing ❤

question- what was your thought process to put the ground beef on top of what was already in the freezer? I would have thought to put the ground beef on the bottom. lastly, wanted to share! When we got our half last year I had like you said some cuts that I wasn't familiar with and just wanted to share that a lot of those less common roasts can be cooked very well in the slow cooker!

Love watching your videos. I always wanted to buy meat like that but it’s only me. Here is an idea, I love chili and I use ground meat and I put chunks of meat in it. Try making chili with the beef stew meat. So good!!

New york strip steak are great to and chuck roast for a roast or Mexican meals.

You could also use the beef stew in vegetable beef soup. Why in the world would anyone ask a woman if she was expecting? I love watching your videos and seeing how much work you put into taking care of your family.

Good evening please make sure that your up-right freezer and your side by side refrigerator can breathe it will freeze up and you will think it’s going at least we did when it started leaking water onto the floor. This also happened to a friend. I enjoyed the video we raised our pigs and cow this is a great way to save and you know what you are eating.❤

Tabatha … my hubby & I just purchased 50# of breakfast sausage from a friend of ours and we’re getting half a cow from our neighbor . Honey if you have the space and the means to stock up on what your family eats I say go for it. In todays time you never know what tomorrow holds.

You could make beef tips using your stew meat in the instant pot

Absolutely love your videos ! Just wondering where you got your dress from ? it looks absolutely beautiful on you ! Hope you and your family have a blessed week 🙏🏾☀️

You can cook your stew meat in your Instant Pot with some of your frozen broth, onion and garlic. Shred it after it's cooked and season for tacos or burritos. So good!

Thanks

One of those beef briskets would make for a tasty Christmas Day dinner!!!

That stew meat if you pressure can it you may like it that way. I absolutely love pressure-canned meat. When brisket goes on sale I chop it up and can it then I use it to make BBQ tacos. The stew meat I make a quick beef stew, or beef tips gravy over rice and a side of veg. I do the same with chicken too. Canning meat is one of my favorite ways to have meat.

Yes

We used to raise Grass Fed / Grass Finished Cows . We sold them , why, at that time the Hay was expensive. Farmers were having a hard time with hay , etc , so we sold the cows to our friend. This took place several years ago. We only need a Quarter amount of Meat.

If you watch Becky @ acre homestead she uses the reusable collapsible bags to put meat in her chest freezers, it keeps meat organized & also easier to reach into freezer

Could you dedicate your chest freezer to your local cow? Then organize the upright with the fruit/veggies, etc.? I kept a dry erase board with an inventory and wiped off what i took out. Then when i planned for the week, i move things into my refrigerator freezer. And we locked the freezers, not for theft, but to make sure they were always properly closed😊

Would love to know where you get your dresses! ❤️

I wonder if I can even do this in new jersey

We just stocked up on hamburger and chicken that is what we go through the most and stake too

How do you cook frozen meat?? Thank you.

hi there i am a new subscriber.. love to see your haul's and what not

Would you mind linking the chest freezer organizer bins, if you can? Or did they come with the freezer? Thanks!

We're picking up our half cow in two weeks! We prefer steaks, roasts, and ground beef. I keep the bones for bone broth throughout the year. Our cost is $5.99/lb hanging weight! For those who don't know, that's the price for all the different cuts you get - even the delicious ribeyes and t-bones ❤ It ends up being a substantial savings when you do the math

Good

Stew meat need to be cooked slow and low so it will be tender. Add it too a crackpot with some cream of mushrooms soup and a brown gravy package. Cook all day on low. Also, I toss all roast in the crockpot. I make italian beef or just roast and veggies. I honestly dont pay much attention to my roast cuts.

It’s so wild to me that some of you have the AUDACITY to ask ANYONE if they’re expecting. Literally, how is that any of your business. You have no idea what someone could be going through, and you think it’s ok to be like “love your content, hey by the way ARE YOU PREGNANT?” What?? Like god forbid anyone not fit into your idea of what a body should look like bc you’re absolutely gonna ASSUME they’re pregnant. Mind your business!

Up I would put me some onions carrots and some Brown gravy and Potatoes any other vegetable that I wanted and I would make me a good hearty Beef stew.

Can some of that ground beef. You'll appreciate how easy it is to make a meal with precooked ground beef😁

My husband and I have had horrible luck buying a cow. We have bought two cows each from a different farmer. We were told they were grass fed and when we got the cows, they tasted horrible, especially the hamburger meat. That was not edible and I threw away about fifty pounds. I never want to see another cow. We still have a freezer full of steaks, roast, and other cuts. You are such an awesome mama. I love your videos. You are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

WE BOUGHT A SMALL STAND UP FREEZER JUST FOR SNACKS, BREAKFAST , ICE CREAM ETC..

Hi! How well does milk defrost ? I’ve always wanted to try but I’ve been nervous 😟

My parents use to buy meat like this

I would have emptied out the deep freezer first and put the ground beef at the bottom of the freezer first.

Put the ground beef in the bottom

I love your clothes.. you always wear nice things.

Could you cook the ground beef then vacuum steal it? Would that maybe help with storage? I mean that would be quite a project with all that ground beef 😂

Looks amazing! Please can i come for dinner? Xxx

Is there a way to verify that the animal is non GMO? Thanks 😊Really enjoyed the video 😊

What is the cost approximately for a whole cow?

Girl, use your stew beef and make a beef stew, with all kinds of veggies. I cook mine and chop up the meat,

❤🇨🇦

I just found your channel can I ask what you paid for it ?

The only way we have bought beef and pork for the last few years. I will never go back to buying from a grocery store.

Put the meat in separate bags.that way you will know what you are getting out of the freezer.label your meat.

having to check how an animal is fed is so wild to me. im from a place where grass fed is the only option.

omg i was so sad when i heard you say you were going to give all that stewing meat to the dogs. you could make a killer chili out of that and some of that ground beef. Oh well, not my food! Good video anyways!

Why not use the pork neck bones for stock, and cook the stew meat in the crock pot with onions mushrooms and that veggie broth til it literally falls apart and serve it over noodles or rice with vegetables on the side. If it's tender maybe they will eat it. It's also dangerous to feed pork bones to your dogs they tend to spinter like chicken bones.

Aren’t you afraid of losing power/your freezer breaking? That’s what stops me from doing it. The loss would be so huge.

Waiting for your animal to be butchered sounds awful. I am good with not eating meat, moving on and unsubscribing.

May I know your church and it's denomination?
