I hope this is in the correct place- please let me know if there is a better area to post this question.
I am getting my first Holstein steer butchered tomorrow morning and wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions for me regarding what cuts/parts to get. (I just don't want to miss out on something as this is my first time and the butcher's cut sheet isnt very specific).
As for odd things, I plan on asking for:
Tongue
Cheeks
Heart
Liver
Tripe
Tail bones (as faux ox bones for soups)
Extra bones for stock/dogs/etc
Is there anything else I should/could ask for?
I am not quite sure what to do about the Top, Eye, and Bottom rounds. I am guessing steaks might be best? Is a rolled rump worth getting as roast or cubes?
And I have no clue what to do with the Primal Rib... any ideas?
I noticed on the cut sheet that there is no mention of the hanger or skirt steak. Is something that is usually in some other cut or are these stand alone cuts?
ANY INFO WILL BE HELPFUL! I put a lot of time, effort, feed, and love into this guy and don't want to short-change his life or my efforts. Thanks so much~
