Be sure and let the meat rest in the Fridge for 48 hrs., will not be nearly as tough.

do you brine or just let it rest?

When I butcher I keep them in icey salt water until I take them in to cut up or vacuum pack whole. Probably in brine about an hour or so, then package and put in fridge.

Ohhh.... that's why he was so tough. I will keep that in mind next time. Thanks!
