Screw the gov’t.
I’ve been eating more venison lately. It’s free, low in fat, the mignons are excellent smoked, marinated, grilled, in stews etc. Any way you can cook beef you can do the same with venison.

Besides, there are way too many of the critters, and they eat everything I plant. They’ve even eaten my holly!
This year I’m getting a solar electric fence. Hope that works.

It is a rare occasion that I buy beef -- if you are eating red meat at our house, it is likely deer, elk, moose or bison. No hormones or antibiotics, we know exactly how the meat was handled and aged since I process the meat myself, and I love the time I spend hunting. It is a winning situation all around.

Why anyone would put a tenderloin or backstrap in stew is a mystery to me.
