My son in law Kyle killed a five point bull elk and brought it to our house to cut it up. We put a piece of plywood on the dining room table and gather round and whack away. We have done this a lot over the years with the kids and now the grandkids. It really is a lot of fun. We make steaks out of everything we can and then grind everything else up for hamburger. We cut the steaks as thin as we can and then fry them very hot and quick and they are super tender. We cut out all the fat and mix pork fat and bacon bits with the ground meat and Whooeee it is so good. We did this when I was a kid on the farm with beef, pigs, and deer, and we have been doing it as well all of our married life. A total family effort with cutting, grinding, and wrapping, and then the eating!
Family traditions — they are what we were given, and they are what we pass on. Gives us roots — gives us wings — ands lets us do the same for those who come along after.
