Canning the meat is a good idea, I have never tried meat this way but will get around to it eventually. I have a large chest freezer and I find it is fabulous, and because it is fairly new it is very efficient on power, and we will be going fully solar when we move to the farm, so won't cost us anything to run at all then. I am hoping my hubby learns to hunt and butcher some of our own meat, fish and chicken once we are on our farm, saves money and we know where the animals have come from then. I'm sure you'll get to your steak soon...well done...Debra Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928630615929764333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847491402442204726.post-41667438556358744772012-07-04T08:23:32.541+08:002012-07-04T08:23:32.541+08:00Use a pressure canner instead of buying a new free...Use a pressure canner instead of buying a new freezer. Problem solved...lol. If you don't have a pressure canner, it will still be cheaper than a freezer. If the electricity is out for whatever reason, the meat won't spoil. You can then get the cow and freeze all you are able and can the rest. People can hamburger chopped and cooked first, can cuts of meat. It will help to keep the house warm. <br /><br />I think it is marvelous your son can hunt and butcher. <br /><br />You can do it!Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
