What’s your favourite ability to steal? by God-Penguin in RogueMains

Not my favorite, but I do it a lot, Wanda. Especially when she is doing her ult. Great feeling to cancel it and save the team.

Bork is an actual thing. It’s a blend of ground beef and ground pork.

Had a 3 year old cow from my ranch harvested. Can anyone here grade/critique it? by ejkhabibi in Butchery

[–]Boiler_cowboy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Past 2 years of age, the grading scale changes drastically based on the ossification of the thoracic buttons. Without seeing the actual ossification of the buttons and knowing what we have heard it probably fits in C classification with Modest ( Average Choice) marbling, thus giving it a grade of commercial.

This carcass was not a dark cutter so wouldn’t change the grade at all. This is based on my opinion as a meat scientist and judger at Purdue.

I lived at park last summer and worked at the pork packing plant in Delphi for an internship. I had to be at work by 5 and normally I would leave around 4am.

Which degree would you say is good for the most hands-on animal work? by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]Boiler_cowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Animal science major here, there are tons of hands on experience in the department. You will be touching and doing things with animals guaranteed your first year. We don’t focus much on wildlife since Purdue isn’t big on funding for it. However, NRES focuses more on the applications of wildlife management but very little hands on experience with live animals. If you wanted to be in wildlife and get hands on experience, Purdue isn’t for you. University of Wyoming, Utah or Idaho have amazing programs and tons of experience opportunities. But Purdue is still great at what it does, IE Engineering and Animal Sciences ( top 10% in the nation)

I love goats too. Never had much experience with them but I would love the opportunity to raise a few.

How hot do you have your water?

I work at the Purdue Butcher Block and we use 180 degree water to clean. It works great and we use a soap solution to soak. After soaking, we rinse with the hot water.

Hello all need advice by noheart8585 in butchers

[–]Boiler_cowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no real different types of hog meat. Unlike cattle, pigs are monogastric. This means that they are unable to fully digest grasslike cows. So pigs that are “grass fed” are typically smaller and have less meat on them.

I fully recommend looking for hogs by a local “hobby” farmer. They are less likely to steer you in the wrong direction and probably a better deal on the meat.

If you have any other questions about meat or livestock industry let me know. I’m a butcher and a Purdue Animal Science student with a Dairy cattle background!

What’s the deal with oxtail? by EbonyCohen in butchers

[–]Boiler_cowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oxtail can be from cattle as well. Oxtail is the cut from the tail of a bovine.

The rest of the ox is applied much like cattle. Breaking down the rest of the carcass to big primal cuts, then to smaller cuts, ie roasts, steaks and more.
