General Discussion / Re: How much better is fresh than frozen? Making NorthStar Bison order for organs
« on: June 05, 2017, 09:25:39 pm »
I have also had very customer-friendly experience with North Star Bison, so call and see if they can accommodate your request.
If that doesn't work, go for smaller animals that are slaughtered on the ranch. I go to a ranch that slaughters the animal in front of the customer (on request) and gives you the whole animal. I get a lamb, quartered (fits in the car's trunk better this way) with the offal in a plastic bag. Ask if they have extra parts that other customers don't want, and expect to pay for the extras. A lamb is a month's meat for me, so I'm not driving all the time. Find other ranch items, like good eggs, while you're in the area.
A diagram helps to identify where the organs are, or just eat the whole animal.
