SJUfeller welcome to the Pit from Alabama! Glad to have you onboard! Sounds like you have a lot going on, with the cattle and meat businesses, and even sponsoring BBQ teams. Looking forward to seeing a bit of that if you have time to post pictures, and we are always here to answer any questions you have in the area of BBQ.Comment

Welcome from Iowa. About 60 miles south of you. I just passed you on I-35, for the third time in a week, on our way to Lakeville. A daughter and her family live there. Skip already recommended you and on one of these trips when we aren't rushing to make it in time for dinner I plan to stop at Conger Meat Market.
Normally I buy at least a side at a time from one of my frIends. I'm in more of a pork production area than beef, but some of the guys also raise some Angus. Right now I'm about out of beef, waiting for one to go to the processor.Last edited by Bogy; September 23, 2022, 08:37 PM.Comment

Howdy from Texas. We raise a few cattle on our ranch but ours are 100% pastured and grass fed, in other words we sell it, not eat it. I prefer grain fed. I too purchase by the primal as I dry age my own beef. About to take a look see at your web page. Glad your here.Comment

Bogy -- The cost of corn has a huge impact on us, and, really, the entire livestock industry. Feed costs -- by far -- make up our largest expense.
The really big challenge in the industry right now though is drought. Many areas of the country are hurting with the lack of water . . .
Texastweeter -- hope your area has gotten a bit of rain, and that your pastures held out ok. Lots of early weaning and extra culling out there. Been blessed here, but feel for those in other areas of the country. -
SJUfeller I didn't mean to imply that corn is not a significant expense. Most of the livestock in my area are hogs. For some of my friends the price of grain doesn't matter. All the grain they produce is fed to their own stock. I'll know better in a few weeks just how good the guys around me did this year, but it appears they got sufficient rain at the right time. We own a home by Lake Okoboji, 2 hours west, and that area has been very dry. -
Got a little Sunday. Pastures are stressed. Lots of cubes being gone through right now.

SJUfeller just go ahead and change that Trial Membership to a paid one. I have a feeling you will be glad you did

I just completed the application info and paid the subscription. So I guess I am official now.
Will I automatically become infused with BBQ knowledge by osmosis at this point?Comment

Welcome again! We'll all be looking to you for tips on cooking that Wagyu Beef!Comment

Thanks Skip.
Since you are from Minnesota, possibly you saw this recent news in the BBQ world.
The City of Minneapolis is threatening shutting down two popular BBQ food trucks, because the do some smoking of product outside the actual trucks.
Boomin BBQ has been discussed on this forum before, and it is one of them. Boomin has been widely acclaimed since it came onto the scene, getting various awards and recognition in the press. The guys that run it are great . . . and they are very good customers of Fellers Ranch.
It is crazy that the City has not worked with them more to avoid this problem. The last thing Minneapolis should want to do is appear anti-small business at this point.
I am curious about other BBQers thoughts on this situation.

Murdy it worked for me if I clicked anywhere outside that popup subscription form.
SJUfeller that is absolutely ridiculous. You can't easily make BBQ, or much of it, within the confines of a truck. At most you would probably be stuck with a much smaller capacity commercial propane smoker of some sort, with wood for smoke flavor. Just not the same as a wood fired offset.

This may a dumb question . . . .but is there a way to post videos? I looked in the FAQ spot and don't see anything on that.
I tried to post a video we did on tips for making Wagyu Smash Burgers, but it says you can not post anything with .mov.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

And there are no dumb questions here, I’ve already asked em all. -

You cannot upload the video file itself but you can put it on a public location (Dropbox, etc. Just make sure it's accessible publicly, without any login needed) and then use the Video icon and paste in the link to that. Or, of course, upload to youtube.

To post videos, you copy and paste the link here in the "Post Reply" box, AFTER tapping open the little box that looks like a piece of film……..It’s on the top right corner to the left of the quotation marks….†A box will then open where you paste the link to your video.
If it’s a video I shot myself, I download it into my YouTube account first. Then I "copy" it. After opening your "Post Reply" box, then just click/tap open the little "film" box and paste your link in the box that opens afterwards.
I’m not that computer literate, so this is the best I can explain it..

Sorry about the link to the Mpls Star Tribune . . .
Here is a link to Boomin BBQ's facebook page. The first entry talks about the problems they are having in Minneapolis.

Testing posting a video per Panhead John's suggestion . . .
Here is a video of one of the Fellers Ranch partners chopping silage. (Silage uses the entire corn stalk, leaves, kernels, and cobs, and it is a key source of feed for our Wagyu cattle.)Comment

I must have done something wrong. Here is the link to the video that I tried to post above:
