🥩 **NOT ALL PORTERHOUSES ARE CREATED EQUAL!**

Here’s a little butcher-shop secret that’ll get you more bang for your buck!

When picking out a porterhouse, grab the one closest to the T-bone end, BEFORE the sirloin muscles start creeping in!

Why? Because you want that beautiful, tender, juicy strip loin muscle without the extra seams and connective tissue that can make your steak a little tougher to chew.

**The trick? Look for a porterhouse with NO visible muscle seams on the New York strip side!** 🥩

Same steak name. Same premium price. Different eating experience!

A little meat science from your favorite blonde butcher! 💗🔪

🥩 **Not all cattle are built the same… and they shouldn’t be fed the same!**

Holstein vs. Angus. 🐄 Two very different breeds, two very different ways of depositing fat!

When Holsteins aren’t fed according to their unique needs, fat can accumulate in places you DON’T want it—including around the valuable short loin cuts—while leaving very little external fat cover.

It’s not just about putting weight on cattle. **It’s about putting the RIGHT weight in the RIGHT places.**

Feeding cattle is a science. Finishing cattle is an ART. And the proof is on my butcher block! 🔪

🥩 **Not all cattle are built the same, and the proof is on the butcher block!**

Holsteins and traditional beef breeds don’t deposit fat the same way, and how they’re fed can make a BIG difference in the final product.

In this video, I’m showing you a perfect example of fat going where we DON’T want it!

👉 Excess internal fat crowding into the tenderloin and compromising a beautiful porterhouse steak.

👉 Meanwhile, the T-bone side has virtually ZERO external fat cover!

That’s a whole lot of fat in the wrong places, especially when we’re talking about some of the most valuable cuts on the animal.

**This is why understanding breed differences, nutrition, and carcass composition matters.**

You can feed an animal to finish, but that doesn’t always mean you’re finishing it right!

🥩 Straight from the butcher block. Real meat science. No fluff.

What an incredible honor to be the **closing keynote speaker at the Leman Swine Conference** at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine! 🐷🎤

To stand in a room filled with some of the brightest minds and dedicated professionals in the swine industry and share a little of my journey was truly something special.

From the butcher block to the big stage, agriculture has opened doors I never imagined. I’m grateful for every opportunity to share my passion, a little humor, and the lessons learned along the way.

A huge thank you to the University of Minnesota and the Leman Swine Conference for inviting me to be part of such an incredible event!

😂 **Around here, the kids come with the business!**

Growing up in a rural, family-owned business means you’re never too young to learn the ropes!

Our customers get the biggest kick out of these little employees, but what they don’t realize is they’re watching the next generation learn work ethic, responsibility, and the value of a dollar. ❤️

**Around here, it’s not just a business. It’s a childhood.**

Who else grew up working in the family business? 👇
