We just butchered our first cow raised here on our farm and the butcher put in pkgs, but thanks to you, I'll be talking/thinking this over for our next cow. Freezer space is precious when you raise your own food which usually ends with a bulk lot at once, but grocery bargains need space, too!!Thanks so much!!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00367540567590870424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-86036958609580159432018-04-17T14:26:49.140-04:002018-04-17T14:26:49.140-04:00I never would have thought about the roller pin. ...I never would have thought about the roller pin.

My husband harvests a deer each fall and we vacuum seal the meat, but I had not thought to flatten it with a rolling pin afterwards. I am going to do this next time. It would make for quicker thawing too! Thanks again, that's two helpful tips from you this week :)<br />With love, KelseyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-12532414299321750302017-10-11T08:54:28.414-04:002017-10-11T08:54:28.414-04:00Cool idea!
