Back strap steaks? jerkey? sausage? Four, me ,my son, and two of my daughters! two cows two spikes and yes all of the above. I make and smoke my own sausage, corned elk, pastrami and some jerky, I usually give my hides to the vfw but am thinking next year possibly making rawhide for my self as I just priced elk rawhide, seems I give away a couple grand every year just in deer and elk. Yea I think I've found the answer for me in the federal trade commission rules, bottom line its all about pleasing big brother no matter what a person or their patrons feel is right, if you make the whole product from basic raw materials using hand tools then its handmade, such as your awesome baby grand, if you hang a store bought buckle for example then it isn't completely handmade anymore. I think for now its best not to use the term in any advertising and let the consumers know what parts you have done by hand if you feel the need as most here have said.

That's the recipe I use for my rattlesnake skins I might try that on some rabbit first, oh yea we raise rabbits too lol much better than chicken. By the way love your dog ,we have a Beagle we rescued from the pound looks just like yours in the face.

Who said people do not hunt with the really really scary black semifullautomaticbolt action 6000 rounds per minute AR-15 with the hand hold thing and the bullet compressor rocket launcher? {Sar-CASM} Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M

Yes, i am with billy bopp here, made from start to finish by the same maker, with or without sewing machines, skivers etc.. Quote
