Part 2 is how feeding grain to a cow changes the fat. It is only a very basic "rendering" (Pun Intended) of what I researched after rendering many different available farm tallows in which I saw the differences. Cows were never meant to eat grain. However, a cow was blessed with the ability to eat grain in times of need for survival. I won't go into how many stomachs a cow has or what they are all called because that is not my expertise. I just render the fat and have seen th

This is a complicated subject. You will find many tallow makers locally and online. As with store bought products, how do you know what you are getting without being an expert scientist, farmer and everything else you would have to be in order to know exactly what you are getting. Sadly, none of us really are "experts" and even the scientists are all humans that are still trying to get things correct. So I will be the first to say I am no expert. However, I want to share what

What comes up are all these cheap 4-12 oz jars of tallow stating 100% natural grass fed/finished beef tallow. Some are just beef tallow, which I stay away from and will cover in a different blog. From my last post I explained just some of the reasons for the cheaper costs of these sup

In the tallow business, I am often confronted with "You have priced your tallow too high. I can buy it somewhere else for a much cheaper price and it is the same quality." I would like to unpack this one a little bit. Unless you have been doing this for a while from the beginning to the end and have a little farming experience this is hard to comprehend. I liken it to those wanting to buy a car and wanting a Corvette for a Ford Fiesta price, without seeing what goes into the
