How many have had their game processed by a commercial processor with all the cuts being "bone in" you know T-bones, round steaks, rib roasts with the bone still in the cut? Here in Albuquerque most of the meat processors cut the meat all boneless now. I had to go to a new processor this year because the guy who I always used sold out and closed. He did bone in cuts. The one I went to gave a lame excuss about not doing bone in cuts because of CWD (cronic wasting disease) Here in New Mexico there haven't been any confirmed cases of CWD in our ELK. The New Mexico proclamation does state that no portion of the animal may be removed from any unit where the presence of CWD has been confirmed, except processed wrapped meat with no part of the head or spinal column attached. Since there aren't any confirmed cases this doesn't apply.
I think that the processors just want to avoid the extra work without lowering their prices.
Sorry guys I just had to vent because I feel like I have been ripped off by Green Valley Meats here in Albuquerque and to warn others not to use this processor. Its not because they did boneless cuts. I didn't get any ribs at all and none of the "cuts" is really accountable. They have marked the meat with only a bare minumum of labels, Backstrap, sirloin, stew, roast. Not rump roast, shoulder roast or round steak or anything to let you know what you have or where on the animal it might have been cut from, even without the bone. Now who in their right mind would debone ribs and what would you be left with? These people have a big smoker right out front of their store where they advertise smoked ribs! Can you guess where my ribs went?
Do not use Green Valley Meats here in Albuquerque unless you want to get ripped off.
