Butcher or trim your own beef?? And you do what with that leftover beef fat?? Toss it in the garbage?? Cash in the trash. I admit the flavor of meat is in the fat but, from a health perspective, well let someone or something that can use it have it. Read more Birds need energy in the winter and when making beef suet blocks it should be for winter use only as it will go rancid very quickly in warm weather. Beef fat is for the birds.
