Good article! Neck roast I've done bone in, bone out,
And just grind as it depends on what I want.
Probably the only thing I haven't done is the suggestion for the shanks mine alway get ground but maybe ill rethink it and try something different with them.

The way I've done it wrong -- I had someone else do it --- very high on my to-do list -- butcher my own -- when it happens I'll need a good teacher -- I know I'll screw it up some how -- LOL

Its not that hard. De bone separate the muscle groups slice against the grain. Grind what ever looks like hell. The more times you do it the better you get at it.

I do my elk shanks like mentioned in the article. I cut them into 3" pieces,brown them in bacon grease, put them in the slow cooker with some water mixed with "Better than Beef" paste and a packet of Lipton's dry onion soup mix and simmer all day. It's sure better than tossing them or grinding them with all that connective tissue and sinew.
