I'd find a local pro who will take a bit extra to show you the ropes before I'd jump in.

I've cut up a ton of primals cuts into roasts, steaks , and grind trim. That isn't near the challenge of dealing with a 3/4 ton of dead schit laying on the ground.

If I was going try, I'd have a way to hoist several cuts off the ground and keep them hung and cool. One or two hooks isn't going to do it.
Plan on four quarters, a place to hang them cold and clean, and a few big tubs for miscellaneous trim and guts.

Speaking of guts.....a 1500 pound steer has a lot of them. Plus skin, head, feet, etc..... It ain't a deer or even an elk.


I want to cut my own one of these years but it definitely takes some planning.
