I am not sure as I would do some then get distracted or have to run an errand. I know the skinning took well under an hour and then I had the fronts and backstraps all processed before I had to run to the school at 11 something for a lunch date with some cute kids and a 4th grade teacher I sleep with. I am guessing a couple hours on the fronts/backstraps.

The hinds probably took 1.5 hours to break and trim. Weighing up the trim and adding frozen beef fat (I like 20%), which is a PITA to cut up, takes longer then actually grinding it with that commercial grinder. Then packaging and clean up. Probably had 6-7 hours of actual processing time in it from skinning to clean up. Not exactly setting the world on fire for speed.
