Mutton Tallow:
are you talking about the lard that is rendered out of the fat?
and yes the fat inside the carcass has always felt different to me. and in Beef it is sold as Suet. if you get fat from under the hide, it is not suet.
also, does it separate out like the bear oil that was mentioned in another thread?
Hi I brought up this old thread because I finally found a good source for Mutton Tallow. I was going to buy from Dixie Gun Works, but from the new reviews on there product it doesn't sound too good.....and they are selling 10/12oz. jars as 1lb.
The lady is Real nice and her procuct comes out of Australia. It is 100% pure Mutton Tallow. Company has been around since 1895 and has been in her family since the 50's.
Her price is $10/lb but it is an honost lb and I think it is cosmetic grade.
Here is contact info....(no web sight yet and that is why she was so had to find).

Bird feeding suet cakes are made of rendered heart and kidney fat. Very shelf stable.
I mix my mutton tallow I am glad I got a couple of pounds the last time dixie had it.
After this posting I found a great source for the mutton tallow. The pure kidney fat and not the meat fat that so many pass off as the true tallow. The containers are about two pounds each and very cheap for what you receive. I purchased about 50 pounds and told John Boy about them.
My PC crashed from a virus and I had to scrap it after the repair shop dropped it while being repaired. They paid me and I purchased this lap top about 2 years ago. I did not retrieve my favorites from the hard drive and I can't remember the information. John Boy may still have it. I still have several pounds of the tallow as I became sick from medical problems and stopped making my lube. I now just use the NASA lube as it does the job as well. I enjoyed making my own lube as it became a little side hobby to my BP shooting. I also was using several other things that are very expensive to buy and the NASA is the best and it's ready to use.

Hopefully John Boy will post the source. I would like to purchase some.
I just found my information on the sheep tallow. The site is uswellnessmeats.com They sell all kinds of meats; beef, lamb, rabbit, pork and so on. The tallow is sold in 1.8 containers and when you open it you can hardly smell anything. Not like the other products I 've purchased in the past. They are out but you may place a backorder. I did this with my last order and received it about 5 weeks later. they have a 800 number. Later David

Funny this old thread is all that comes up.
Well, uswellnessmeats.com are now grasslandbeef.com and it's only $12.99 for 2 lbs, and with shipping it comes out to only $21 but they have $75 minimum, so I guess unless I want to buy an additional $54 of either tallow, or something I don't want, I'll be looking elsewhere.
