Welcome to the Old Fashioned On Purpose Podcast. I may struggle growing vegetables in

Wyoming, but there's one thing I can grow like clockwork. Beef. Of all the food we grow, beef gives us the biggest yields the most consistently.

Today I'm going to dive into everything that you need to know to raise your own beef for the freezer. Here we go. I'm your host

Jill Winger and this is the podcast for the Trail Blazers. The Mavericks, the makers, the homesteaders, the modern pioneers and the backyard farmers.

If you're ready to boost your food security and live a more homegrown lifestyle, this is the

podcast for you. This episode is brought to you by Recap Lids, which just so happened to be the

coolest little mason jar attachments ever. I have been working on beefing up our pantry storage lately because let's face it

grocery shopping is just weird right now and I'm trying to make as few trips

Hands down, Mason jars are one of the best pantry storage containers you can use

and they're even more convenient when you fit them with a special recap lid. These lids come in a variety of

styles, everything from flip tops to poor spouts to shaker inserts and even sprayers and soap pumps. They are the perfect way to reduce

plastic waste and make your pantry a little more functional all at the same time.

Grab a five-piece starter set from Mason Jars Maker Place

and try the best of these handy little accessories

while they're at an introductory price.

And bonus, you won't even have to pay shipping. Head on over to the
