    Jonathon thank you sir. I posted on FB and got the usual trolls. “To much shrinkage” “never sous vide or water pan” etc. NOT HERE. Everyone was kind and comments were helpful not hurtful. Thanks for running a top notch site.
    Oh by the way… everyone at my job site love em so I’ll keep learning from here.

      samspade FB and sadly now Instagram as well are basically useless for conversations (Twitter has been useless for years) because the algorithm has driven people to only want to disagree or point out when they think someone is wrong! I was chatting with a Meatgistics user the other day and I said that ironically Social Media is driving us apart when it should have been a tool to bring us together. I think Meatgistics is an example of what happens when you let people choose what they see. Just unread posts or surf random. No algorithm trying to drive increased engagement and therefore rewarding negative behavior and what do we get? 95%+ (or more?) positive interactions.

      Anyway, just pointing out that a decent amount of society’s problems could be cured by shutting off the algorithms for social media.

          Jonathon I think what helps Meatgistics also is we are a community talking about a specific topic and when members cross the line into a topic that will cause arguments, other members normally tell them to take it to another site. I have said it before and I think others feel the same way, I would leave if this place turned into a FB or whatever the other garbage sites are.

                Jonathon I am a member of a few FB sights, and it still amazes me that a person can actually ask a question and people are either sarcastic or go in a completely different direction in their answer. Of course, in this community we do sometimes get a little off track, but it is usually after many members have tried to help and it is always in good fun.

                  This topic is a perfect example how everyone jumps in with their experience and suggestions. Once the initial topic has been satisfied, we tend to jump off a bit. This is great! Most things tend to go to somewhere else as we think about it. That said, if a question comes in regarding the topic, everyone is back on point. Luv it.

                  As far as FB, I still have an account but… I only see posts from immediate family, some close friends and a couple co-workers. Ok, three local butcher shops as well. 😉 Get into your settings and start shutting that shi# off.

                  Was talking with one of my co-workers today. He’s thinking about starting to do some home processing. Told him about Walton’s and Meatgistics. His first question, does this have anything to do with FB? No, this is a good place. He left FB a couple years ago.

                  Ok, I’m done now. Need a drink. 🙂

                    I would agree in whole with you except for one tiny detail. While on FB a year and a half ago, I stumbled across a post talking about preparing and cooking sausage.
                    Even a blind squirrel…
                    Thanks waltons for having the FB, Twit, and IG accounts. We all got here some how.

                        I found my way here through a local slaughter house. I asked him where to find a good boning knife. I found that and a whole lot more. It was a great day ☺️

                          my story is I was buying Excalibur seasoning from a local store, but they didn’t keep too much in stock, so I searched for it on the web and found Waltons, rest is history.

                            I was using a competitor and their order fulfillment speed is slow at best and I decided to look around and Walton’s prices were better, so I figured lets try it and see. I tried a small order and their fulfillment and shipping speed was amazing and still has not failed me. Then I found meatgistics and wow what a fun place that has the absolute best people on the web.
