Not the desired shape you mention, but malleable— can be squashed into any shape: I like Wegmans. Just Plain suet. Judy Thurber Liverpool Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 9, 2022, at 9:49 AM, Nancy Cusumano wrote: > >  > Don't know if they will have what you are looking for, but you could

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Suet question

I have bought straight suet from grocery meat departments & packed it into wherever I wanted or into mesh bags that fruit &/or vegetables have come in or into store bought suet feeders. For you that don't know, packaged FAT, often with bits of meat attached & that may have a bit of blood & whic

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Suet question

Another potential way of getting suet from beef that is organically grow would be to check with the vendors who sell meat at local farmers markets and see what they have. Bill Baker Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 9, 2022, at 12:01 PM, Geo Kloppel wrote: > > I’m not advocating, but one can buy

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Suet question

I’m not advocating, but one can buy grass-fed organically produced beef suet through the mail. One source that I see online sells it for about $7 / lb., which is not more than one might pay for certain brands of organic peanut butter (which are typically non-hydrogenated, so no need to wonder ab

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Suet question

Instead of going to trouble of making cylinders of suet, I just spread the fat mix into my feeding log holes with a little spatula. It stays in the holes better than some commercially-made suet cylinders. This used to work well with “Bark Butter” from Wild Birds Unlimited. Donna Scott Lansing Se

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Suet question

Make your own! Easy with a double boiler. Plenty of recipes on internet. I use lard, peanut butter, instant oats and a wee bit of corn meal (to thicken it). No millet or other useless fillers. Better than smelly beef fat too. Any tapered mold works to cast the block. I use one of the pla

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Suet question

I love Pine Tree Farms - nice people, good prices - and we get all our seed and suet there, but have never seen any suet there that didn't have seeds or peanuts in it.  You could try calling first - 607-532-4311. They also might have ideas for where to get some.  In decades of bird feeding, I d

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Suet question

Don't know if they will have what you are looking for, but you could try Pine Tree Farms in Interlaken, where they make suet blocks, logs etc. You have to go during business hours but they are usually very helpful. On Sun, Jan 9, 2022 at 9:39 AM Peter Saracino wrote: > > Folks im looking for a s

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Suet question

I have a question for everyone regarding suet. Since we know that pesticides and other harmful human chemicals including industrial agriculture antibiotics accumulate in the fat of mammals how healthy can animal suet from animal agriculture actually be for birds. I have never seen anyone mention

[cayugabirds-l] Suet question

Folks im looking for a suet log/cylinder for a suet holder I have. Just suetno embedded seeds. At least 6-7" high and a few inches in diameter. Any ideas where I can buy some. No luck at Tractor Supply, Running, Country Max or Wild Birds Unlimited, Amazon Thanks. Pete Sar -- Cayugabirds-L
