Wow, how much are you going to end up with?

I have a book that has a recipe for Bison tallow soap. There's a guy down the road who raises bison, so I'm tempted to ask him if he ever has any tallow.

Made about 13 or 14 kil of tallow. On with soapmaking. Where are you from their is a bison farm about 20 minutes from here.

I tried that a month ago. It took days to get a cup of oil, that I just give up. It smelled bad too. I must have been doing it wrong.:sick:

I got the beef tallow from the butchers and had him grind it for me makes it much easier. Put it in a big roaster i had outside on the deck and turn it to 140 degree's and stirred once in awhile. When melted put it through strainer lined with cheescloth . Did that twice. Was easy enough no smell in the house.

It's definitely worth it to ask him. Bison is pretty lean, so he may not have much.
