Thread: Tough Backstrap - help...

I'd say it was a combo of a little long on the age, and time of year. The hinds have been raising babies so can be a bit skinny and in less great condition. Just part of the game, I don't mind a bit chewy as long as the flavour is good.

Try some of the leg and if that is to tough for your likings mince and sausies are always a good time.

Don't be tempted to slow cook anything other than the front wheels, neck or shanks. A slow cooked back strap will be dryer than raw wheetbix
