We purchase suet from a local butcher in Texas so you can get it in the US. It comes in 5 lbs bags and he grounds it for us. This makes it easy to render. He will also render it for us , but that is not necessary. We do the whole 5 lbs bag at once and store in the freezer. We use it in cooking, pemmican, and sometimes we eat it plain by the spoonful, when we just crave some extra fat. It is a nice white color but has some sediments that settle. We do not put ours through cheesecloth but just a normal tea strainer. It does not bother us and it makes great pemmican. At one time the Whole Foods store in Dallas said they would try to get some fat from the location they butcher at. They never did and we did not follow up with them. We even got fat from Albertsons grocery stores. We asked for fat trimmings (suet) that we are not feeding to animals but to ourselves. They would get it for us in the morning fresh as they trimmed up meats. They even ground it for us upon request. Good Luck in your search. Kendra and Karen NeanderTwins
