How do I do all this on my LND running on my Start9?

I can't tell what the difference is between Strategy;s instance and regular mempool. Metaplanet's makes a ton of sense but Strat's is just . . . what even is it?

Yeah. There are roughly 8 different primals on a cow. If you learn how to butcher then your cost on a $ per pound basis falls pretty rapidly. If you have a large enough freezer and a vacuum packer then you can materially reduce your meat cost.

If you can find a Costco Business Center instead of a regular Costco you are golden. They cater to Restaurants so they sell primals of meat.

Learning how to butcher at least a couple of different primals is good knowledge to have.
