I render my own because I use only kidney suet ( ordered from groc. store meat guy $1.00 lb, from local custom slaughter place 50 cents lb.) which makes better tallow than what you get from places that sell "tallow" made from body fat, bone fat and the kinds of fats you get from rendering up the whole cow.  I do however call the renderers when a cow dies on the farm.  It's nice to think they may end up in handmade soap.  Just not mine.
