Where's the Beef?; Here...

Put down two cows yesterday, beautiful young ladies about 1200 lbs each. The four sides of the Charolais/Herford cross are wrapped in nice cotton sheets and are being dry aged for 19 days, when they will yield about half a ton + of the best Steaks, roasts, and burgers, money can buy.

It was a beautiful day for a butchering.

Mmm sounds good! We have cows in the field next to us - they are young and some of them were there last year too. They're not milked every day and so must be eating cows, I assume - when will they be eaten? Some are Charolais and some are black and white.

Normally at about a year old or so. I bought these as weaned calves last August.

Ok. Tis a shame, as they're our friends, but I do love a good steak.

My sister is taking one half and my two sons are splitting a half. They don't want to be around except for the eating part though.

Hmm, I'm not sure I would either, although it would be interesting. Actually I wouldn't have a problem eating cows that I saw killed, rather eating cows that I knew before.

Awesome! :thumb:
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

You can bet your sweet bippy on that.

I have all the equipment needed and luckily I have a few friends to help. The old guy that helped hang and skin them only wanted the hide, head, hooves, and heart, for helping. I'll take him a couple steaks and a roast when we get them cut up.

Many years ago we had a restaurant near here which served the very best steaks at extremely low prices. They were huge (many people split 1 and still had leftovers). One day they disappeared and the secret of their success came out. It seems they served only the finest beef from cattle somebody else owned. Yes, they were rustlers. I'm still sorry they got caught.

My neighbor has a butchering shed. I actually led *Babe*, with halter and lead rope down to him. At that time, it seemed a little strange; she did become a pet. But after the first steak, I forgot all about it. :smile:

I just got a whole hog in my freezer. I traded a farmer-Dad 5 piano lessons for the hog. He also took it to the locker, too. I paid the processing of $120. We also barter hay for p.lessons, too. It's a good deal for both of us.

Here local they charge around .35 a pound to cut up and wrap, another .05 to quick freeze.

Eldon,

You can drop and halve out a cow anywhere you have a tree or a tractor with a bucket. I would rather work on a hog but there is so damn much prep work to do with a hog.

Sounds like you got a great system for teaching piano, you just need to get the guy at the locker to take up the piano.

Eldon? Eldon? Where the heck have you been hiding?

:wave:

This thread reminds me of a family in my congregation. They've got about 200 head of Angus cattle, plus now about a hundred calves. They have two kids, a girl, about 7 or 8, and a boy, 5 or 6. The girl has a favorite within the herd, who just go by numbers, not names. A few months back, the family was having dinner, and Mom put hamburgers on everyone's plates. The girl looked down at hers and said, "Oh Mom, don't tell me this is Number 37!"
