Freezer Camp

 We picked up the first beef from the butcher's today.

I forgot to take any pictures.

But it went fairly smoothly.

We got 2 giant coolers full of meat and when we

got home we split it into 4 coolers

and then put it into boxes and then weighed it.

There was less meat total than we were hoping.

But the people were happy.

We will probably wait a couple extra months

for the other two to be a little "beefier"....

Hahahahaha.

I reserved a steak that we are going

to cook - one of these evenings when

I have more than 2 minutes to rub together.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it

turned out.

We used a different butcher this time.

Our other butcher is much easier to work with.

But the quality has declined to a point where

I'm not happy and uncomfortable selling it to others.

This guy is WAY harder to work with and I'm

not sure where all my meat went.

I only got charged for the meat I got,

but I'm pretty sure my steer weighed more than

he said he did...

But on the other hand, we got a LOT of variety!

Which I love.

The other butcher did a large number of a few cuts.

This guy does a few of a lot of different cuts.

Which is fun.

And different.

And, hopefully, tasty!

So.......

there you have it.

A very busy, productive day.

That finished up with teaching a class.

So..... here's a random picture, because

you know how I hate a blog without a picture.
