Yesterday, the family and I ventured to a very small town
about an hour away to pick up our freshly butchered half a cow.
Wait… what?!
Each year we split a locally raised, grass-fed cow with
another family.
They take half and
we take half.
Half of a cow
usually lasts us between six and eight months, although I think once my sweet
baby is older, we will need an entire cow.
Our freezer is now packed with steaks, roasts, ground beef,
and stew meat.
There is really
nothing better than locally raised, locally butchered, grass-fed beef.
If you can buy your beef locally, do
it!
The taste of the meat is fresh
and delicious.
Support your local
farmer and butcher!
One quick piece of advice… when you arrive at the local
butcher to pick up your beef, DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT step out of your
vehicle in flip flops and accidentally step into a fire ant mound. Otherwise, you will end up with TWELVE
huge ant bites on your tootsies.
No bueno!
