Frankly, I love that yo...Strange meat? GOOD LORD. <br /><br />Frankly, I love that you guys are so close to your food that you not only know the name of the rancher who provides your beef, but you're related to them. As you know, the majority of the US lives the opposite life and that life makes me sad.<br /><br />I'm just glad we know the name of our rancher and have been able to visit the cows on the ranch because the thought of buying strange meat packaged in Saran at the grocery store makes me shudder.<br /><br />Totally get a pig!FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-43372983627242328072011-03-06T16:41:11.435-07:002011-03-06T16:41:11.435-07:00Holy crap!

When my mom told me Daddy had decided to retire and sell off half the herd, all I could think was NOOOOO. I *will not* eat boughten hamburger. Luckily, we found an amazing co-op that does local, organic beef that actually tastes like cow, not cardboard. Best wishes on your beef supply!<br /><br />word verification: sommoc, as in "Sommoc gonna happen iffen ah don' get my real beef!"Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059292762487719763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-26123975726349170712011-03-06T07:58:19.099-07:002011-03-06T07:58:19.099-07:00Have the butcher use the shrink wrap packages that...Have the butcher use the shrink wrap packages that way the beef will keep for 2 years with out getting freezer burned. There is always lamb! or more road kill venison? Maybe you can take up raising some meat birds... turkeys, chickens. That way you can stretch out the beef till your supplier returns.sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216149086520612937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-79069392126348931092011-03-05T22:13:01.625-07:002011-03-05T22:13:01.625-07:00You do have generators, right?

I know, because we raise them. And I totally understand the excitement of new meat in the freezer. We buy our pork on the hoof from a co-worker, organic chickens from a well-known acquaintance and raise our beef. The occasional wild game from a friend and locally farmed trout make up our freezer. If I could find someone who raises seafood, I'd be set! Not an easy thing in a land-locked fly-over state.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633912756265339462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-16412761873522209012011-03-05T12:29:34.951-07:002011-03-05T12:29:34.951-07:00What is he doing with his cattle while he is away?...What is he doing with his cattle while he is away?
