The Butchering

Well folks, we tried to get the cow into a meat cutter but evidently they don't take dead cows. They have to come in alive and walking to be processed. Soooooooooooooo we butchered it ourselves.....in my kitchen.

                                  The guys had to cut it and bring the quarter sections in the house.

                                                              It is heavier than it looks!

                                                                            Here we go!

I have to say, it was kinda fun. I am pretty proud of the steaks I cut out. Our family came and helped. It took 2 days of cutting and packaging. My 12 year old niece was awesome at grinding hamburger!

                The process went very well and our family went home with a freezer full of beef.
