Butchering le Boeuf

Fair warning, this photo is disgusting; it shows two dead cattle, one of which is fully skinned. But the boys enjoyed seeing the butchering process, and I want to memorialize this little gem of an experience for prosperity and all. After seeing both beef shot, Bryce looked up at Phil and said, "Daddy, so now are we going to cut them up into elk steak?"

Friday, October 23rd was the day our Angus Beef (one black, one red) met their end. No more Rocky and no more Rosie. Now our lone Scottish Highlander will adorn our sparsely grassed hillside--and really Ruby stole the show anyhow, since she looks like a squat little yak.

Here's to a full freezer for us and others.
