Monday night was a big night on the farm. It was time for our cow to be processed.
Our longtime processor Paul came out Monday evening and did the job for us, in a quick and humane manner. We are already talking about getting another cow from him in a few months, as well as getting fresh pork since we didn’t enjoy raising pigs long ago. He recently relocated to Valley Center so we now have another local source for good meat.
He loaded the sides of beef into his refrigerated truck, one for David and Linda, and the other for Ryan and Lindsay. For the past few cows we’ve raised, we’ve been splitting the cost of the cow with them and splitting the meat.
In about two weeks, the meat will be ready for us. Just in time too, as both of our beef supplies from the prior cow were getting a little thin. Time to get our storage freezers ready!
