Anyone ever slaughtered a cow at home? *pictures in reply*

You get better at redneck problem solving when you are a single woman trying to do man things for 25 years!

I have even considered buying a cull cow to put strictly in the dog's freezer.

yep we are considering this too..but we've got plenty of leavings from the pigs.

am also gonna keep my eyes open for dairy bull calves... feed them out on goats milk in the spring, finish on grass and voila!

We have leavings too, and neighbors have given us more, but not much meat to that, lots of bone and fat. My dogs are acting hungry but looking too wide. The calves sound like too much work and I don't have goats yet, so a cull it is for me so far.

Steer fell through The seller said call on the third but I couldnt so called on the fourth only to be told "I sent them all to market last week!"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!

Am disappointed and angry and frustrated but am going to the farm meet on Sat to see if anyone has any nice lambs for sale.

At least I got some free meat this week, finally caught the raccoon that has been eating all the cat food.

Why on EARTH dont more people eat 'coon? It tastes like a cross between beef, goose and a hint of turkey!
