We picked ours up today. They will hold the other half that goes to our DD and family until next Friday, when we can meet them half way.

Houston’s home! Picked him up from the butcher today. He only had enough fat covering to hang 15 days but he looks great, in the package. Small but thick steaks, strips weighed out at about 7 ounces. That’s perfect for me. Should hold me for a while.

Looks like you'll be eating well for some time.

I got my Zebu bull in 2 Friday's ago. I wonder if I shouldn't have made more into hamburger. I was wanting to know how he taste though.
I'm ready for my freezer to look like yours.

Congratulations on the freezer of home grown beef. That is something to be proud of. Have you eaten any yet?

Not yet. It was frozen when we picked it up. Steaks in the fridge for tomorrow night though. Can’t wait. It looks good with more marbling than I anticipated. The steaks are small, but he was a small breed and only weighed 638 on the hoof.

We are very happy with the meat from our steer. It’s so nice to open the freezer and pick out what’s for supper. We have a little pork left from last year, need to eat that up to make room for this years pig in August. First batch of CCX will be ready to butcher in a few more weeks. Country living!

Had 1st steaks tonight. KC strips. Well marbled very tender with good flavor. We scored! The fat layer has a bit of a taste, but just the outer layer. It may be due to the hanging time. It’s easy to cook on then trim that though. With the minis I won’t separate strips and filets again. I’ll be doing t-bones next time. The granddaughter is coming over tomorrow so we’ll do cheeseburgers. She loves her cheeseburgers.

I hope mine is just as good. Still at the shop right now.
