I HAD to taste test them and the ones without full ends are too difficult for the kids to manage so someone had to take care of them.

Dirty job but you are right, someone has to do it! Generally falls to a parent.

I had four...two from the ones where the end wasn’t closed due to yolk positioning while I was making them and 2 with my meal. DS had 3 and DD2 had 4! Lol

For some reason I read "positioning" wrong and read it as "poisoning" and I kept thinking to myself "what is yolk poisoning?" Hahahaha

You raise show beef cattle, but do you eat any of them?
Was that beef you raised in the picture of the steak?

@OneFineAcre
Yes we raise show beef cattle. Yes we eat them. Yes that was one we raised in the pic.

We don’t do the processing ourselves due to lack of time. Can’t hardly eat beef out now!

Used to raise beef for custom orders but we couldn’t bring ourselves to charge enough for it to make anything. Now we just feed one for us, sometimes 2 so immediately family can buy some at a good price that they know how it was raised.

This was before you joined the forum but we finished 2 steers last year
Maurine dad has a cow/calf farm
He is 87 and has cut way back
Maurine went out last year and helped him inventory everything and sent a bunch to the sale barn
But he/we like out beef grain Fed and was too much work for him
So we got the 2 steers from him in Feb and fed them until July
We paid for the feed and then they got one and we got one
Based on the hanging weight and doing the math the big one was about 1250 and the smaller 1050
So we took a side of the big one and one off of the small one to be fair
Did 3 feeder pigs at the same time and gave them one
We won't need to do any more this year for sure

@OneFineAcre I cook about a whole beef and 2 whole pigs in a year. There’s always extra people around here and we both take our lunch instead of eating out. I don’t think I could cook for even 4. I cook for 10!!!

I know how that goes. Thanks to my job I cook for about 100. Then I come home and try to cook for just me. Sometimes there are interesting results.

Like leftovers for 3 months?
