No more stress about cows... =)

[Guest guest]

oohhhh... so many of you remember when my cows get out and I get to chase them.

Running from them and after them gets sooo old!!! so.... Since I had the baby,

and was unable to chase cows all day long, we sold them all. All except for the

bull.

He is in the freezer. All 600 pounds of him (well, less the stuff we ate or the

20 pounds given to elderly family members).

He sure tastes good!!! Its even worth the visions of his face when I cook him

up! haha! then I think about all the stress caused! and that makes him taste

better! I love grass fed home grown meat! He is all natural!! no shots, no

antibiotics in his food, and most of his food was grown right here =)

Its a good feeling knowing that I dont need to worry about that at the grocery!

Now... for the chickens... I swear that they think of how to get out of the

fencing daily... Just like on that Movie Chicken Run! (if you havent seen it,

watch it... sooooo funny!!!)

I am hopefully going on Friday evening to get a horse. She is wild... =) was a

rescue and the lady has had her for 6 months and dosnt know what to do with her.

3 years old... Going to be lots of work for me!!! Need to get fence built

before she gets here... =)

I got a chuckle out of the first few lines here - " He is in the freezer " just

made me giggle. I have had horses since I can remember - use to breed quarter

horses (I have minis now - I call them my midgets) - but we tried raising a cow

and calf once - I just could not eat them so we sold them for less than we

bought them for after fattening them up! I somehow can't eat something I've

looked in the eyes, named and fed every day. However, I will say that now, a

few years later, I would really love a home grown, grass fed cow in my freezer!

Let us know how the wild horse works out for you and you can always email me

private for horsey info - they are my sanity, my love and I love to chat about

them.

Sandy,

When my folks had a farm we had a firm rule: no naming anything we were

going to eat. However that lasted less than one summer, then we were out

calling bacon, eggs, t-bone, etc. - after that mom gave up on us naming the

critters as long as we didn't use people names.

ps. we also had duck soup & quackers, but they actually were pets - sort

of - used them to de-bug the garden.
