Where’s the beef?
Well, our beef is hangin’ up the Slocan valley at the butcher’s and will be packaged next week. We went in on a Black Angus with some friends. We got him from our friends Brenda & Terry who have a farm just down the road from us. They are fussy about their meat so by growing their own they can have control over how it’s raised. No hormones and other crap. As a matter of fact this year when I knocked out all the apples from the trees (bear proofing), instead of taking them up the mountain I took them to the cattle. Terry came by the other day and we took all the corn stalks and loaded them up for the cattle as well. People talk about buying locally, well I like that Susan and I are growing locally. Susan for years has organically grown our food with many interesting methods, now we are helping to grow our meat, and harvest locally. If only we could plant some toilet paper trees and grow that locally we’d never have to go into to town for shopping…..Oh, I forgot about beer……
