Beeves

The beeves are just about finished. We took our first steer (beef) into the locker for processing and got it back last week. We sold 1/4 and kept 3/4. Our freezers are officially full. Its nice to look in the freezer going into the winter and see one filled with chicken, one filled with beef and one filled with pork and venison. I think we have our protein covered for this winter! We will be taking the next two beeves into the locker in two weeks. These should be excellent quality. They've been slowly eating the corn over the last few months. It definitely takes longer to grow a steer without inoculates and antibiotics but we really appreciate knowing that the meat is both high a quality and without medications and hormones. Tomorrow I'll move the corral from out of the pasture and into the paddock so that the steers can get used to being in the corral. That way when it's time to go I can close the door on the corral and load them up.
