About 3 weeks ago, when I was in Texas, DH hauled our beef to the processing plant in Fort Sumner, 2 hours from the ranch, and on Wednesday I drove to pick it up. It wasn't supposed to rain, but it did so I stopped at the Fort Sumner hardware store to buy a tarp and cover the boxes - DH helped unload the boxes, but got a call from a cow buyer so when he finishes up, we'll get this folded and stash it behind the seat.
We usually split a beef with the family at North Camp, but since it's empty, we had to make room for a whole beef - 10 boxes of beef = 716#
Thankfully, I had brought back a huge upright deep freeze from my mom's and I was able to empty out the chest freezer. We also have a smaller upright deep freeze that we had to buy last year when our 35-yr old chest freezer retired and there were only 2 freezers in the entire town. Needless to say, the chest freezer is no longer empty:
Beef, it's what's for dinner:
