oh my home kill with chainsaw story beats that......I took chainsaw apart to clean,got distracted and started playing with other saw,then went back to origonal saw to put back together and couldnt for life of me find cover...not on bench,not on freezer,not behind freezer...I was just about to keep watch for men in white coats coming to take me to padded room,when spotted Meg with grin on face and cover out on lawn,now spotlessly clean....BITCH .....

Just as I pulled the trigger on dads recropcating saw we got a power cut and had to do it all by hand with a hand saw so I’m toast

I don’t think I’m going to sign up to do that again any time soon

When a generator or battery saw would be gold. Chopper probably would have been faster

Chainsaw with cooking oil in the oil tank.

to those who said that the bulls will become problematic in the next short period you were spot on

the one thats not hanging in the chiller jumped the fence/fences to join the nabours cows

cant wait to bap that one as well

hehehehe...you might need someone with big gun to come visit after all.
Loaded 2 R2 jersey bulls in truck today,quiet going in,quiet going off....now the two R2 friesans on other hand were stroppy as heck...they ran back into truck 3 times at saleyards before staying out and into pens.....bent the plurry back door in process...would happily have shot them both.

What a great read this has been. First and last beefy I did was an 800kg+ hereford/simmental that I helped a mate with. 223 behind the ear on the milking pad then a tractor to raise for gutting and bleeding. Took 5 strong guys to carry each quartered section to get Into the chiller. Back breaking stuff but the beer tasted great

lifting these quarters (especially with all the ribs on the hind quarters) to get them into the chiller with one other person helping was a effort thats for sure

Things are starting too look pretty chocka with the mince to come tomorrow
I got a hand with cutting it up from guy that was an ex butcher which was a great idea in hind sight as he was showing me things I was definitely not aware of like locations of sirloins ect

I mostly just did the mince trimming and cutting and attempting to keep up with bagging

Two nights and I’d say 7 ish hours total including the clean up with a pro on hand so it’s a mission to say the least doing it in your back yard but I’ll probably do it again as it’s awesome to see an animal you grew be broken down completely and how good it is and this one was pretty fat/impressive considering it’s age and breeding(dairy cross) at likely 230ish kg on the hook by his estimate at 15 months old

Little bit of sweat and pain but a cool little project over the Christmas break

oh do come on...get with the programme...HOW GOOD DOES IT TASTE????????

I’m cooking a brisket up for dinner now in the oven
The sirloin was great plenty of fat to keep it nice and moist

By all accounts it’s fatty and fantastic

Even in the chiller 11 days it still tastes very fresh if that makes sense
No gamey or unpleasant tastes at all.
Definitely very fatty which isn’t bad just needs to be planned for when cooking
