Not irrational at all wineallthetime! I check our deep freeze daily to make sure it's still working. Between half a pig, soon to be 1/4 of a cow, and my weight watchers dinners, that little spot in the garage is pretty damn valuable!

We got a half a cow last year from my FIL. It was amazing to have on hand! And we didn't have to pay much for it because we got it from him. He basically "gifted" it to us. The processing was only around $250 or so I think. With our grocery store closing we should look into it again. But FIL doesn't have cows anymore so we'd have to check with our neighbor.

Drive up here! My cousin has another half for sale. I pulled our records from when we bought last fall and it was a total of $907 for a half. The processing was about the same as you paid lfig, so this will be more expensive, but I think it will be more meat. Should work out to about $3.50/lb, which is pretty damn good! Again, just hard to sign that check!

I already finished off a bottle of red tonight. At lunch I shared a bottle of Sauvignon blanc with my mother & at breakfast I had baileys with my coffee. FWP: I only have white wine left. Someone Amazon prime me some more red please. I can bring some to you tomorrow. LOL. You don't have to do that. I'm going to the store today.

Sorry, didn't mean to seem insensitive. I don't think it's insensitive... It's a part of some people's lives and not others. I just was thinking that she was probably uncomfortable reading it. But lots of stuff makes different people uncomfortable. Personally, I've talked with a friend about going in on one but we haven't done it yet, so I don't have issue with it.

I mean, it's not really different than talking about eating hamburgers or whatever but I was picturing hanging slabs of dismembered cow. Speaking of, how gross is this sign? It was at the fair. I found it revolting for vegan reasons, of course, but do others find this twisted at all? Looking at a living animal and describing him as Hamburger? I think this is something that would have bothered me even when I ate hamburgers.

I don't really understand the sign cagoldi. One of our friends gets 1/4 pig every year. The first year he got it he had a dinner and we went. I couldn't eat a thing and was such a mess about it. This is one of those times that my cognitive dissonance was at a high about the meat thing. He had the party every year now and I refuse to go.

There's a big steer in that shed and they charge you to see him. The sign is weird because instead of saying like, "come look at this giant cow" it says 10,000 hamburgers on hooves, basically. Super weird.
