Mindless Friday - Tiki Time !!! Deb W.

Glenda, I'm glad that you made it home safely.

Bean, behave!!!

Barbara, I'm glad that the talk went better than expected.

I got an unexpected 700lbs of beef this evening.  A friend had a cow struck by lightning, & didn't have a freezer space to accomdate it.  He called me to see if I wanted it because he didn't want it to go to waste.  We have all of it cut up into manageable pieces, & resting in coolers until tomorrow morning when we will get it all cut nicely into edible pieces for both us & the dogs.  The dogs were super excited over fresh, green tripe for dinner tonight.

How much freezer space DOES 700 lbs take up?  Yay for the puppers!  Can any of it be good for the humans as well?

I guess I never thought about how much a cow weighs before

SO, I have to ask - does the fresh stuff smell any better than the canned?

Nicole, we're going to use it for human & dog consumption.  The guy saw it get struck, & we had the meat quartered & in coolers within about an hour of dying, so there's not much of a chance of it being spoiled.  I did do away with some of the ribs on the side where it was struck, because they looked partially cooked. 

All of the meat fit into the 13 cubic foot freezer.  I had to transfer things to different freezers to make it fit, but I got it all in.

Not the stuff I got - it smelled worse (which I hadn't imagined was possible)

Oh no, It'much worse than the canned.
