::cow::


This is a picture from the day we went to pick up our cow.
We raised him and fed him and did not name him.
And he is now...


And I don't want to do it again.  
Raising animals for food it not for me. 
From now on we will raise a cow at my brother in laws and just get our cut of that cow.
I don't want any more food animals at my house.
I am still glad we did it. 
We know he was raised and slaughtered humanely.
But still... 
I don't want to know my food that closely.

  1. I know what you mean. I grew up with my parents doing it and it was fine then. Now we've talked about getting a cow, but I KNOW I would get attached to the darn thing.

  2. Funny you should post this. My husband just picked up our 1/4 cow (raised on my brother-in-law's farm), just this morning. It's even packaged exactly like in your photos.

  4. HAHAHAHA That is so funny my dad pretty much does the same thing and he always takes a pitcure of them first. And then when he has people over and they are eating he bust out the picture and shows them, so sad. But he names them.
