Nothing says we got this right than repeat customers! We love getting to see folks again, visiting again, and providing them with even more of their very own home grown meat. Last time we went, we did a collection of pigs and some sheep for these families. This time, we processed a large bull for them, producing a lot of beef. This bull went to many different families for food. One family grew the bull. The other family paid for the slaughter. They split the bull in half, right down the middle! And then those halves were split even further between siblings, children, etc, the meat going to many different households. This is what cowshares can do! Nobody had to have a huge amount of freezer space. Nobody had to shoulder the entire cost all by themselves. And everybody got some awesome, delicious, healthy food. Hats off to y'all, you got this figured out!

We also got the opportunity to drive this living legend, a rolling piece of art. Fabulous, I hope she keeps going for many more decades! The old man drove the tractor to pick up the bull, and we got to drive the jeep to pull the bull from the pens to the slaughter wagon. We are told it is a 69.

After everything was all said and done, we all sat down for a wonderful lunch made of home made bread from a recipie we shared (and they made it better than we did!) and some pulled pork from the pigs we did last trip. It was a wonderful meal and a wonderful visit. Clients aren't just clients. More often than not, they become like family.
