Ours is similar to # 1, but I’m DROOLING over # 2! :)
Hope everyone had a nice Easter. We had dinner at my Sister’s and it was lovely. She’s a good cook and we came home with plenty of leftovers. Score! :)
Yesterday was pretty much consumed with freezer prep - ‘Chuck’ came back from ‘The Spa’ in nice little packages, so we re-arranged things and he’s all tucked away for our future beef-eating enjoyment.
Chuck finished at close to 1500 pounds. Hanging weight was 790 pounds. Processing was less than we expected at 96-cents per pound. Beau didn’t do all the math concerning the feed we put into him from December through March (grain and hay) but he was on pasture the bulk of the time we had him (17 months; he was 2 months old when we got him and paid $300 for him - Angus/Holstein cross - 19 months when butchered.)
He was $3.50/pound combined for finished product, all cuts from hamburger to roasts, thick steaks, stew meat, etc. Beau saw Porterhouse steaks at the butcher shop where Chuck was processed going for $20/pound!
All in all, it was a much better deal to grow our own. We would NEVER pay those kinds of prices for beef in the first place. We still have bear, elk and some fish in the freezer, too. Just sausage and a few pork steaks left from the 1.2 hog we bought last October. Beau leaves for Canada in June for more fishing, so clearing that out takes priority and some of the trout is going to his friend who will smoke it for us. We had a big Fish Fry on Good Friday. Walleye. Yum!
And that’s the ‘Local Meat Report’ from SW Wisconsin. :)

Those are beautiful. It can double as a solarium lounge. I never thought of that. Cool. My first greenhouse will be smaller, cheaper for learning. 🙂
