Wow, Chuck has really grown since the last picture I saw of him, which was when you got him as a little calf. He is one good looking steer and I was so inspired that I made grass-fed Ribeyes for dinner tonight! LOL!

The first pony that I got when I was 12 was one that we could tie out to eat grass in the yard. She was pretty good at keeping her feet from being tangled up in the rope. I would love to have a steer; however, our fences are in such poor shape with some sections down on the ground or missing, it would take major repair work to fix it so we could keep animals in the pasture.

My niece, who started regenerative farming with meat chickens & hogs, has added 4 steers this Spring. If the steers go well as a project (& they can add more fence), they will be raising a larger herd in the near future & then I can buy a half or whole steer from them.

Nothing better than grass-fed Chuck! Glad you have access to it, too. ;)

Beau got a nice 22# Turkey, yesterday - I’ll add some photos later and ping ya.

We got the flooring poured in the barn to expand usable area. By the time we get the coop finished, eggs should be back down to 99-cents a dozen, LOL!
