Brutus the Bull!

Back in the fall Dad and a friend of ours bought a bull. He was
dubbed Brutus. After he did what he was bought for, we butchered him.
Dad and Josiah went to our friend's house to enjoy the process.

Brutus was a big boy!

Dad used a saws-all for some of the cutting.

Josiah said the worse part was that the meat was frozen
and all he had on his hands were latex gloves.

It took them all day to cut up the meat, and when they got
home around 8:00 P.M. Mom, Gram, Asa, Dad, Josiah and I all
packaged meat until 12:00 or so! It was a long night!

So far we have really enjoyed the meat and the fact that
it is "home grown."
