Butcher Time!!!




                                          Saturday kept us busy helping Grandpa Wells
                                          butcher his beef. We began at 8:00am and
                                          finished at 2:00pm.


                                         We did the butchering right here in our new
                                          kitchen! Even though we had a saw, grinder
                                          and all those knives in the house we did not
                                          do any damage as far as we can see.:)
                                          In this pic. we are skinning the meat so it will
                                          be clean. If you look in the background you
                                          can see Dad and Joe cutting T-bones.



                                          Break Time! I have to say it looks nasty and
                                          messy but our meat really is clean.:) It is a
                                          big  job getting the mess cleaned up.
                                     


                                                     Mom is holding up a shoulder steak.
                                                     She wraps the meat in plastic and then
                                                     gives it to one of us to wrap in paper,
                                                     tape and label.



                                          Some of the labeled packages.

A freezer full of meat, that is a good feeling. I can't imagine doing this, but glad that you all know how.
