Love of my life……..not sure who’s having more fun!
Happy Anniversary to my loving husband, Fred. It’s been a fast-moving, wonderful 29 years so far. Marriage is wonderful vocation and I’m so glad God fixed us up. All I can add is, thank God I have an extremely patient husband! (I used a calculator to see how many years it has been; that’s how fast the years flew by)
Fred with some of the grandchildren and Isabella. Happy Anniversary……..29 years!
1400 Pounds of the finest beef around!
We took advantage of the good weather and decided to butcher our beef. This is a Jersey cross beef. Monday we will package it all up for the upcoming summer barbeque season. Will you be there to join us?
Splitting the beef in half with an electric saw.
A couple of weeks ago we butchered two more hogs. Delicious! We made some Italian Sausage and it turned out pretty good. The kids tried out a few different recipes. Next on the list to purchase for our butcher shop is, a large sausage stuffer and a bigger meat grinder. I think it would be worth the investment. Having purchased all the equipment over the years has allowed us to save thousands of dollars, and enabled us to process everything at home. And I mean everything!
This Italian Sausage took three kids to put together!
That’s me packaging chops. I love this job and usually get way too silly before it’s half way over!
Salt brine makes great side pork soaked for 4 days.
Side pork cut and packaged with love, by me!

We were hoping for a nice heifer calf but instead this baby bull calf was born. He’s so cute, it’s hard not to be happy, right? He’s a picture of health all around. The girls have a halter on him already so that he’ll get used to wearing one. They enjoy training oxen to pull!
Healthy baby bull calf clean enough to snuggle with!
I have a bunch more photos to post but it’s getting late and mass is at 8:30 a.m. I’ll be back with more soon. Have a wonderful day!
