A day with my hubby and a 1/2 of a cow...

Yes, the title is right..

My husbands work, offers thier employees a

great deal on cattle that they raise..

they sell it for like $2 per pound..

so we purchased a 1/2 of a cow,,,

So we got up this morning and drove

about 2 hours away for our beef...

The trip was very nice..

John works long hours at his job, so a couple

of hours on the road together was nice..

We got to talk , joke around an laugh a bit..

The land we passed on our way up was beautiful..

Here is a horse farm..

And yes.. dont adjust your eyes..

this ole barn is leaning..big time...

When we got to the butcher..

I had the most fun watching this cute little cat..

He was laying under this tree , and one bird

just kept swooping down and pecking him on the butt..

in this picture he is meowing at the bird..

he came over and let me pet him....

How cute is he...

old farm land

and i just love this picture..

look at all those boots lined up,,,

just ready to go to work...

I heard a rooster crow..

( I love Roosters )

I have never lived in a place where i could have one

but I do love them,

so i got out and started following his call

And just about the time I spotted the rooster

I heard a snorting noise coming at me...

and look what was coming at me...

this huge but cute piggy...

He was disappointed though..

He thought I had a treat for him.. :(

Lots of Corn field... 

As we heading home..

There are lots of fires going on right now around here

and one road got reallllll smokey..

and the smell was terrible..

I feel sorry for the people who live around there..

Well we loaded up..

the butcher cut us up, Roast, Steaks, ground beef,

cube steaks.. etc...

It was a fun and productive day..

And now Im off to marinade a couple of steaks for dinner..

Yummo...
