We kept him at my aunt's farm. I got to pet him. We named him Sirlion... he was delicious! :) True story. I told that to Mary once right after I found out she was a vegitarian and she almost stopped talking to me. My parents bought a steer once when I was a kid. We kept him at my aunt’s farm.

What one can learn by snooping in the private lives of others. My thought about those neck bones is that they would be great for making soup or beef stock. All that hamburger and chuck roast has me drooling. If I were part of this consortium the rest of you could draft all the "choicer cuts" with my blessing. I"m reminded of thirty years ago when my sister and her husband gave me half a pig as a wedding present. There was a bit of bacon, a few pork chops, a couple of pork roasts, and a lot of ham. Unfortunately we did not have a freezer and we ate ham until we were thoroughly sick of it, even after giving some of it away. Good Heavens!

Pollan's book is amazing and I've certainly been, uh, Pollanated as far as trying to eat locally sourced, sustainable foods goes. I'll make sure to lend you my copy next time we all get together, if you haven't already read it. Good call on The O’s D.

If you're thinking about these things it is THE book to read. It is very thoughtful and well written. Just out of curiosity where did your cow come from and what factors went in to picking the rancher you chose? Have you read the Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan?
