Grass Fed Beef

[djunkie]

I'm trying to get my sister to split the 100 pounds with me. I just don't have that much room in my freezer with all the vodka in there.

Funny story. My first year I went back deer hunting with the family when I got there my cousins played it up that I may not get one. It's a bit of a competition in the family on who gets one, or the biggest etc. Well they kept giving me shit that I probably wouldn't have the nerve to pull the trigger on one. Well needless to say first morning out my dad shoots a really nice 8 pointer. Big deer too. He was walking around with his chest puffed out all proud of his nice trophy. So I go back out in the afternoon to my blind. Not seeing anything and the sun is going down. I'm just about ready to pack it up and I see this massive doe jump out into the field I'm sitting in. My license was an either or one (means I can shoot a male or female) so I raise my rifle cause I was thinking there's a lot of meat on that bitch. Lol. Well right before I pull the trigger out jump this huge buck. It was a little over 150 yards out but I could tell it was big. I slide my rifle over and bang!!! The things turns and takes off, jumps a fence, and heads down into a ravine. Well I thought I missed it so I pack up and start walking out of the field towards where they were. When I get there I see a huge puddle of blood. I started shaking. Followed the blood drop for a while and decided I was gonna need help. Go back to the farm house and get my cousin and my brother who had just come in. We go back out in the dark to look for it. After climbing down the ravine with flashlights my brother finds it. His first words were "did you shoot a cow?". It was big. Lol. Took 4 of us an hour to drag it about 50 yards up that hill. We barely could get it into the truck. When we got back to the house my dad was there waiting cause someone called him to let him know I got one. He had been at the bar celebrating his kill. Lol. Well when he saw it he gave me that "you punk kid" look. It dressed out at over 250lbs. That's big for a white tail. My brother ended up getting one the next day. Well on the way home we had to call my mom to go buy new freezers for everyone. My parents got a big standup freezer and sh bought 2 of these smaller ones. One for me and one for my brother. It topped them all off with all the deer meat.

I haven't been back in a few years now. Seasons approaching fast so not sure if I'll make it back this year. I need to talk to my brother and dad about it. If they're gonna go I might just fly back there so I won't miss much work.

Between the venison, beef, and mulberries you just need to move to Iowa.

Grass fed beef is just a new marketing ploy to raise beef prices. All beef used to be grass fed. They were range animals, which made the beef stringy. Corn fed beef replaced them because they could bring the feed to the steer so the beef was more tender ( less muscle since they didn't move around). Now with the organic push they are back to grass fed. They may only feed them hay, but its no better than feeding them organic corn without the steroids. The major difference is that grass usually ends up on the ground where the steer walks on it, deficates on it, urinates on it, and then eats it. Check out what really goes on in feed lots before you decide how healthy grass fed beef really is.

I know I really need to move.

I don't want to misrepresent my intentions...it's not for health reasons, it's Bc it is delicious! I'm lucky I live alone and don't have kids BC what I spend on groceries is unreal. I'm a total food lover. On the inside I'm a 400 pound chick. :( Fat Eli Rules!
