And That's No Bull...or is it?

I need to post a few of my one hundred and one Easter pictures, but I had to update all the fun we had today first. We finally got our bull butchered, and here is the result. It was quite the two hour chore to get all the meat in from the van, then down to the deepfreeze, not to mention that meant cleaning both freezers out first to fit it all. But we will be missing our dear bull, his spoiled tantrums when Tyler would leave for work without graining him and he would pout around the yard until I would go out and lure him back in the pen with grain, but mostly I will miss the twins' fear of the bull, because I got a lot done with him around. I could leave the house by myself six or seven times a day to take garbage out or any small chore without a tear from them, if I said those magic words, "I'm going to feed the bull, stay here."

Holy cow! I love that you got one last picture of your dear bovine friend before he was sent to the basement.
I went to the doctor yesterday and I told Xander that he could take one friend with him, meaning his stuffed friends. He thought for a minute and said that he would like to take Paige. It's too bad we don't live closer, because I really would have taken her with me.

Oh how I loved those days of deep cleaning the freezer to fit all the various meats. You know me...that's about the closest I like to come to cows. :)
