906

For those of you who know me, you know I am not a huge fan of beef.  The flavor and texture have never been a favorite of mine.  You can imagine my dismay as I was informed we were one of four couples splitting a quarter of a cow between us.  But, after meeting the local farmer who raised our beef, and hearing about what he was fed, this beef doesn't sound so bad.

Cow 906 was a small steer, birthed from a mother who failed to get pregnant after 6 months of attempts.  She was at the butcher when he realized she was in fact pregnant, and Jenny Sabo (local farmer featured in this short film) put her back in the truck and brought her home to green Montana pastures. 

My freezer is full of beef, but I know exactly where it came from.  The cost for the beef seen above?  $96.   I can't wait to see how it tastes!
