Friday night, the Amish and Tom put two bulls down.   The first was for them, the second for friends and us.  They had raised the cows but were very generous and shared half with us for helping them in different times of need.

 

Tom started out with the reciprocal saw to make the pieces manageable.  Then Jess fired up the  meat saw and he continued on from there. 

You can see how Ken had to hold the half up in the rafters as it was so heavy.

Good sized beef!

 

George had butchered a lot in his time and was great help in administrating guidance in just where to make the cuts and what they were for.

 Steak!  Steak!   Steak!

Bag!  Bag! Bag!

Then it was yum, yum, yum  when I took a few smaller pieces that were left and put them on the George Forman for dinner.   Real Meat!
