I figure seen as most are quite happy to dress up as gory half slaughtered victims or as mass murderers themselves for the celebration of Halloween, then the following pictures shouldn't upset anyone, right?
Its only a steer without his skin on!!
To us these pics are quite healthy and part of normal life so don't go getting all hysterical and animal lovin' on me.
Besides isn't Halloween the celebration of death and the darker side of life?
This is nothing like that, its just good tucker in the process of being processed :)
Cody helping Shane just get the last of the skin and the head off. He did a good job helping skin one side with me while Shane did the other. Made the job alot quicker.
Cai and Gypsy watching on. Cai full of commentary about the "moo", mainly that "moo got owies' and Gypo I am sure was just hanging round hoping for a hand out! She did eventually get thrown the tail but only the last few inch's. Shane don't waste much when it comes to food.
ooooh, another treasure for a boy to keep!! The bullet dug out of the steers head!
Job done, now hanging in the chiller to be cut up next weekend. I promise there will be no more photos as I will be flat out bagging and labeling while Shane cuts it up. Looking forward to some more mince, sausages and steaks in our freezer.
If you are wondering where Chey is in all of this, she was away on a Girl Guide camp. She'll be shattered when she gets home but I know she would of had the best time and will be chatting non stop about it.
A final inspection from the head gnome. Hope you all have had a fabulous weekend.

PS Bella, I am hoping that if you still haven't gone into labour, that this may very well cause it ;-)
