We picked up our beef today. A steer that weighed 1,150 pounds yielded 663 pounds of hanging weight. A friend took 1/8, another friend took 1/4 and Nicole is going to take 1/8. My freezers are full. Bring on cold temperatures so I can bake a roast.
It was a bit of a job when we got home to sort and count all that beef so I could divide it up evenly. Trusting I didn’t short anyone.
The final cost was close to $2.00 a pound. Not bad considering all the steaks and roasts I have in additional to lots of 90/10 hamburger. It was much higher than last year’s price but worth it. I’m anxious to fix some of it soon and taste it.
Didn’t get much else done today. I didn’t sleep well last night and am tired today. Maybe tonight will be the night that I sleep well
Jim has a doctor’s appointment in Emporia tomorrow but I don’t have anything on my calendar. I do need to start pulling some things together for the trip. We leave a week from tomorrow.
I called about the TROPP forms but had to leave a message and I haven’t heard back from them. Not sure why I am having so much trouble getting those.
I ordered a shirt on-line and when I paid for it I noticed they charged $7.99 sales tax for an item that cost $22.99. I sent a note to them to tell them if they can’t fix that then I want to cancel my order. Over 30% sales tax is unacceptable.
Still working with the company that I used to get my notary supplies. You are required to be bonded and the bond they sent me didn’t have the correct dates on it. I sent my certificate from the state but the bond hasn’t been corrected yet. Sometimes it is the little things that drive me batty.
We have only gotten sprinkles off and on today and no measurable rain. North of us got lots of rain. We were close but no cigar. We sure could use a day or two of rain. Still have rain in the forecast but not looking good at this point.
Grateful for full freezers of beef, grateful for friends that take my extra beef, and grateful for a cooler temperature day.
