Beef
Posted: Thursday 29 September, 2011
We've been given the opportunity to buy a castrated Shetland bull calf so we've decided to take it. This means we get prime beef for the freezer a year earlier than we had planned. Actually, two years earlier, because the breeder has a steer going for slaughter this month and we're buying some of that.
We asked for a rib roast for our Solstice dinner but because the beast is over thirty months, she thinks that all bones will have to be removed, despite the fact that he came from Shetland and has only been on her farm. Hey ho, rules is rules, I suppose, but Tess, Meg and Fillan will be disappointed.
No "action" from Viking this week so far, so CorrieDhu and I have our fingers and toes crossed. And that's all I'm saying on the subject.
