brought the calf home today

Austin Egghead

Been a busy day. Got up early and met #1 son and grandson in Temple and drove over to the meat market in Westphalia to pick up or part of the calf. 
Thanks to Kelley and Bruce we had enough coolers to transport the meat to Dallas. Egg people are so generous. 
Most of the meat will stay in the freezer in Dallas (another good excuse to go up and see the grandkids) 

We brought about 30 pounds home and we cooked a t-bone steak on the mini tonight. Very little seasoning, just S&P with little garlic powder. Very clean flavor and very tasty. 

While at the market ran into a rancher that raises heirloom pigs. He was a hoot, said he didn't eat pork just beef, but he loves to raise pigs...go figure

Thanks everyone. There is going to be a learning curve on the proper cooking technique on this young calf. The brisket is going to be interesting. We had it left whole and it so lean and tiny compared to what you see at the market.

You have any before and after shots of the cow? Well, I guess you posted the after already.
