Oh yeah... cow is HUGE, and the leather is thick.We thought about buying a cow to butcher.. We currently just purchase a 1/2 cow at a time and are forced to pay the butcher fees.. I think butchers might be thieves because it seems our order is always lighter than we expected.
That pig took two of us 12 hours from kill to being wrapped in the freezer. Seemed like wrapping it was as much work as everything else combined.
What's it like butchering a cow? We used the bottom 1/3 of a 55 gallon drum for that big hog, but I'm thinking a cow might fill an entire drum.
Are they as hard to skin as a pig? I do deer (5 minutes) every year, but that pig (>Hour) was a whole different story.
off the res…Off grid is a pretty wide open topic…
I wish I could find a diesel Massey Ferguson 35 with a loader at a decent price. That'd be my forever tractor.
Thanks Dad…In 98, my dad GAVE AWAY his entire farming equipment inventory including a Massey 6578 Perkins diesel with an ezloader rototiller and a ton of bailing equipment...
Didn't tell me until he'd sold our family farm... to go on a hunting trip...
60 acres in Lancaster SC, with a gold mine on it, a spring fed pond, pecan orchard,peach orchard, 6000sqft shop, with a full length back covered parking shed, and sooo much more.
130K...
And gave away the equipment in the sale...
OMG we had one of these for so many years, great machine. Also had the 880 that absolutly would not start under 50F. You could crank on it all day and just fill the barn up with white smoke. Looking back I think it had had poor compression.
Yep had one of these too but she got traded for the 990.I wish I could find a diesel Massey Ferguson 35 with a loader at a decent price. That'd be my forever tractor.
