I am a bit of a coward where that is concerned. One look in those big brown eyes and I would be a confirmed vegetarian. Doesn't matter how many times I watch River Cottage and the like, I still couldn't even kill a chicken. You have grown the cattle as food and have the courage of your convictions. A respectful and humane death is more than most livestock get. I wish you well with the process.Suzie Simplelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02724120590247226633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957074720324686869.post-71362645063428795212014-06-26T08:58:50.970+10:002014-06-26T08:58:50.970+10:00Thanks for the menu planning link Fiona.

I love the way you named your cows Freezer 1 and Freezer 2 so cute and whilst you know the purpose for their upbringing animals do tend to have a way to feel like family and it's because we are emotional humans it will still be a little sad. Hope it all goes well. Regards Kathy A, BrisbaneKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278810299840471966noreply@blogger.com
