As I am sure many of you know, it is very hard to let go of a loved one, but it is comforting to know that he is not suffering, and that he is in a much better place than we are. Allan's mom had a pretty rough time, of course, but she came back with us to Colorado for a few weeks and I think that was very helpful. Thank you all so much for your prayers. The Holy Spirit's presence was definitely felt.

If this ole scrawny turkey was the best I could do for Thanksgiving, I am sure we would eat beef. Hopefully you will have a pasture finished bird on your table this year. Nothing better, if you must eat turkey!

We have a few new cuts of beef available - a Flat Iron Steak and an Eye of the Chuck Steak. Both of these cuts come from the prime part of the chuck and are very delicious. The Eye of the Chuck is what I would call an inexpensive Filet. While maybe not quite as tender, it is a darn good steak. The Flat Iron Steak is a little known but wonderful steak. We tenderized some of them as an experiment, so let us know which way you like them. The Eye of the Chuck will be $8.99 per pound and the Flat Irons are $7.99 per pound.

We were very fortunate to find a bull with like genetics to the one that we lost. We are very pleased with him, and are sure he is busy doing his job. Of course we compared him to our old bull and in some ways he is better, some not as good. We are hoping that we will be able to get some bull calves from the cows our first bull impregnated. That would be just perfect and completely round out our program.

Not only that, but because the CLA (conjugated linoleac acid) and the Omega 3's are in the fat, using grass finished beef fat for cooking is actually good for you. So next time you want to cook some french fries, try using the fat from our beef. You will be amazed at how good they are, and you can relax knowing that you have not loaded your body with trans- fats, but have instead loaded it with Omega 3's and CLA.
