[QUOTE="Bez!, post: 185585, member: 2830"] I figure this should go on the Coffee Shop, but seems like they all end up on the Beginners Board. I like to think I am not a beginner, but I do learn a whole bunch of new stuff every day - so here goes: Sure seems like a pile of folks want to know how much you paid for this animal or that animal - most expensive, least expensive and so on. Half the time it's none of their business. I figured if they needed to know, I would probably just tell them. Then again I have been known to actually just give the odd one away. Usually to some kid starting out or some local kids looking to raise money for a school project or just to give a family going through some tough times a chance to have a few bits of beef for the upcoming winter. Money has been scarce around here for the past three years, but we always have all the food we can handle - so we tend to pass a bit out now and then when we see a spot it might be needed. Anyone here ever give one away? And I am NOT talking about getting a kick in the @ss at the sale barn. 8) Unless I miss my guess, there are a few hard nosed S.O.B.'s out there that have probably given at least one away. Must be at least one or two stories out there. Sometimes that favour comes back in some strange ways. Last year a fellow came by here one day to drop off a couple of moose steaks and a roast. I did not know who he was until he told me his mom and dad fed him and his family some of my "free" beef three years ago. This was when he was hard down on his luck. I did not even know about him - just his folks. He was back on his feet - so were his folks - and he wanted to say thanks. Go figure. Seemed like a nice enough fellow - I sure know his folks are - and the moose was well prep'd. Tasted real good too. Regards Bez! [/QUOTE]
