I was told since I didn't bleed it out shortly after it died the meat wouldn't be salvageable. Of course, one of my other friends told me to dress it and pack it with snow...?

 

If you want it come get it.

Well I already drink ramen juice so how bad could it be? I stayed pretty clean really.

okay, NWS maybe pics up in pics and vids

 

Cow pics

 

The hay has been in our barn for a good 6 months or so, so I don't think it would be damp. Interesting about the bloat though.

Don't make fun of me, I haven't done this before and really wasn't in the mood.

I hit the shitter after I got the meat I wanted off that side. Man it sprayed! Luckily I had lightweight on and I ninja-dodged.

Nope. It had been dead a few hours, was still warm and limber. It was steaming pretty good cutting into it too. Choked on hay, they are really aggressive eaters.

 

I don't know why I can't freeze it. I'd guess something about not bleeding it right away maybe? I don't know, but it's been outside and that's where it will stay until I can bury it tomorrow afternoon.

Okay, Vet says the dumbass choked, so I don't have to worry about zombie-cow. He told me just to cut the meat off from around the spine, stick it in the fridge and eat all I could for the next week. He advised against freezing it unless I was giving it to dogs, and my wife definitely won't allow that. Anyone want pics?

we bought ours for $800 and sold for $1200. Good investment.

I assume I can take the bloodwork to any vet? I definitely don't want to get dead cow disease, but I also don't want to waste hundreds of pounds of cow meat when I'm kinda poor. Hardware disease, like it ate something that stuck it? They do eat everything.

no magnets. They did get exposed to some horses yesterday though.

Well, I'm a little worried the other cows may start keeling over, but I don't get the feeling he was sick since he was eating, active and such. I can't even imagine the loonies that c CL add would draw haha. Maybe last resort.

Haha, I wish it were that. Yeah, it's sad and kind of shitty but I don't want him to go to waste. Anyone?

So one of my cows just died, a little guy about a year old maybe? So we can't get a hold of any butchers and I'm having a bitch of a time finding someone to come dress it or show me how to dress it. I don't even know if I can eat it or not, but I don't want the meat to spoil or whatever. I'm right in the middle of about 3 different things right now or I'd google it. Anyway, it's out here just outside Dublin if anyone wants to come out. I'll pay you in cash, or meat.

 

I think the fuckin thing choked or something. He was fine this morning and afternoon, and he was eating and drinking. Then he just died.

Damn, $1300? Just FYI you can get a good running entry level AR15 around $600 not even really looking too hard. Thumbs up for trying before you buy though.

if you join the civilian marksmanship program you can get the .30 carbine in bulk at a highly discounted rate

 

But it's still has crappy stopping power. A thompson would be better in every way other than they're heavy as hell, tricky to clean, and expensive. A joy to shoot, very quiet, no recoil... just like a heavy .22.

The ammo will kill you. I mean, monetarily. Especially full auto, burning through $12/mag gets expensive quick.

you don't want a .30 carbine for anything medium range, and a thompson is even worse. Not to mention they'll be inadequate against even a lightly armored enemy.

 

Oh, you should be able to get garands in the $450-$600 range unless CMP went crazy. I have two- one service and one rack grade. I would trust my life with either within 300 yards.

Depending on what caliber your bolt gun is you may want an assault rifle in that caliber, because that's one less caliber you have to buy/have on hand. You can get a solid AK for about $400 now, and a good solid AR for $600. The ammo for both will run you $220/1000 roughly right now, and either will suit your needs. They are completely different animals, so shoot before you buy. Be nice to Chris and maybe he'll bring you over to shoot sometime.

 

You seem like a decent guy, so I'll be happy to help you buy/build a rifle that will fit your needs and get you pointed in the right direction for some training. I have owned thompson, m1 carbine, garands, and mini-30 but none of those are going to be competitive with an AR/AK for the price.

hold a level on it and compare against the other side.

Bummer. Did they offer to align your johnson rod for you too?

Get some Audi wheels. I have yet to bend one even after wrecking multiple control arms and a subframe, cutting tires, and jumping curbs at 40mph head on. Steelie fail?

They can also be had online. Tons and tons of people make them, good forged and cheap. You'll be looking at anywhere from $50-$110 stripped.

I can't help but see the irony that you've been talking about your awesome snow-driving capabilities lately, and then this happens. BTDT

Yes. You should take pictures if possible, and hold said officer completely respoinsible. They have to obey traffic laws too, and a failure to control should get him 4 points just like it gets me.

Yeah, you need to update your shit. It's free and won't take too long.

My point exactly. Only gays get married.

 

That makes both your parents gay, and you the gay love-child.:D:D

 

Nice of Chuck Norris to leave your typing fingers intact.
