Our oldest son, Bill, and his wife are getting a hindquarter, we are keeping a hindquarter and we pre-sold the front two quarters. The cash from the front two quarters paid back a whole lot of the feed that steer ate ($720 buys a lot of feed). Bill pays for the cutting and wrapping of the hindquarters in exchange for plenty of cheap meat. The total cost was only $240 for butchering, cutting, wrapping, and freezing and our share is $120 after Bill pays for his part. So we feel that it was a good deal, all in all! I&#8217;m thawing out two T-bone steaks right now.

(Distemper is an awful killer of both dogs and cats&#8230;as are the other diseases the vaccine protects against.
