What do veterans and stock show kids have in common?

Discipline.
Resilience.
Integrity.
Grit.
Service.
Honor.

Both know early mornings, long days, and doing hard things because it matters.
Both give their all to something bigger than themselves.

But only one group has carried that same commitment into battle, protecting the freedom that lets the rest of us chase our own kind of purpose. 🇺🇸

Today, we stand with deep respect and gratitude for those who’ve served. Thank you, veterans.

Had a fun DQ pop up! And thankfully on a non showable colored kit.

This is a Screw Tail vs a normal sibling! Screw Tails are a DQ, and definitely shouldn't be bred. It is a malformation of the spine.

It is the only one in a litter of 8, the dams litter sister was also bred to the same buck with 8 normal tailed kits. I was already planning to re-breed her the same way and we'll see if another pops up. I'll also make a note in my records.

Gyro Meatballs & Tzatziki Sauce

These little lamb protein powerhouses have been my go to this week. I love them cold from the fridge or diced into scrambled eggs, or on a traditional naan.
Make in a large batch and freeze for future meals.

1 pound ground lamb
1/4 cup breadcrumbs or pork rinds
1 large egg
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Preheat oven to 425°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the meatball ingredients and form into meatballs about, 2 tablespoons of the mixture per meatball. I pan sear my meatballs before baking, about 15 minutes.

I saw yet another post about beef prices. I'd like to put that price into perspective.

I believe my friends at Burley’s Harvest Market sell their ground beef for $7 per pound.

Figuring up some junk food prices per pound:

Lay's potato chips - 43 cents per ounce = $6.88/lb

Oreos - 30 cents per ounce = $4.80/lb

Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes - 34 cents per ounce = $5.44/lb

Lunchables - 58 cents per ounce = $9.28/lb

Ritz bits - 45 cents per ounce = $7.20/lb

Meanwhile....

Whole fresh carrots - $1.32/lb

Potatoes - 50 cents/lb

Apples - $1/lb

LOCAL GROUND BEEF - $7/LB

Our pastured, non-gmo [fed] chicken - $5/lb

Or better yet, grow your own vegetables.

These prices were pulled from Walmart's app today.

The price of beef is not the problem. Importing beef if not a solution. Stop eating boxed junk food and your grocery bill will plummet. Eat foods that nourish your body and you'll eat less volume. Also, don't trust the government...worth mentioning again 🤣

You think beef is too expensive….

You should buy the cow…
buy the infrastructure….
keep up the infrastructure….
buy the quality feed for them….
feed in -40°F when you can’t feel your nose or toes….
fix fence in 100°F getting eaten by mosquitos….
and hope they don’t die before you get a return….
