Lady's Meat
Last Wednesday we collected Lady's meat from the butcher - all 175kg (sample weighed and estimated) of it. We almost filled the large freezer in the shed and had to bring some inside to the laundry freezer. Plus of course we ate some scotch fillet that night (and t-bones the next night) - meat heaven. Even though I used to think Patch was a big animal, Lady was much bigger. Patch yielded 143kg of meat. Lady's carcass was 314.2kg and in all it cost us $427.04 (including abattoir and freight) to have her butchered, hung and packaged. Lady was about 140kg of bones, which was roughly the same proportion of bone as Patch.
