Here’s the beef

I was looking through old posts and found this one posted over a year ago that made me laugh. It makes reference to the Chino slaughter house case and discusses one of my favorite foods: beef. But as was the case over one year ago, the whole reason for the post is the picture at the end.
So I was talking about beef…

Apparently you shouldn’t buy beef from Chino and you probably want to make sure any surface area is cooked real good, but those issues aside, there is nothing like a good serving of beef.
It is a good source of B vitamins and minerals. If it has been grass finished it even has a bit of Omega 3 as well. It still doesn’t come anywhere near salmon in the Omega-3 department but, last I checked, there is no such thing as a salmon hamburger. (I’ve had salmon burgers mind you and they just aren’t the same.) Mom’s Moroccan beef recipe is also a winner around here.
But the real reason for posting about beef in addition to meeting my daily obligation, is to post this picture. I have tried to get a picture of this bad boy for four years but have never had the camera at the right moment. Last year, he was right near the fence as I drove by with my camera. I stopped the car, found a great position for the photo, and the camera failed. For the last year I have talked about him as my “nemesis.” It should always be this easy to win against your adversaries. In this case it just took a working camera and some new grass.
And just as an aside, maybe it’s because I am not really into showy types, but seeing a bull like this makes me wonder how this particular herd manages to reproduce itself year after year. For me, those horns would be enough to inspire chastity.
