A Half of a Cow

A Half of a Cow

Well, we've gone and done it.  We've invested in a half of a cow. Holy moly. After last January's purchase of a quarter of a cow, we decided to move forward and move up in the ordering department.  So, about 2 months ago, we placed our order with D&R Ranch again and waited patiently to be called to set our cut…
