Tasty

Now don't get excited, this picture taken by Adam Brownfield in a trip out from the west, is me pointing to the back of the pasture to where Tasty was hanging out with the rest of the herd. Tasty's mom (in photo) came over in the hopes that we had treats for her.

Nearer the end of her life, Tasty lost her left horn due to the feeder that she had eaten from the winters of her life. Regardless of the broken horn, she looked a lot like her mom (I realize I don't have a picture of her at all)

Thanks to those who've supported me in my learning, both animal and plant. Especially to 'the farm', Chris and Denise. Check out the new website (in days!) http://manorun.com/

Artistic menu a-la Beth Anne le Ben (although mostly B.A.)
Jessi likening two chickens, as in the curry.

Salad course care of the front yard garden (tomatoes), Jon's garden (cabbage in Kraut), Chick-A-Biddy (beets!) and ManoRun (fermented green bean)

Thus marks a chapter in my relationship with life.
I've now eaten an animal I've raised.
I'm not sure how I feel about it.
But I sure feel alive these days,
and responsible
for the continuation
of life.
