Jenn, it is quite remarkable how much Aly looks like you when you were little!! It is uncanny! I enjoy keeping up with your family on your blog. I check it every morning (now there is some pressure to keep it updated!!). I also wanted to ask how much you paid for your 1/2 cow... I used to do that years ago and was wondering what the costs were like now...
Love, Aunt Pam

Aunt Pam,
Yes, Aly certainly is a mini-me. Our Opi likes to call her junior. I know for my parents it's like watching me as a little girl all over again. Glad you are enjoying my blog, it's a great way to keep up with everyone since we are scattered all over the midwest!

We actually split a 1/2 cow with another family b/c 1/4 lasts us about a year. This time around our cow was a little bigger than last time. Our 1/4 was 220 lbs. I paid $341 for the beef and then $100 for processing so it averaged out to about $2.00 per pound. The $2 per pound was for hamburger, roasts, filets, strips, ribeye and sirloin - they are all great cuts. Let me know if you are ever interested. Our friends' dad raises the cattle on his farm in St. Joe, I like knowing where my beef has come from!
Love,
Jenn
