Not your typical day in the office...

In case you haven’t heard, I’m in Canada now. I drove down to the Olds office (from Wetaskiwin) this morning. Just after lunch, Trevor called, and said that there was a steer down over at Mile’s farm (1/2 mile away.) It was either kill and dress it out today, or forget the whole thing. So JRC and I went over to take care of the dirty work.
I was a little earlier than JRC, and helped Miles finish giving the last of the vaccination shots. The he helped us with taking care of this steer. Sure was nice to have his help - especially the front-end loader!
So there we are, working in the mud, trying to get the hide off and the guts out. All in all it went just fine. The temperature was just perfect (~40°f / 5°c) for this sort of thing - not too cold, not too hot. I think there will be at least a couple hundred pounds of hamburg on this one. But that’ll will have to be determined later, once we get the grinder going.
About 6:30 we were all finished (showered and all). But my hands still smell through~!
