You’ll never guess where I ate lunch

You will never guess.  I mean it is very surreal to me.  I definitely have become a “city” girl.  Well, this isn’t really the place for us “city” girls. 

When Lorri asked me if I wanted to go here for lunch.  I said.. ummmm…  ok.  I’ll try anything. 

I have to say the stinch was pretty bad.  It was a little hard eating my cheeseburger.  But, I managed. 

This is the Sale Barn

Yes, you heard me correctly.  A sale barn.  You city folks are probably thinking what the heck is a sale barn?

Well, a sale barn is a place where people go to sell or buy cattle, well on Thursdays anyway.

So here is a before picture.

Before, (these are Riley cattle)

I have to say those where some good lookin’ cattle.  Those Riley cattle where the best ones there that I saw!  This is the one time a year that they actually get to make their money!  So at this point you are very nervous at how much you are gonna get (per pound). 

Here is the after picture.

AFTER

O yeah, so tell me there is something kinda wrong about munching on a cheeseburger while watching the calves being sold to fatten up and make into hamburger. 

Honestly it was kinda interesting.  It’s funny how the rest of the country really has no idea (including me) how it works here in the “real” world.  Meaning, you don’t really think of how the hamburger, steaks and stuff get on the shelf.  Well it’s thanks to the hard workin’ ranchers. 

So here is a personal thank you to all those folks that work hard to provide us with good AMERICAN beef!
