It’s mind blowing bro, only cattle though, never any other ranch animal that I’m aware of. Apparently aliens are fans of Rocky Mountain oysters.

Fuarrrck that's exciting. What a chad that bull must be. Stud fee must've been pricey compared to a AFC stud?

I bought him outright bro, as with all my bulls. He wasn’t too expensive, idk if I’d call him a Chad, wagyus are small, definitely Manlets of the cattle world.

It happens once every few years, hasn’t happened in awhile now that I think about it. I remember the first time I saw one, it happened a few miles from where I grew up. Was hard to comprehend at that age, I think I was probably 5 or 6.

Damn.. I'd down a couple pints with your wagyu for sure! Who knows, maybe if you stud him out he can pay for his own beers too LOL

I have small farm with 40 head of cattle on it

Nothing beats fresh grass fed beef… except maybe the fresh air, shooting and riding quad bikes

Mirin OP, sounds like a cool life (srs).

Steak looks really good. You dry age it for that long to create a crust over it right? Isn't that a preservation technique people could use after butchering before refrigeration? I imagine it's easier to do in a drier climate. Here in Texas you'd have to find the rare day in winter to do it or else it'd rot I bet lol

Been getting our meat from a local CSA for almost 5 years now and the quality is insane compared to any local supermarket. Their beef is 2+yrs, they have some that are older, they call them Eurostyle and they're aged even longer post-butcher. Their pork is all pastured in various orchards for better flavors (they're Berkshire pigs). Best part is they're the coolest people

My beef goes straight from rendering into my walk in cooler. This isn’t a traditional salt block dry age but I do that as well. I want to start butchering my own pork as well, we had pigs growing up and I’d like to get back into them. The industry is completely industrialized so they aren’t worth hardly anything but I’d like to fatten them up to eat and run through my steakhouse. The cool part about pigs is they never stop growing so I could potentially end up with some t bone sized pork chops.

The gravel business has been insane this year, my gravel company has just surpassed the $2,500,000 mark, including trucking. I’m very thankful for the opportunity to have this business, blows my mind to think I almost didn’t pursue it because I wasn’t sure if it would be profitable.

Ah okay, forgot about the use of a cooler, derp. That's be legit with the pork for yourself. Congrats on the gravel biz - that's legit!

Cot damn my brah how many employees do you have doing gravel for you? Glad to hear it's so profitable. Also when you say your steakhouse, do you mean you have a steakhouse restaurant or is that rancher terminology for wholesaling?

I employ 8 full time guys, 2 running machinery and 6 running trucks.

When I say steakhouse I mean eating joint. Opened it in June of ‘19. It’s a great business as well, I throughly enjoy my time in the steakhouse. I never get tired of people raving about the quality of the meat, it lets me know I’m doing something right. I’m lucky enough to have some very capable and dedicated employees.

6 small businesses in addition to the ranch. The tren comes in little pellets though, available all of the veterinarian shops around here.

I agree it's aliens, I can't come up with anything else. My family had a dairy in southern Mississippi, used to see that happen, seriously crazy shiet. It's like surgery was performed in the middle of the pasture with lasers or something.

I’ve seen a few YouTube videos that attempt to debunk these stories as just animals dying of natural causes and being eaten by scavengers but as a guy that’s spent 36 years living on a ranch I’ve seen every which way scavengers eat on dead animals and the mutilation instances are absolutely not that.
Do you think it's aliens?
