Those of you who have followed www.animistbridgesforchrist.blogspot.com will have some awareness that my life took an unexpected turn last February. I was down in Colombia South America doing language consulting for Global Recordings Network-- An occupation that I did for over ten years after graduating from college and specialized linguistic training in 1965. It is a mission that I love "telling the story of Jesus in every language". (Actually 6,586 right now.)
Anyway, I got a call to go back to headquarters in Temecula, California to help look for a director. The long and the short of it is that I became that Executive Director and am now fully engaged in national and international administration. I told the board on taking that position that I had commitments to my beef customers which I would have to fulfill in October. They agreed to that.
It is very clear that I will not be able to stay in the cattle business. This will almost certainly be the last year I can process beef. There is a possibility that family members can keep up that tradition but that is by no means a sure thing. You will certainly be informed if that is the case.
So, on October 5 our plan is to begin the butchering process. Having been out of State most of the year I do not have a crew yet nor have I stocked up banana boxes for the processed orders so we will be asking folks to bring your own boxes when you get the call to pick up your meat.
Also on October 12 I am putting my equipment and trucks into an auction that is going to liquidate my late brother's estate. If you are interested in a no minimum bid on some good running trucks or a bobcat and diesel truck shop equipment you can see the ad on Jennifer DeVilbiss' Facebook page or call her at 354 6739.
If you don't get an e mail from me confirming an order soon it means that you did not get your name on this year's meat list. You should e mail me soon if you want a side of beef- perhaps the last grass fed and grass finished beef you can get from Wolverine Farm. E mail at carrots@mtaonline.net. Telephone 907 355 0733.
