What does the black Angus Cow Say?..."Cha-Ching"

What do you get when you combine the above picture with this picture?

A four day weekend with your parents flying on a private Eurocopter to 4 Angus Cattle Auction sales throughout the state of Georgia.

And your thoughts are "What??"

Let me explain...My father owns/raises Black Angus Cattle for the purpose of improving the breed. During certain times of the year you travel to other Angus breeders auction sales and buy some of their cattle so you can breed yours with theirs and make even better cows. That is the "Angus for Dummies" explanation.

So you know how you can go to a "steak house" restaurant that is more or less a glorified buffet and get a "knock-off-steak" for like $2.50 and then you can go to a real Steak House restaurant and get a "designer steak" for like $40.00, that is not including side dishes, well there is a reason for that. It all goes back to the cow.

Certified Black Angus beef is some of the best beef you can get (i.e. designer, couture). The cattle sales we went to are like a designers runway show for their product. The cattle you are seeing will never see the likes of a slaughter house (just like actual runway clothes will never see a store room rack of clothes). What these designer cows are capable of producing is what will end up on your plate one day after forking out designer prices for that luscious slab-o-beef!

Just ONE cow at one of these sales went for $170,000.00!

Its like a whole other world out there you didn't even know about. So next time you go to an expensive restaurant and order the filet mignon enjoy the guilty pleasure and know you are eating in-style!
