That's cause brainz is an acquired taste!

Growing up in Wyoming, it was nothing to see someone butchering a deer in their driveway in the suburbs. A whole cow is ambitious, though.
I still don’t see the problem. :-)
*** If it had been me, I would have gone over to help.
That would be the neighborly thing to do.***
It’s also a good way to get a couple of free roasts!
The neighbors around here know my kids and if there is a deer to be processed, my daughter is called. she doesn’t have the heart for killing, but she’s game for everything else. She usually gets the hide and some meat for her troubles.
That’s hilarious! How’s this guy gonna carve up an entire bovine in his driveway? It would look like a butcher’s yard sale. I have a hard enough time processing a deer in my garage, let alone cleaning up the mess.
Dozens of deer over the years for us on Dad’s dairy farm, but we’d always sent down or fattened cattle to a local butcher. Old Dad wanted his six nearby grandkids to experience more truth before the oldest ones left for college so he & I and neighbors butchered a coupla his young hereford bulls for New Year’s day, a few years back. Used tractor w/ loader to chain the halves to big sugar maple branches. Compared to the whitetail deer we were all accustomed to, those beefers looked big as dinosaurs hanging there, with knee knuckles seeming almost big as my head.
Yes, I certainly understand, for some their home is a status symbol, kind of like their automobile(s). And I can understand that, they paid good hard earned money for it. But butchering a steer is a one time thing for quite awhile, and again, if you don’t want to see it, don’t look.
The best neighbor I ever had, for some reason felt the need to display their prior wealth out in their yard. Old appliances and fixtures everywhere...but if he saw me out mending fence by myself, he would always come lend a hand. And his wife, who knew I commuted 110 miles RT to work and had to leave home at the buttcrack of dawn, would meet my kids at the school bus stop every morning with a breakfast burrito made with fresh tortillas and goodies.
On the weekend, I would deliver them a basket of fresh bread, and some of my mother’s best recipe baked goods and a big container of bebidas de frutas. And each spring I would deliver them containers of new bloomers out of my greenhouse that we would set around on the old appliances and in the fixtures and make the yard a thing beauty, lol.
You are right, good neighborship is more to me than the surface perfection.
New neighbors saw me and the wife (stunning tall shapely blond) and said “Thank God hispanics didn't move in, next thing you know they would be butchering a pig in the driveway.”
My wife's grandmother was Peruvian. I am a country boy.
I felt like Steve Martin in “the Jerk” discussing “eggplants”.
I felt like driving up to Northern California and bringing back a pig - to butcher it up in the driveway.

Man up people. It is not a big deal to butcher a cow in the driveway.
Must we all be pansies?
My pleasure. Some things must be shared.
And not nearly as much fun for the participants.
No, I’ve been keeping an eye on these folks. Most of them have absolutely no interest in brains.
Or sell at a flea market?
good one and a belly laugh.....
If they don't know how to butcher already, it's time they learned!
I agree with you; if it upsets any little wuss, then they need a learning experience.
"Upsetting" someone, while doing NOTHING illegal is now "disorderly conduct"? How about the "upsetting" things I can't avoid seeing (and sometimes smelling) in nearly any store I walk into, let alone a Walmart? Is a fashion/hygiene crime now a real crime, too?
Obviously it’s a not an immigrant. Otherwise the diversity police would have buried the complaint. The complaintant would have been instructed to accept our differences and labled racist. Nope, white dude just feeding his family.
Flies!
