Butchering the cow required about 5 workers and 10 onlookers, including 4 curious kids, 5 hungry dogs and many indifferent ducks and chickens.
tools were rudimentary, but sufficed. Ava and Mia were interested, Ella cared less.
Mar 11, 2010 9:13 AM With the cow's trachea exposed, Josh gave a little anatomy lesson, pointing out the bumpy ridges on Mia's own windpipe. Constantly homeschooling.
The kids discussing where in their own bodies their lungs sit.
They butchered close to the rivers edge so they could rinse the pieces off in the water before carrying it to the pit.
Dogs, flies and chickens, it was a feast for all.
later, Natal and I washing dishes.
Doing church under the mango tree. Allison and Jean doing worship and Beto sharing.
Beto sharing to an audience with full belly's.
grilling and cutting up took awhile.
