I rarely eat beef anymore. Shit's way too expensive. Pork and chicken prices have increased a bit but they would be the last thing I would complain about. Bread, milk, sodas, chips, just common shit have had way bigger % of price increases.

I do, but I focus on the neglected cuts...

CFA's chicken is not good.  We only go because it's so much faster than everywhere else.

They're putting in a 3 lane drive through with walk up windows (no inside dining) CFA near me in Houston. It'll probably be the best thing ever for the Schloztsky's across the street.

And miss out on the glory of Krispy Krunchy chicken, one of the better chains around (that's ONLY found in gas stations)?

The old bank building they tore down was some really nice 60s architecture too. Everything about this kinda sucks. 

And RIP Cookshack. Feels like the Nashville chicken craze is on the downslope.

What, no love for that POS cinnabun? What about the hookah/burger/endless stream of bars/money laundering operating right next door?

I forget the Schloztsky's is there despite driving by it damn near every day, how the fuck am I supposed to remember there's a cinnabon inside?

 

I'm told the bar/hookah/burger/bagel money laundering place is actually kinda good. I remember when that spot was a popular bar that inexplicably decided to remodel and rebrand, making everyone move down the street to the place that is now Nadine's. That place was one of the first Washington Ave. nightlife spots (the Vatican down at the other end had been long closed by then, afaik).

I believe it was called The Social. It had the rest rooms with windows at eye level that looked at into the bar. 

Fucking no one is going to Nadine's. That pace has failed as Kobain's, Darwin's, and at least 2 other name's. It's got bad parking, I just don't see how it's ever going to succeed.

I am amazed Porch Swing is still in business. It's looking pretty ragged these days.

Yep, that's what it was, The Social.

Nadine's has a lot of parking it's just on the wrong side of the building (the former Chatter's side). 

I think that land is owned by the Tech Auto guy across the street, who parks his inventory/car collection all over the street there.

 Heifers are pelvic-measured and then retained or sold as replacements later in the spring. 

I did not know I was training to be a cattle rancher each Fall semester / Spring semester... I'm going to update my resume.

Can elaborate on this calving date choice?  Curious to know more about yalls experience. @Kennythetiger can you learn me about the pelvic measuring. I assume the flunkies are heifers with smaller pelvic areas which correlates to more frequent birthing issues?  How hard is it to accurately measure? Does it take a trained  veterinarian or something youve learned to do? I’ll hang up and listen. 

As more of a northern plains guys, it reduces the chances on train wrecks in shitty weather. Probably matters less for the southern plains guys.

Pulling calves at zero degrees is no fun.

The ranchers who also farm have a tough choice.  Calve early to get it all done before wheat seeding, or calve late and somehow do all that work at once.

This might be a dense question but as someone having no knowledge of this industry I feel compelled to ask - are you talking about literal train wrecks or figurative train wreck situations during live births?

the latter

You have a wet, newborn calf coming out of their warm mother in wind and zero degree temperatures.  Or wait 2 month and that calf is born in 35 degrees (and probably mud.)  It is slightly better.

How did cows get born before people started sticking their hands up their cunts?

And if you’ve ever had to do that….yeesh. Not a fun experience. Cow juice up to your shoulders.

3 locations in Houston, one in SA, one in DFW. 

@Brisketexan  Bojangles is chicken strips only so not really the same conversation 

Unless this is a location specific thing, this is totally false. 

And get your shit together, Brisket.

I looked into it, and it appears to be mostly true - Bojangles is phasing out bone-in chicken.   It's still available at some locations, but none of the newer ones.

That's some commie America-hating bullshit.

One of the most miserable experiences I ever had was being a millhand on my uncle's dairy during the Christmas holidays sometime in the early 1980s. Their milkhands would go home to Mexico, over the holidays, and my cousin and I would milk for the two weeks we were out of school.

This particular time, we had a four day stretch that stayed mostly below freezing, and warm up to the mid 30s in the afternoon. The entrance pen to the dairy barn was basically frozen mud stalagmites about 12-18" tall from the cows stomping around. The stalagmites were sharp enough that it was cutting up the cows bellies and bags as they walked through, it was a bloody mess. We had to doctor up every cow that came through. On top of that, there was one day we had to pull six calves, most of them breach. We would reach in and tie a rope around the calves rear legs, and take the tag ends and tie them to a come-a-long. We were able to pull all six, and all the calves lived, which was nice.

Did that once with a tractor.  Found mama on the far side of a friend's place. 

Cow was down from exhaustion, dying, and the calf was stuck in the birth canal.  Roped her up to the tractor, got the calf out, tried and tried with the bucket to get her to her feet but she was too far gone.  Calf lived, but damn.  

Why pops used a slender longhorn bull on his new cows (black angus at the time).  For their first birth, largely unsupervised, we needed hardy, skinny calves.  Then we cycled him away and brought in a fat, Angus stubby.  It's that first damn calf that's so problematic.  Same with people I guess.

I had thought they had actual fried chicken and wanted to get some when they opened here in Houston. Went through a Berenstein Bears moment when the menu was just strips. Now I find out the North Carolinians are keeping the good shit for themselves. Probably as punishment for Dickey's bbq. PE assholes who own the place want to "streamline operations in new territories by simplifying the menu."

Yep.  Had to pull a calf with a come along, and had to pull one with my grandpa's LTD Crown Vic.  Both calves lived, both mamas died.  Heavy duty and messy shit both times.  Especially when we pulled with the car, because that calf popped/flew out, hit me in the chest, and I was covered head to toe in cow gunk.  Just walked over to the stock tank, took my boots off, and walked right in to wash off the worst of it.

Yeah, we always used either a bull breed that would sire a smaller calf, or a regular breed if the cow was half brahman. The best combo we ever had were some half Brahman and Angus cows that we bought from a rancher that was breeding up for first generation Brangus (which are 5/8ths Angus, and 3/8ths Brahman) we put a Simmental bull on them. The calves came out perfect. About 65 lbs. at birth, and would grow like a weed. They were a chocolate brown, white faced, with a little flop in the ear. We could hardly keep heifers. Dad would bitch about he wanted to keep most of the heifers, but they would bring a couple of hundred dollars more than they would bring at the sale barn. Other ranchers would come buy them dozen or two at a time.

Don't forget the shoulder length latex gloves.  Wondering why I've never seen those on any fetish videos...shared by others. 😀

If we had any of those....my grandpa sure as shit didn't provide me any.  He took great pleasure in subjecting us "soft city kids" to the grittier parts of ranching life.  Wouldn't have done any good anyway.  Once everything flew out at once, I looked like the end of Men in Black.
