Hello All!
So, I’m a little sleepy this morning and it’s taking me a bit to get the menu out! I spent the weekend with Peter and Judy Haase at Buffalo Horn Ranch tagging the new bison. In all, we ran over 100 bison through their system of gates and corrals onto a weight scale and then through a squeeze that holds the calf while they get their tags. My job on Saturday was to hold a sweater over the eyes of the calf and keep them calm. They keep the whole process as stress free as possible which means a lot of patience on our part as we move and sort them. That’s Deanna from Three Sisters Pies holding the calf head in the picture. Overall it was an amazing experience and we plan to help again next year. I’ll post a more detailed report to the blog in the next week. If you want to meet Peter and Judy and hear more about their operation come to the Slow Food Calgary Kitchen Workshop next Tuesday.
We also have something special for the kids for Halloween on Wednesday, so be sure to swing by.
