1200 POUNDS OF MEAT CUT UP

THE TEAM

Such a great feeling to have the meat cut up and in a freezer "Rock Hard" for Iditarod food drops. Was a little worried as we were one person short, but Becky, Anna and I were able to actually keep up with Michael.  Kept us on our toes. 
ASSEMBLY LINE 
 Here you can see the "Meat in Waiting",  ready for Michael to grab and cut.  This year my meat came mostly in 10 pound "chubs", rather than 50 pound blocks.  A bit more work for us, as we had to remove each bag, but easier for the butcher.
IN ACTION
As Michael cuts, we weigh and bag and transport meat to the freezer.   I think that we had the meat cut up in 3 hours.  Later this we will assemble the food drop bags.
