My beef
My beef weighted in at 780 pounds. At 6.50 a pound, it cost me 5,050 bucks and I figure it will cost around 1500 dollars to butcher it and wrap it up. So that’s around 10 dollars a pound for grass fed beef.
I tried to make arrangements to pay the rancher today, but he didn’t answer his phone.
His ranch is at Jenner which I’d decided to go for ride down around the place when I went down to pay up.
I decided to go for the ride, just the same and try to call the rancher from there, if possible.
I drove on down to the Jenner area and tried my phone, but no matter where I tried the phone, there was no cell phone service. So, paying my bill was out.
Overlook
I headed on down to the overlook at the river’s mouth where it meets the ocean and parked to look around a bit.
The River’s mouth
Here’s where the Russian River runs into the Pacific ocean. Lots of harbor seals and birds hang out at this spot.
Critters
Seals and brown pelicans mostly resting and bathing in the river waters.
Seals
There’s at least a couple hundred harbor seals that hang out in this area.
And lots of brown pelicans too.
There’s always a lot to see as far as the wild life in this spot.
I gave up on paying the rancher for now and went on home for a nap.
Nice day.
