This isn't new but I am curious. I got a cow last night in a god- awful place. We got her cleaned and got her off the cliff to heavy timber for the night but had to leave before we froze. We had 4 miles to get back to the truck and get home for dinner.
By the time we got back today she was well on her way to frozen. We got her quartered with an electric saw but struggled to even cut the hide. We got the quarters to the truck with horses. We loaded them into the truck where they froze to the box.
I couldn't skin and wash the meat because at 3 degrees they were well on the way to a brick.
After dinner I brought them into our heated mud room and hope they will thaw by morning.
Anybody got any other ideas for these circumstances. I have brought in frozen and cleaned quarters and thawed them in the bathtub so I could cut them up.
