Save the Cow

What are the odds that 1/2 a cow would be delivered the same day that we lose power?

In February I ordered 1/2 a cow - I knew that it was going to be delivered on Wednesday, however Wednesday morning our power went out (wind storm). It was out for 2 days while the temps were in the 90's!
With no power to keep our meat frozen I had to deal with finding ice, and cleaning up the water that was no longer ice. The thought of loosing 500 pounds of beef was quite stressful, but we did save the meat, and managed to keep it all frozen over the two days.

When you live on a well and you don't have electricity - you also don't have water!
