The black bear meat I tried was first the "back straps" We cooked this portion like a roast. It had a bit of a wild taste, but delicious. We grilled the bear ribs another night. Kinda tasted like pork. We put so much sauce on that it made it difficult to tell what it really tastes like!
With the elk, we tried ground elk which is very similar to ground beef, and also elk jerky. The jerky was my favorite! All natural too!

Yesterday we added water to the dirt pile.
I hosed them down outside. That was fun too!
They took a bath and I washed clothes.

My first morning greeting yesterday was a sheep mauled hoop shelter. It was bent, hoof holes punched in that new tarp and I was mad. STUPID SHEEP!!
I couldn’t push it back, it was too heavy. Couldn’t be on the inside pushing it back and on the outside zip tying it anyway. So I got my rope. Pre punched holes at each end, how convenient! In one end, along the inside, out the other end, tied together and ran to the tractor bucket. I eased back, stood up the hoop shelter, set brake and turned off the tractor.
I zip tied it to Kingdom Come and back again. Then I hunted up gates to keep those hussies OFF!!!
I parked the mule where Carson could keep an eye on me. My Velcro dog.
I covered the holes with gorilla duct tape, ran out and had to finish patching with regular duct tape.
That knocked a couple of hours out of my morning. Then while girls played in dirt, I pushed and dragged dirt and got a pretty good pad for future barn.
It was 2:30 when I finished. I was tired! I had a chicken in the oven, fixed baked beans and corn on the cob.

NO animal is cheap. You get some goldfish for the horse water tank. It gets to November and youngest DD can't STAND to see them die...so you buy a 10 gallon fish tank. The old bubbler doesn't work right, so you buy a new one AND a new water filter AND a small thing of fish food, then they ate through the fish food and you buy a ginormous round package of fish food, THEN, you have to keep buying filters with charcoal, change 1x/month.
The cheapo feeder fish become a $project money hole!
No such thing as "cheap sheep", either.
