when they push up with the right legs it flexes the right brisket muscle more so than the left. Therefore, the right-handed brisket will be tougher and less marbled than the left."
Being raised around cattle, I had not noticed whether or not they favor their left or right side.
I decided to do some checking this last year. After harassing the cattle within a 45 mile radius of my place... including my own cattle, I've witnessed cattle laying on both their left and right sides in equal numbers. lol ( yes, I was bored :) )

I love the way you seem to be living your life. From what I can gather from your many posts, is that you have mastered something of the lifetyle I am wanting to create for myself. I would love to pick your brain as to how you set yourself up to live such a perfect lifetyle and what you do with all this fabulous food you cook every day!!!
;)S
Well I can eat barbecue brisket right-handed and left-handed, so no worries...LOL
;oP
Thank you Pony Expression!
I was raised in the country so it comes natural. lol
This is the way I was brought up.
I purchased a hunk of land and have been building up the farm how I want it.
It's my haven. :)
JP....Me too!! lol :)
"what you do with all this fabulous food you cook every day!!!"
Oops.. I missed this part!
I love cooking for friends and other times I make sure I cook enough for leftovers.
It's so handy to warm something up when I come in the house....especially on those days when I'm worn out and ready to relax. :)
Hey Jeanie,
I've made the brisket before, but have never come across that story before. Thanks for giving me something to BS the others with around the smoker!
BTW, I just wanted to let you know I love your site, your YUMMY recipes and that you don't need to cut your hair ;)
Later,
Darren
Yes Cowgirl, I was brought up this way too - hunting and smoking our food, etc, and have done some of these things pretty much on going up until the past 5 years or so. Haven't been able to get it done on my own land for a few years now. Got stuck in this dang city. But am moving to Colorado this June to get it going again. I'm thinking off grid homesteading!
Gonna keep close tabs on how you are doing things... ;) I've got some sustainable ideas roaming around in my head. Gonna try to get em done.
lolol Darren! Thank you for the kind words and the laugh!! :)
I love your blog too... Your hikes are awesome!
take care
Pony Express.. sorry to hear you have to live in the city!
Hope you find a hunk of land to buy and move to the country.
It's so peaceful out here. :)

Hi Ken, it's good to see ya. :)
I've never worried about the briskets either. If smoked just right, they're all pretty tasty. lol
Hope you are having a good Monday. Miss you on the forums too. :)
Looks like somebody forgot to tell the cows! :-)
Now i see why you don't burn wood there is no trees thank god for gas heat lolol
LOL That's right Becky!
Dave, now you know why I use gas. lol
I save the wood for my smokers. :)
Tell me you didn’t fall for Shingleman’s yarn about the left handed brisket’s lol. I always figured that it was alcohol induced.
I just stumbled across your site, really nice.
Bill (WWD)
lol I didn't fall for it Bill, but had to have proof for some of my online smoking buddies. :)
(no pictures, it didn't happen)

Thanks for checking out my blog. :)
