Slow-Cooker BBQ Beef

We bought a cow!  Well, we bought a 1/4 of a cow.  Our first adventure was with Da-Le Ranch.  It has been great and we love sharing our cow with friends.  Today we just received a 1/4 of a cow from Alderspring Ranch.  We decided to try Alderpring because of their podcast on Bulletproof Executive.  This time we have a few friends buying the cow with us.  What an adventure!

I've always been fearful when it comes to cooking beef.  It seems too easy to overcook and ruin a good cut of beef.  Since buying a cow I've had to learn how to cook it.  I'll be posting the successful recipes, so stay tuned.
