Tis the season you know. The season of giving. In celebration of the season, Matt and Craig are doing it again. The 2nd annual Montana Blogosphere fundraising drive for the Montana Food Bank Network. You can find the donation page here so you can celebrate the season of giving. Please give.
Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process.

UPDATE: We are now up to $820. If you can please give. Last year we raised $1600 and would like to do the same this year.

Feed The Needy
Hamburger Helper
I found this story very interesting. This organization takes cull cows, donates them to the Billings food bank, and the rancher gets a $500 tax write off. This looks like a really good deal to me. I occasionally take up an animal that would work good for this program and it looks like a win-win situation for all.

Every rancher has cattle who get old or injured. And for most ranchers, their emotional attachment to the animals forces a financial decision
If the rancher takes the animal to the sales ring, on its way to the packing plant, it could fall and be injured. If it's injured to the point of being a "downer," it can't be sold.
The other choice is to sell the cow to a butcher, pay a processing charges of around $300 in return for $1-a-pound hamburger.
