 | Beef Ring bags These Beef Ring bags were from the 1910 period. During pioneering days a group of farmers or ranchers would form a "Beef Ring." Once a week, one of the participants in the Beef Ring would butcher an animal and the meat would be divided up between all the participants and put in their Beef Ring bags. The bags were marked or labelled. These two bags belonged to Simon Downie, owner of the Elkhorn Stock Farm east of Carstairs. Each week the participants would get different cuts of meat. By the end of the summer each would have received a whole animal. When one was in a Beef Ring they were insured that they would have fresh meat during the hot weather. Often it was up to the wives to deliver the meat to the various farmers or ranchers, or they would have to come and pick it up. |
