Beefsteak Heirloom

This beefsteak has been in our family for generations. I guess it was an heirloom before I even knew what the term meant. lol :-()

Is that a dinner plate? These are beautiful!

How do they taste?

They are great tasting and juicy. Now am having a problem with the squirrels getting into them, they like the taste too!

The squirrels have been way too much a problem for me this year. Not sure what measures I will take to avoid them next year, thinking about electric fence on all four sides.
