10 Great Ideas to Save Fuel when people are panic buying Jerry Cans, Fuel Cells... mmm where have we seen this happen before.
We like to help you get most out of those 36 Jerry Cans you just brought here are some great ideas to make your fuel go further.

Thank us later.

1. Drive Everywhere in Reverse
Cars are designed to go forward, so obviously if you drive everywhere in reverse the engine gets confused and stops using fuel entirely. It actually puts it back into the tank and reverses the speedo. That's a win win.

2. Only Drive Downhill
Plan every trip so it's entirely downhill. If you live somewhere flat, simply move your house to the top of a mountain, hill etc. It's ok the Aussie Government will give you funding for it.

3. Turn the Engine Off While Driving
For maximum efficiency, turn the engine off while cruising at 100 km/h. Steering and brakes are optional anyway and most people.dont use them. It's a good idea to top up with blinker fluid before though.

4. Use Only Odd-Numbered Gears
Even-numbered gears burn twice the fuel. Real fuel experts only drive in 1st, 3rd, and 5th.

5. Push start the car
Instead of turning the key, push start the car. This saves up to 2 or 3 litres or in $$$ around $540. Also works with automatics really well..

6. Drive With the Fuel Cap Off
Petrol evaporates slower when it can breathe. Mechanics hate this trick.

7. Fill the Tank Only Halfway
A full tank weighs more, and everyone knows heavier fuel burns faster. Keep it half full so the petrol doesn’t feel pressured.

8.Remove Two Spark Plugs
Why run all cylinders when you’re only using the road once? Run the engine on half power like a responsible citizen. Help reverse climate change.

9. Drive Faster So the Trip Ends Sooner
The faster you drive, the less time the engine is running, which obviously means less fuel used. Physics agrees. Isacc Newton told us this himself today.

10. Inflate the Tyres With Helium
Helium makes balloons float, therefore the car becomes lighter and uses less fuel. NASA confirmed it privately from a zoom call on the moon.

All It takes sometimes is a simple " g'day how you going " to make someone's day. Pretty much like the exceptional service here at The Holy Cow Butchers..Cough Cough... Bu****it.

A Picnic That Means More Than Just a Picnic
On Saturday afternoon, as the sun begins to soften over Bain Park in Wauchope, something simple but powerful will be happening.

But in reality, it’s something much bigger.

This “Picnic in the Park” community event is part of a national research project led by three universities, aimed at understanding how natural disasters affect small rural communities and how those communities can rebuild strength and resilience together.

And places like Wauchope know that story all too well.

Over the past decade, rural towns across Australia have faced more than their fair share of hardship, floods that swallow paddocks, fires that scar the hills, droughts that stretch patience and pockets thin. And sometimes, the weight of it all becomes too much for the very people who hold these communities together.

Behind every disaster statistic is a farmer, a small business owner, a family trying to keep going.

But the saddest part is Sometimes a mate who didn’t.
Just in the shop alone over the past few years it's nearly reached double figures from people's experiences about losing someone too soon too early and sometimes way too young.

That’s why events like this matter.

They remind us of something rural communities have always known instinctively: healing often begins with simply coming together.

At Bain Park this Saturday, the Wauchope Lions Club will be providing free food, while local musicians Charlie O’Derry and Sue Lee bring live music to the afternoon.
Children can enjoy face painting, neighbours will share stories, and for a few hours the focus shifts from hardship to connection.

Because resilience in country towns doesn’t come from policies or reports alone.

It comes from conversations on park benches.
From laughter between strangers who suddenly realise they know the same people.
From small business owners, farmers, volunteers, and families standing side by side.
Or talking to your neighbour over the fence down a boundary line and ripping your f"*king shirt on the barbed wire fence..

The researchers behind the project are studying ways to improve mental wellbeing, reduce distress, and help communities prepare for future disasters, while working with local leaders to build long term solutions tailored to the community itself.

But perhaps the most powerful part of the study won’t be written in any report.

It will be seen in moments like this:

A farmer who hasn’t spoken much lately sharing a joke over a sausage sandwich.

Kids laughing while music plays.

A town quietly reminding itself that no matter what storms come next floods, fires, or the pressures of everyday life no one has to face them alone.

Sometimes the strongest thing a small country community can do is talk and come together.

If you're offended by little Johnny Jokes, scroll on.

Shops shut today but was just chatting to an old bloke out the front on a seat and he told me a pretty funny little Johnny joke, be a shame not to share it

On Friday Ms Kellie ( why not ) asked her students for famous quotes. If they could answer them they could leave early for the weekend break.

She asks' who has said something famous that has made a quote that the whole world remembers" ?
Dimmy puts up her hand and says " I have a dream." Martin Luther King said that Ms.
Ms Kellie says well done, see you Monday Dimmy. Thanks Ms and off she goes.

She asks again, Janene puts her hand up, yes Janene,
That's one small step for man, a giant leap for mankind." Neil Armstrong said that miss..Well done said Ms Kellie. See you Monday..

Well Johnny is sitting there pretty s**tty and wanting to go home..and says
"wish these fu***ng girls would just shut their mouth"

MS Kellie has her listening ears on, heard it and sternly asks the class " which one of you boys said that "
Little Johnny quick as a flash answers.

"TIGER WOODS Ms 2002, see you Monday "

Today I’d like to introduce you to Ruben. 6 years old and already setting the standard. Ladies, I hope your men are taking notes 😜

Ruben has been coming into the shop since he was tiny. When he was about 4 he decided I was officially his girlfriend… and honestly, he’s been more consistent than most grown men ever since 🤣

This morning he surprised me with flowers and a teddy and absolutely melted my heart.
Meanwhile… my first boyfriend (who is significantly older and fully aware of the date) was way more focused on playing with his meat 🙄

Safe to say Ruben understands the assignment ❤️

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

We love it when our products get roasted in a good way 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

One of our Central West NSW lambs having a sunbake by the river near Forster Tuncurry poor bu**er was out wakeboarding and forgot to put some sun protection on, so onto the dinner plate for this tasty treat for the long weekend. Such a shame 😋

Thanks for making our tastebuds moister than an oyster Rick Clifton. Looks pretty good legend.

Well apparently we have to show up so ⬇️

Yep, first day back tomorrow.
Yes, later than planned.
No, we weren’t “resting”.
Mr Holy Cow has had FA time off, so don't expect a happy face. So just like normal then.

We were doing maintenance, fixing s**t we didn't know needed fixing until it said fix me I'm f**ked.

Also trialling new pork brines like people who probably shouldn’t be left unsupervised.

THESE WILL BE AVAILABLE FRIDAY.. now that's written in caps so dumb people that come in tmrw asking for them, will look just as dumb as they did the day before. We may have some left. If we eat them all beforehand, well that's good for us, not so good for customers. So we apologize in advance.

👉Coffee & Pomegranate Molasses Brined Pork Ribs , the pic that some smart ass will message us and say that's a Moon from Uranus.
👉Roasted Sweet Macadamia Brined Pork Medallions ( The Porterhouse more or less ) The other one.

A bit of sugar, salt, herbs plus a bit of science, and a lot of “what if we just try this…”" add that s**t " FFS stop drinking it !!
No, none, zero, blot, chemical curing agents. All natural goodness.

While other butchers reopen quietly and do the same thing they’ve done forever, we decided to come back with pork that’s been brined in things that apparently “don’t belong in a butcher shop”.

That’s fine.
Pretty sure neither do we.
100% Mr Holy Cow Doesn't 🤣

Half our customers come for the meat.
The other half come because of the exceptional polite service. That's bulls**t 😂

So if you want safe, boring pork plenty of options around. Go buy that supermarket s**t.
If you want butchers who come back slightly feral, over caffeinated, and doing things differently, well you know where we are. Bring Rum.

Plus 8 different Flav Snags Including the Tennessee Smokehouse Brisket and the Pork Banh Mi with that terrible s**t called coriander in it. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Plus some other fancy s**t.

See some of you tmrw.

Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year.

QUICK EDIT : due to several messages already. Ready, setty go.. NO THEY ARE NOT FU***NG GLUTEN FREE FFS and whilst we are somewhat into the realms of wizardry with food tolerances. Guess what a Macadamia is a fu***ng nut ( just like me ) so don't eat them if you will die. Thanks Peeps

It's a law, a seriously fu**ed one if you ask us. And something consumers don't know..well here you go..
Please read this and share this so people understand and support your local butchers.

Share Share Share get the word out there. The law speaks for itself which is the link attached below..
FACEBOOK LIMITS POSTS LIKE THIS AS IT HAS A LINK ATTACHED. For some reason like everything else these days telling the truth about something seems to be seen as offensive or hurtful. Hence the more it's shared the better it goes.
It's a polite way of saying f**k off and tell the truth FFS.

We have been asked so many times why supermarket hams are so cheap..Well have a read. And click on the link. The whole Meat Industry seems to have lost its great standards it once had. Don't get us started on point of sale labelling in supermarkets for meat that's a whole other issue..

In New South Wales supermarkets are allowed to thaw frozen ham and sell it — but only if they follow strict food-safety rules. That means the ham must be kept properly chilled the whole time in controlled conditions, thawed safely (for example in a refrigerator or coolroom conditions), and handled so there’s no risk of cross-contamination (raw-meat juices must not contact other food). If the ham is being sold ready-to-eat or unpackaged, the business must also have trained staff or a certified food-safety supervisor and keep records or other evidence showing safe handling. Sell thawed ham without those precautions and the store is breaking the law because the food becomes “unsafe.” So thawed ham isn’t banned — poor handling is.

So in essence those $6-$8kg hams you see that are s**t in colour, grainy looking meat and full of water etc could be the ones we just mentioned. That's just our take on the situation. It happens 100%.why you ask. Because theres legislation for it. It's just not put in place to read. It gets put in there for a reason.
Surely they would put the old
" Thawed for your conveniece " on them. Well we would hope they would..

This stems from someone seeing dates crossed out with a black texter and us asking wtf is going on. Hence why this post .BTW this was a local supermarket in the Hastings Area.

This isn't about people's choices, we know times are hard for everyone ATM. And in no way are we judging anyone. It's your money, you buy what you want. This is about making Australian Consumers aware of the bulls**t that's out there. There needs to be changes in our system.

So more or less it states the following

Standard 3.2.2 (handling, storage, temperature control),

Standard 3.2.2A (retail-food-business obligations), and

Food Act 2003 (prohibition on unsafe food)

— together form the legal framework that governs whether thawed or cooked meat can be sold.

As George Carlin said
" Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups "
We certainly have that situation evolving.

Thankyou to everyone for your continued support, it's been heart felt lately. Talking to lots of people in small business, it's been some hard times for some of them. Please support all your local people, they are the backbone of your community.
Love to you all and have a great weekend legends.
🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
PS. You can BBQ in the rain, don't be a p***y

Well it's that time of year again, you know that dreaded C word. No not that one, that's a good one, the other one, Christmas. Instead of Flashy AI stuff I went old school and finger painted some boards. Good old Chalk and yes I ate some.. couldn't resist reliving YR 12 Art Class 😂.
Not my original idea aka Santa with the Ho's, Santa on a St*****rs Pole with some morally objective women throwing $$$ at him..but none the less. More family friendly.
Orders are open now. For a bit of a list please see attached in the comments as well. That's not everything but the main stuff.
Have a great weekend.. TFIF 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

22/10/2025

Great question !!! We would say every 6 seconds 💨💨💨💨
We would apologise to all the idiots that are free ranging ATM but we are still in shock from a customer saying " please take that parsley out of the bag, before you weigh it, I don't want to pay for it"
FML.... Feel free to share it. Like f"'king seriously lol
It was the inspiration for this though,.so thank you ❤️

14/10/2025

Well someone got a new signboard for the front.
In the name of goodwill we will formally apologise in advance to Wauchope, the State of NSW, Australia, Social Media and possibly the World in advance for what might show up on it..
In the spirit of all this new "we must include everyone in everything" we most certainly will be.
