View attachment 132639 Or should i say "Meat Patty".
With us working on creating a homestead, we decided that it is time for us to get our own beef cattle. We already have chickens, pigs, ducks, and turkeys. But now with the addition of a cow, we will be able to feed our family for a year easily with what we raise. We have decided to raise all of our own proteins because that way we know how the animal was treated and how it was raised, which is with love and lots of care.
With this heifer, after about 6 months we will bring her to the slaughterhouse and come back home with around 1,000 pounds of beef. This investment is far worth the time that we will be spending caring for her. The end all costs to buy, raise, feed, and slaughter her will be a tiny fraction of what it would have cost to buy that much meat at the grocery store. And sadly, most of the meat you buy at a grocery store is treated poorly and lives in horrible conditions before it becomes brutally slaughtered.
Granted, if would be even more cost effective if we just slaughtered the cow ourselves, but that requires a hell of a set up that we just dont have. It is one thing for us to slaughter our own chickens and turkeys, but the pigs and our cow is just far too big.
Thanks for viewing.
P.s. My wife and I are thinking about starting a youtube channel all about our adventures with our homestead, about how we build things, and everything else we do here. Do you guys think that it is worth our effort to buy a camera to do this? Do you think that this could get us enough views to where we might actually earn a little money from it? Please let us know your thoughts and opinions. Thank you.
