Today I just went and picked up our cow, Patty, from the slaughterhouse.
We already had 2 chest freezers full from all the pork of our pigs that we brought to the slaughterhouse a month ago. Last night we went and bought upright freezer. ALL OF OUR FREEZERS ARE NOW FULL!!!

I did not organize all the meat very well so it looks like a mess, but my wife and I will fix it later.
We have over 400 lbs of pork and 400 lbs of beef in 3 different freezers, and plus some more in our fridge/freezer. I knew that we were going to have a lot of meat, but this is all just too damn shocking. We have enough food to feed us for 2 years! But that is not how all this meat is going to be used.
I am one that loves to share what I have. I usually give away close to half of anything that I raise and grow. Why? Because I like to help people and I like to know that people around me are eating good healthier food. My friends, family, and neighbors all get a share of what we have worked hard for. We also like to throw big parties. On one party we spent almost $300 on meat alone at a butcher shop a few years back. But now we have that readily available.
Whats even better is that I have 22 baby meat chickens in my sunroom right now. In another 6 weeks they will be ready for slaughter. That will be even more that we get to use to feed our family and friends.
Our whole family invested soo much time, effort, and money raising these animals. Everyone did their part to help provide for the family.
Now what is even better... We are going to build a farm stand. We are going to start selling what we raise and what we grow. This is what are family wants to do. We have a goal and a dream. All this effort that we are putting into everything now is helping us learn and prepare for when we buy some farm land and really get big. Currently we have a bunch of chicken and turkey eggs that we need to offload as well.
Anything I can do to provide better for my family make it all worth it.
Soon we are going to breeding out championship lineage chocolate lab and selling the puppies.
This is the first time in my life that I actually feel that I have a positive future, that I am finally using my skills and talents to do something great.
I thank you all for viewing, and if anyone would happen to want to buy some meat from me, send me a PM.
