My son in law is rancher. I just put 250 lbs of beef in my freezer Nd inTe that much at least last year. So 10 percent of that is 25 lbs of meat a year. Joe assumes we only eat 40 lbs of beef a year.
As stated there are a lot of variables. Last one I sold it ended up being in the $4.25/lb neighbor hood for the customer after buying the steer from me and after their butcher fees. Pricey for burger and dirt cheap for steaks!
I haven’t bought meat in a store for 15 years or better. These clowns can make whatever “rules” they want. I’m not playing. Beef, deer, and pork all in my freezer and all done myself. Beef gets packaged by a butcher, everything else I do at home.
Excellent!
Good knives are essential. I struggle with keeping a fine edge, but it takes a lot of practice.
I’m fortunate that I know a person who grew up butchering with his father. Last year we had a Memorial Day hog butcher party and he brought all the big boy equipment. Several families filled their freezers that day. God bless rural America.
Your point about heritage hogs is spot on. Dirt raised heritage hogs are 100x better eating than concrete raised.
I raise grass beef finished with corn for marbling, free range flock of chickens, hunt deer, vegetable garden and can it, and buddy down the road grows dirt raised hogs. I’m a very fortunate person in these aspects.
Easier said than done. The logistics of running a cattle spread is a dawn-til-dusk job, and sometimes well into the night. Americans used to be able to do this, my own family had farms back in the 1940s and 50s, but those skills and arcane knowledge have been lost. Also, it's land intensive as well as labor intensive. Add onto it the endless regulations and paperwork and licensing and.... well, you get the idea.
Excellent for you and your family. For the other 99.5% of Americans have to buy their beef in stores. I'm a devout omnivore, I'll eat just about anything that doesn't eat me first, and I fear that a looming population and the leftist ideas of diet are going to impact my meat-eating lifestyle. We have a few specialty meat places near me where I can get grass-fed beef, but they are small operations and cannot compete with the likes of Costco, Walmart, Kroger, etc.
I'll never give up my beef! Considering raising chickens for meat as well, a good neighbor and "bartering" keeps me in fresh eggs. I put nearly an acre in garden every year, numerous fruit trees, and at least a quarter of my freezer is wild game. I was just raised this way..
I actually spent a LOT of my younger years hanging/working with my grandparents that lived thru the great depression. A WEALTH of knowledge that I wish everybody could have had the opportunity to glean. I've been very lucky in that respect..
Much better to pay the price to have it processed by a pro. I can butcher a deer and have the meat wrapped and in the freezer in a couple of hours but a cow, or even half of one, would be an all day affair (if you even have the space to do it).
Right, until they decide to confiscate your dinner for the common good. The real answer is to rid ourselves of this dictatorial system and replace it with a more realistic, liberty-minded one. The process of showing the people how bad their ideas are is excruciating. I do agree, however that we need to be more closely acquainted with what goes into their mouths. People are far too trusting of the regulatory agencies, which are so corrupted by the lobbyists for big industry, they've been rendered useless.
I'm actually moving away from Atlanta down to the family farm in South GA. Tons of cows, chickens, and goats. Definitely won't starve when this shit goes sideways.
It was a long time ago. I can't remember how long it lasted but it was 4 -5 months for 2 adults, 2 teens and one kid. To give you an idea of the quantity, a side of beef will fill the bed of a half ton pickup truck. My dad car-pooled with the person who raised about 10-12 steers/year. She sent them to a local slaughterhouse about 40 minutes drive away. The butcher wrapped the meat in white paper, froze it, and put it in cardboard boxes. I would go and pick it up. It filled the truck bed up my dads bright orange Chevy LUV truck . I remember the weather was hot so I would load and race home to get it in the freezer. The freezer was an upright and was the size of the usual refrigerator. I filled it and put the extra in our kitchen freezer. It was the best tasting beef I've ever eaten.
Not only that, but there are people out there who are literally on red meat-only diets because of their physiology (Jordan & Mikhaila Peterson to name two of my favorites). This is dumb af.
We've traded freedom for convenience. Real freedom is true independence and that means we caN survive completely without the system. Most can not. But those skills are attainable.
Muslims get exemptions because they don't eat pork or shellfish, though fish with scales are allowed.
Sorry Jews, you might have to fight your dietary restrictions just cause
Christians, you're fucked.
I have idiopathic anaphylaxis and there are certain foods I can eat with no problem, including beef. Biden can eat shit if he thinks I'm going to stop having beef.
I know muslims who eat pork. Myself, I am better of with plant based diet, I keep animal protein under 5 %. I buy fresh meat at the local butchers shop, for my dog and me. But mostly I eat potatos and vegetables. I have no overweight and I am 60 years old. No drugs, nothing hurts, perfect. It was not always like that. But the change of the diet made the trick.
This is good, stuff like this might actually start waking up the normies who just want to eat their burgers and be left alone and who until now weren’t paying attention to the totalitarian control inching its way into this country. More redpills!
Will a doctor's note exempt me from eating what I choose? Only time in my religion am I suppose to not eat meat is on Fridays during lent. Just saying.
To be fair, all these headlines about Biden limiting your meat consumption are misleading. He's never said anything about limiting meat. This all comes from a single study that was done by some college in Michigan that proposed the idea. They said if you limited meat to roughly one burger per month, it could cut agricultural emissions by 50%. This is the statistic everyone is repeating without context:
"Americans may have to cut their red meat consumption by a whopping 90 percent and cut their consumption of other animal based foods in half...Gradually making those changes by 2030 could see diet-related greenhouse gas emissions reduced by 50 percent, according to a study by Michigan University's Center for Sustainable Systems...To do that, it would require Americans to only consume about four pounds of red meat per year, or 0.18 ounces per day...It equates to consuming roughly one average sized burger per month."
Interesting enough, the "problem" revolves around cows releasing so much methane (farts & burps) into the atmosphere, however, they had this figured out way back in 2014 by introducing "fart-catching backpacks" for cows:
Finally, why is nobody talking about pork or dairy in all this, since those operations would also need to reduce emissions according to the Green New Deal?
I think the way they push this shit forward is some small leftist organization does a study. Nobody is paying too much attention. Then Fox and the NeoCons find it and amplify it a hundredfold. This makes the right react. The left sees the right reacting and loves it, so they find out what they’re reacting to and decide they agree with THAT. Suddenly a small study no one cared about becomes part of the national dialogue, and once they have that, because they control the media, they are able to push it through politically.
Maybe the Chick-fil-A cow is really president.
Lol at least he wouldn't wear a mask in a zoom meeting!
haa The cow definitely ran a better campaign! :)
????????
?❤?
Hah!!!
Time to buy a farm and grow some cows.
My son in law is rancher. I just put 250 lbs of beef in my freezer Nd inTe that much at least last year. So 10 percent of that is 25 lbs of meat a year. Joe assumes we only eat 40 lbs of beef a year.
How much does it end up costing per pound of edible meat when you buy a half or quarter cow?
As stated there are a lot of variables. Last one I sold it ended up being in the $4.25/lb neighbor hood for the customer after buying the steer from me and after their butcher fees. Pricey for burger and dirt cheap for steaks!

I have about 10 years worth of steak and burgers running around my front pasture and no intention to stop..

Nowadays I don’t even step foot into Costco, Walmart or any other big chain store unless I absolutely need something that only they have.
Support the local chains (I.e. Bucee’s in TX, Festival in MN/WI) and especially the mom and pop stores
Yeah but raising g a couple head at a time is easy. You can donit in a small pasture. We would raise a couple every year.

We used to buy a half every year and the hamburger was the best I ever tasted .

Next up, alcohol and insulin monitors. The mask mandates and vax were just the opening act.
We eat 4lbs a week between my husband and I (we are low carb) plus I cook it for the dogs along with chicken.
4lbs a week for me easy.
I literally eat 1lb minimum meat a day. 365/4 is what, 91.25? They want me eating 1/91.25th the amount i currently eat. YEAH. FUCKING. RIGHT.
I have about 10 years worth of steak and burgers running around my front pasture and no intention to stop..
All of them wearing glasses.
All. Of. Them.
Some of them even two.
And masks. Play them Grateful Fed tunes.
lol
Damnit now I'm going to have to go make a ??
April is officially eat a hamburger a day month
Touche' mon a meat.
I'm up for that challenge? Day 1: CHECK!
Day 2: Check!

I’m eating 2 burgers today just to give him the bird
This is good, stuff like this might actually start waking up the normies who just want to eat their burgers and be left alone and who until now weren’t paying attention to the totalitarian control inching its way into this country. More redpills!
This will push the fake, 3D printed meat out there.
And it will make people sick
This is INSANE! Please explain to me what the hell this has to do with climate change!
Their pretext is that methane (belched by cows, I believe) is a greenhouse gas, and far more effective than CO2.
They ignore the fact that methane decomposes quickly, mostly into water vapor plus equal molecules of CO2.
?????????
What exactly is gaslighting?
Thank you so much!
They can make up any excuse they want now.
Ever see THX 1138? " For more enjoyment and greater efficiency, consumption is being standardized. We are sorry."
That's not gonna pass.
Fuck mcdonalds. After the completely raw blood dripping pink burgers i got the other night,i will not be going to mcdonalds anymore.
When I want to cleanse my bowels, I eat one Macdonald burger. It will clean me completely out every time.
Now, put this revelation in perspective with my post from a few days ago -
With the Animal / Human Virus BioWeapon lab going up in Kansas! Where all the beef is, geographically speaking.

Who thinks the holly wood will keep themselves to 4 lbs of child flesh per year. Not me?
They want to stop cow farts from ruining the climate. Hey, why don’t the vegans stop eating beans and drinking beer then? They’re worse than the cows.
I eat gunpowder. I’m a ticking time-bomb.
