Who says inspectors can walk on your private property. Lock them out with the mask up faggots. If selling is the problem we got around that in my town. Just have a suggested donation per pound
One of the problems they are going to have is competing against the established meat processing plants that are already using underpaid, illegal aliens to do the work.
We already know that government agents involved in regulating the meat industry are corrupt. The question is how much more corrupt can they be?
I found a local rancher where I live and contacted them to buy meat directly from them. It was not cheaper. I knew it wasn't going to be cheaper but I did it anyways. I got fresher beef, I created a relationship with the rancher family and supported my local community instead of big business.
On average I think I paid about $4 or $5 per pound. Good price for the steaks but horrible price for the ground beef.
People just have to be willing to understand where the value is in that transaction.
I buy from a local meat company and their motto is “friends dont let friends buy meat from a grocery stores.”
I have been buying from them for almost 10 years now, and before inflation, they give the best deal, but with inflation, I will continue to support them.
If supply chain fucks off like I'm hoping. There won't be anymore competing if they can't get meat to your or continue to pay their little illegals. Your left with only your community for reliance. I say we get ahead of the race and have our grocery stores begin to have farmers bring food to be gifted upon a donation. Wean the customers from all mainstream name brand Meat veggies fruits. Hell grandma have a good reason to pick up canning again if I'd take em to the grocery store to barter with.
Problem we are seeing around here (mid west) is more and more farm land is being sold off and housing additions are springing up everywhere. More schools, higher taxes...yadda, yadda, yadda.
Rabbits, chickens in back yard too. I got the idea for rabbits from Julia Child who raised meat rabbits when her husband was assigned to France for the embassy.
This, there is no resisting mega-corps who control a corrupt government.
There is a reason why the entire economy is consolidating down into the hands of like 50 people. They know how to use the State and its corrupt agents to kill off their competition.
And if somehow these ranchers resist the inspectors, they will not resist the FBI who will be sent out to kill them.
Ranchers are hard targets. If the FBI comes for them, they'll take casualties. If they do a midnight raid to take one of the boss's men, there's a good chance they'll be ambushed on one of the roads out of the area and killed. What you're talking about is a classic scenario of how insurrections start. Cattle ranchers have their own world they live in. And the Feds aren't welcome there.
Hmm, let me guess what will happen.
Prediction: Food inspectors and plant safety inspectors will be bribed in order to shut down rancher run meat processing plants.

The problem selling straight to the normal person, is nobody wants to take a whole animal.
Then, if you have spring calves, you need to know who wants what in Jan/Feb to have a calf, that was born a year ago, ready to butcher by Aug/Sep.
You can buy a cow and have it processed. Find people to split it and share the cost. If you live in an area with cows this is a win.
Ground beef is $7 a pound where I live.

form a co-op
raise quail (TAMU coturnix quail are bred for this)
You can just about do this in an apartment
Get some quail eggs scissors for the eggs.
About 5 quail eggs = 1 chicken egg.
Get an incubator -- hatch 50-100 at a time
9 weeks from egg to laying an egg
You can eat the birds
purest curiousity; is quail as gamey as duck? My great grandmother made duck one time, and let me try it as a kid.
I ate one bite and was done, lol.
Rabbits, chickens in back yard too. I got the idea for rabbits from Julia Child who raised meat rabbits when her husband was assigned to France for the embassy.
Yeah, my thought was that they won't have an easy row to hoe, but I surely do applaud their efforts.

Or the herds will get some weird virus.
There is no inspection if you are butchering other peoples live meat.
If u butcher your own or resale then you need to be inspected by FDA.
