Kansas just had 3,000 cows die of “heat” on one lot. This is not normal but I’m just crazy for thinking that right? Well my husband who is a wonderful man but isn’t as invested as I am in finding the truth came home today and told me someone he works with, his family has a ranch in Texas. They got a letter the other day telling them to lay down their steer and get $1500 a head. They can not send to slaughter and will not be able to send any animals anywhere commercial. They can only sell private which is far more difficult for a big ranch like this one. Apparently the owner is drafting a nice “F you” letter to the FDA. My husband is getting closer and closer to seeing everything is true. I had really hoped it wasn’t true ranchers and farmers were being paid to destroy food but I knew deep down it was. Heaven help people to see the truth soon. I honestly believe the lot that lost 3000 to “heat” probably killed them and is probably being paid to lie. Could be wrong I guess.

Sell beef direct to the people.
I found a local farmer and buy half a cow at a time because I’m trusting store food less and less. This guy told my husband their problem is the huge amount of steer they have is hard to move privately and I know lockers are hard to come by. When I pick up my cow I have to get it the day it’s ready because they need the space. I drive over an hour to get it. I put a deposit down, then when the cow gets sent to the butcher I pay for the rest of the cow. They when I pick up I pay for the processing. I know too many people who won’t do it that way because it’s not convenient, and you have to store a lot of food in addition to paying so much at once.
How does one go about finding a local farmer for half a cow? Is there a tried a true method? Any suggestions are appreciated.
