If you're raising livestock to save money, you won't. It's more expensive. We raise all of our own chicken, beef and pork and it costs more than what I would pay at a grocery store. But what I get in return free range egg yolks that are a golden orange with the full concentration of nutrients. Pasture raised beef raised on a variety of pasture grasses. Even the hay we supplement the cows with, we know the farmer who grows that hay. He lives one town over and is a friend of ours and delivers us a bunch of round bales on his gooseneck trailer. The kids love jumping across the bales and they try to "parkour" big gaps. Our pork also is pasture raised. They are allowed to root, dig willows and do everything pigs naturally live to do. The result is well marbled, tender meat. Going back to the cows, I'm lactose intolerant if I buy milk from a grocery store, but when we milk our cows and I drink it raw, my body has no problem digesting. The majority of food sold in grocery stores is poison. Avoid processed food and go for organic, non gmo, pasture raised and free ranged. It's more expensive, but I've noticed a big different in energy and mental clarity. I have more energy and better mental processing ability in my 30s than I ever did in my teens and 20s when I was supposed to be "at my peak". The main things I changed was diet: no more chips, soda, candy, highly processed foods. Replaced that with pasture raised, free range, organic anything. Primary diet of meat, vegetables and carb (bread, pasta, potatoes). I drink coffee in the AM and water the rest of the day. I will enjoy wine or scotch in the evening if I desire. The other thing I stopped doing was watching TV. That stuff is brain rot. I now watch things where I learn new skills. The last year or so I've been studying electricity and solar power (we live off grid) and can now calculate, size and assemble a full solar power system for a home.
