We farm and own horses.
Yep, a lot of people don’t calculate that it costs a certain amount to buy the horse but then, it keeps eating whether it gets ridden or not.
Horse slaughter plants serve a sad purpose. Some horses just don’t have a future. I would rather they ride a few hours to a well-regulated US plant rather than get trucked for days out of the country.

Horses for courses . . . like the appetizer, the entree, maybe even the soup.

it’s different when you raise them. they have a face and they look at you.
it’s why i am grateful that other people are butchers. if i had to do it my diet would be inverted, probably. i couldn’t go veggie but it’d be a lot less meat.

i would think a great upside, not that i advocae for it, would be horses are fed a better diet and require a lot less antibiotics to deal with problems, than average feedlot cattle do.

You need to come out to Nevada and see for yourself the wild horses. The idea is great but because of the size of the herds it is not uncommon to see some that are damn close to starving. If the folks who support this idea would see for themselves the full picture they would agree the answer is to slaughter half of the herds.
There’s too many horses for land space available. In dry years these horses aren’t living the good life. BLM does a real crappy job at taking care of them. There’s not enough people willing to buy a wild mustang and feed it. People can’t sell a horse in my area because there’s no buyers. The horse ends up being turned loose to feed on its own.

“Does it taste good?”
Indeed it does. I’ve had it several times in Russia, and it is better than beef, in my opinion. It is finer grained than beef, kind of in between beef and venison, and a little bit sweet.

Nope. My boys are all adults and have run as far away from Farm Life as humanly possible.
Idiots. ;)
This is MY first go-round with home-grown beef, so I’m wondering how *I* will react when the time comes. I’m made of pretty tough stuff, but sometimes my human side overtakes my cyborg side, LOL!

Sorry. I’ve only BEEN a Farm Girl for 20 years now; I’m not an OLD cow-hand like you! I’m still learning the ropes. :)
