I used to be one of those “friends” getting beef, but the guy stopped. Can you imagine a nationwide network of boutique cattle breeder people selling to small groups personal customers?
Seems like an all-round good deal for both sides, or has the business declined too badly?
Beef prices are at an all time high and have to be. Feed prices are also at an all time high.
I sold range feed beef only. No vacination and no steroid injection. The cows were the only ones that got any care, calves were milk fed.
I believd the widespread and growing govt use of “drones” is to monitor activities on private property and to hunt down anyone who tries to live “off the grid”
Someone, somewhere someday will know if citizens have cattle, are growing crops, or are collecting rainwater (illegal) and will come after them for taxes
They are already using satellites and maybe drones? to assess higher property taxes on citizens who make home improvements
