The Lebanese currency has gotten very weak.
Ramadan there is rather lean this year.
At the livestock auction here in MO, slaughter goats are bringing an avg of $4.25/lb live weight for #1 rated 50-60 lb animals. They dress out at 50-60% of that weight so with some markup, store price would probably be around $10/lb. This is the time of year they bring the best price due to Easter & Ramadan. I'm just getting started with a herd of meat goats. Got one chunky little buckling that would probably be considered grade #1. Goats are the only meat animal I can practically raise on this hilly, rocky 14 acres. That and I do want to get a small breed of pig. Gotta have some fat to go with that lean goat meat.
Need to get my high tunnel put up this year to extend the growing season two months on either end. Some years winter is so mild here that I could probably grow something year round. Got one hen that lays pretty much every day and I don't even feed it. Need to get a half a dozen fertilized eggs from the neighbor and let her raise them as she is a survivor. She can also be broody. The other two hens and a rooster all got killed by hawks.
Slowly getting as food self sufficient as possible.
