It sounds like those who live in the country can do well adding a steer or two to the acreage.
I’m seeing this in the supermarkets already - an expanding section of the meat department is dedicated to “plant based meats.”
They suck like turkey bacon. Veggie patties are always a disappointment.
I have 30 acres and grow hay. At some point, I will put up a fence, put cows on part of it, hay the rest, and grow my own beef if necessary.
I tried to buy a standing rib roast , 3.85 pounds, yesterday and it was over $100.
I said no thanks.
We are not poor, but that is a ridiculous price, for a cut of meat I used to buy twice a year.

Well rib eye steak 22 dollars a pound in Wal Mart...probably 25 dollars in Publix....I have switched to fish....the future is red beans and rice

Had an impossible whopper the other day I was curious. Other than being significantly more salty than a regular whopper it was nearly identical in texture and “beef” flavor. I’m not sure if that proves that the boffins succeeded in making synthetic hemoglobin look and taste like the real thing or that burger king real beef is of such quality as to be easily replicated with synthetics. Either way in a blind taste test I would bet most wouldn’t be able to tell in a side by side of the real beef was slated to the level of saltiness.
Here in Texas you can buy a quarter of a steer grass fed off private land not more than 3 miles from my front door I’ll never be without briskets or beef ribs. Go in with a couple of friends and buy a whole steer and split it up. Pitty the folks that live in northern hellhole cities y’all gonna have to be vegans.
We have a feral hog apocalypse going on in Texas so much so the state says kill them all no license, bag limit, method restrictions nor season. 24/7/365 pig murder is not only sanctioned it’s encouraged. The sub 50#ers are delicious slow smoked over oak for 12 hours. They are only slight more invasive than the Red Axis deer tearing up South Texas ranch lands as well. Again exotic no closes season nor bag limits. Country boy can survive.
Regulations make it rather complicated, but you could sell livestock shares to your neighbors. They’d help pay for the upkeep (with a small profit to yourself) and then share in the meat after processing. Even the hides, hooves and bones can be sold or otherwise put to good use.
Are the adult feral hogs edible? Could they be used as petfood?
Saw rib eyes $18.78/lb. WTAH?
I’m planning a trip to your great state to hunt feral hogs. Are there guides or outfits that provide help for people like me who want to bag a hog?
Beck is always a profit of doom and a master of fear tactics. I don’t rely on the supermarket completely. There’s a healthy supply of venison here and access to more. I know local farmers who sell beef if it comes down to it. I’m single so I don’t eat much to begin with. What’s disturbing about this is the government attacking another segment of our country. The climate freaks have been attacking the beef industry for years and now have control of the U.S. Government. I don’t see any way out other than a full on revolution.
Soylent green coming soon—the wars will be fought over who is the main ingredient.
And, of course Dr. Mengele Gates is now apparently, the largest owner of farmland in the US.

I’ve only eaten one “veggie burger” patty. It was a couple years ago at a mom-n-pop bar and grill.
I thought the veggie patty was excellent. My meal was a beef burger and some kind of fries, and I ordered the veggie patty with no bun or other toppings out of curiosity and ate it plain with a fork.
Even after finishing my meal and not really being hungry anymore it still tasted great. Texture and flavor were spot on and I actually thought it tasted better than a beef patty.
The waitress said it was made mainly with “pea protein” and that she really likes them also. I didn’t ask who the supplier or manufacturer was.
Ever since, I’ve wanted to go back and have another, but since the plandemic closed the restaurants we’ve gotten away from eating out as often.
Maybe I got lucky and found the holy grail of veggie patties, but I’m certainly open to trying another one. I don’t want the government telling anyone they’re not eating beef anymore though.
