Also if you raise your own meat, a person could raise 3 of one animal for example and sell two to pay for the butchering of 1 and feeding of all 3. This is what I would do for beef probably and maybe even pork. Could buy my beef from sale barns as calves for example in which case I would not have to worry about keeping a bull and cows. Find a local meat processor and your in business. I’m glad we still have small scale meat processors available for our use. Won’t if the corps have their way. I have notices more small scale game processors now than ever before. I have friends who are big into hunting that send all their larger game to a processor. Hogs, Deer, Bear etc for around $60 per kill. They still clean their own fish, birds, rabbits, squirrel however.
