A few of my Son In Laws cattle. And a few of mine out on pasture. They get fed hay, corn silage and corn during the winter months. And the taste is noticeably better than Walmart type meat.

It’s always entertaining hearing first timers, eating small producer beef compared to feedlot and the big 4 processors quality.

I grew up on farm raised beef/pork and a lot of venison. When I graduated College and moved from Colorado to Michigan, I bought some ground beef, browned it for chili and couldn't stand the smell. I threw it out and went to a different store to buy some ground beef. Same result, so I called my dad and it took him a while to stop laughing, he just said "That's what store bought meat smells like!"

A young Holstein steer can produce excellent tasting meat. People often get fed slaughtered old dairy cows, giving the breed of bad rep.

Mass produced burger is high percentage old dairy cows.


It’s harder to put weight on them and they cost a lot more to finish. so are not considered a profitable beef producing bovine. But when young the flavor can be good.

Russian submarines looking dangerous...unlike their surface fleet

Interesting boats, but clumsy design with so many launch tubes. I would surprised if one is out and about very long without a Virginia lurking in the neighborhood with a targeting solution.

This is a good start.

I've stated it multiple times that Trump should have waited until 2027 to engage in conflict with Iran.
Iran is just going to keep stalling, and these SoH and oil issues just keep getting dragged closer to the midterms.
The media is sharpening their long knives against Republicans over economic issues, which is always the #1 focal point for the majority of voters.
Trump had 10 months of this year to continue bolstering the economy, jobs, manufacturing, oil production, farming.,etc.
He could have worked on his legacy another time.

On the cattle issue, my Dad worked at slaughter house in Minnesota not long after high school. I remember some of the gruesome stories he told me about that place .

Yes, they have always chased size, speed and firepower over stealth. Which may be a good strategy. Since they know we always know where their missile submarines are. It’s very rare when we don’t know exactly where they are at all times.

And they know this so they may as well try to overpower us. Which of course won’t work either.

. . .The NWSW is within 150mi of the Texas border and that’s why we have all beef imports from Mexico shut down; hence the sky high beef prices and when the prices are high people will sell and thus the record low herds follow record high prices.

Unfortunately, a calf in Zavala County is positive (County seat is Crystal City, TX). Big petition drive for M3 Ag Tech X-ray Sterile Technique use as a supplement to the governments current sterile fly production.

Oh F ! There go the deer
Now no more lazy ranching , going to have to ride down every single newborn calf , sheep, goat , and doctor up every embilical cord , scratch , scrap, with fly dope
Even old stray/ barn cats will be full of flies.
It was a nightmare for all the grandkids like me having to wrestle and doctor our livestock before and after school

He has an established customer base and doesn’t gouge them. But the producers costs have skyrocketed since Covid. He sells directly to the consumer. And uses a small family owned slaughter and packing facility which helps with his margins.

When I used to live in Houston area I'd buy a yearling Angus every so often, delivered to a local slaughter house and take home packages of steaks, ground beef, etc.. and fill my freezers. I even had sausage machine to process at home. Never bought beef at the store.

Rumors of Hunter Biden signaling a run for the Whitehouse?.....LOL

A crackhead whoremonger certainly fits in with the rest of the Democrat lunatics.
