At the time I was rolling my eyes but some guy didn’t have money for feed and traded us 2 steers, we have one in the freezer and the other one will be soon.
Then my son wanted to buy some cattle that our neighbor was selling so we also have 6 bred cows, 5 steers and 1 heifer. He got them ridiculously cheap-long story-so as long as we have feed, we’re okay on the beef front.
Then we had a great misfortune, hail came across our farm and almost ruined all of our crops but one good thing came out of it, the seed company isn’t going to harvest the milo and we can bale it up for the cows.
Very good!
We raised our own so it was strange having to buy meat from a grocery when we sold out after I was grown.
