(16,038 posts)it's all true..I haven't killed any chickens for over a year, and on the day I do, I'm in this conversation..
edit..The point is, out here on the farm, life's a bit more real sometimes..I have a calf we got as a bottle calf from my FIL it's now around 1k lbs..a couple hundred more and I'll take him to the local processor and eat him for the next year or more..I've had to chase him down after he got out of his fence, treated him for flies in the summer, carried him water when the hydrants were frozen, packed hay and feed to him,..every day for a year and a half..he is food and I've taken good care of him. Same with my chickens..they give me eggs and I take out the terror that was having 3 roosters and a cockerel in a flock of 12 hens..We kept the cockerel. The last animal I killed was a cat that was hit by a car on the road and was dragging his hind quarters..we currently have 9 outdoor cats..we take good care of our animals, but all have a purpose..
