Pictures of meat? Or cattle?
Both.
I'm asking for credentials. It's obvious you love to see yourself type - you've been on BYC for five months, and made over 3k posts - an average of 20 posts a day. Posts as vital as "I don't know" in response to other people's questions, other posts containing misinformation. Real farmers don't have that kind of time on their hands - especially in spring, and choosing a username doesn't make it reality.
The direction of the thread was trying to figure out how Raech could come as close as possible to what she WANTS to put on a small piece of land.
If you were a farmer, you'd know that you don't bring in livestock just assuming you can depend on another farmer to feed that livestock. Only cash crops are grown with an eye to having more than you need - and they're sold as quickly as possible to the highest offer. Cash flow is vital to farms. Your neighboring farmer is not a grocery store for animals; unless you have a pre-existing *very* good relationship, he's not going to happily go pull out the tractor or skid-steer to fetch you a bale of hay every few days, and if he does so at all, you'll be paying premium prices. He is also not going to hold back enough to get *your* animals through the winter if he has a chance to sell it to someone else first - and when hay is scarce, he WILL have that chance. The feed store, OTOH, *is* a grocery store for animals - but the hay they carry is often expensive and quality varies widely.
If you were grass cattle farmer, you'd know that an adult brood cow consumes approximately 75lbs of hay per day, and in the two months that has to be prepared for anywhere besides the deep south, that's 4500 lbs of hay - about five 5x6foot round bales, or approximately fifty squares per cow. Raech lives in Washington; winter may or may not be grazeable any given year - but it's guaranteed to be wet. If Raech is going to prepare for winter with hay alone, and have a reliable store of it, she's going to need another building to store it in. That building will require ingress/egress areas; the total space requirement, on a very small homestead, is significant. Organic certification is all about record keeping, and much of farming is about making calculations based on those records and other data you know - often on the fly. You haven't demonstrated any of these skills.
just about have all of my plugs transplanted into bigger pots. I have all kinds of repurposed pots that i have saved over time, found around my farm, and also some washed/used solo cups! I have about 30 more tomatoes then they are done. Peppers are still quite small and will need more time before transplant
