Ok i'm so sorry if this is not the appropriate area for this post........If a mod could please move it if it's not in the right place......or let me know if i shouldn't post it on this board.
I know many of you are concerned with the meat you eat and that is why you raise your own meat birds......but does anyone raise or sell cattle for meat?
Dh and i have been thinking of getting a calf and raising it for the meat. We however have been put in contact with someone who has a ranch and he's starting to free range his cattle and go the organic route. He's a friends dad.
Sooooooooooooo i am wondering.....for those that do raise their own beef. How old are the cattle when it's time for them to be processed? How much meat do you get from one cow and does it get you through a year? How much would you expect to pay for the cow and the processing?
Any info at all would be greatly appreciated.
Again i do hope it's ok to post this here,
Jodie
