Many of us raise our animals for food. IN my case I want to know how well it was treated from day one. I want to know it had the best life possible and was humanely Dispatched without drama. I also want to be sure to use as much of the animal as possible without waste.
For instance.... I want to raise Guinea Fowl. There is a good market here for Keets because this is Tick country. So I hope to sell Keets and hatching eggs. But there will be leftovers for the season... those that dont go into the breeding flock will be processed.
Guinea products I want to sell:
I want to make
I will be making my own from all my poultry
home canned
preserving
duck meat
I also want to raise Tilapia for the table through Aquaponics setup. Not sure I could do the whole thing with the hydropnics too. But I know how to raise fish....
Processed and filet and frozen or
Home canned
After fish stock the bones can be ground for fish meal added to garden... or fed to the chickens. Same goes for bone broth processing of all left over bones.... once the broth is made the bones powder up nicely
I may try to raise sheep for meat but I would have to have help with the processing.... Barbados Black belly is a hair sheep and the meat supposed to be lean.... but I am afraid of sheep.... funny that.
I am not afraid of goats but the only goats I will have will be pets.
