yup agree, just like cheap consumer products...the phrase "made in america" was systematically dismantled.

people are being forced into buy trash for meats and produce

if they sampled real beef and real chicken they would think it fell from the heavens

wait until they are buying printed foods.

oh and you might know this already but real chicken and beef are super healthy to eat, the reason the commercial beef and commercial chicken they say is not good for you is because of the junk they feed the live stock and conditions they live in and the hormones pumped into them

they pump in antibiotics and dye , it is just absolutely gross

and over half of the meat products were sent over seas, processed and then shipped back over here

then you are getting months of frozen meats that went through hell and back , it will effect the nutrition value and taste

yes I know this. As an example...I was in indonesia, I was in a very nice restaurant and ordered familiar food to me chicken.

i figured you were well informed, you know your stuff

well I get the chicken and it tastes like fish.

omg yes, and the times i ate that kind of commercial chicken , it was sour and the texture was tough , the skin was nasty

i was like this chicken did not have a good life at all

I complain and eventually get to the ?manager?. It turns out, they only feed the chicken fish in their diet. That is when I knew I had learned you are what you eat. Yuuuck!

when we raised cattle and live stock, they were open pastures , fed clean grains and fresh hey , fresh water from the streams running through the meadow , never used any artificial stuff in their foods, we had real quality beef

i dont mean tired by that face but expressed like how horrible for them to serve that

we never had a sick cow or calf in our heard

we never had any birth defects or weaklings or ill, all were gorgeous stock strong and lively

they were hilarious to, some of the things they would do when we would round them up

funny , I'm in the habit of asking the kind of beef a eatery is serving. I prefer corn fed and can taste the difference. not that grass feed is not good ...I just prefer out of habit corn feed taste.

oh definately

corn and molasses makes the meat juicy a bit more fatty and tender

grass fed is more lean but not as tastey

bailing hay was some of the hardest work I did in my life.

we found out that really we did not need to round them up, over time we would just call em in when they heard us dumping the feed and hey in to the feeding bins, sometimes they would follow us back to the barn yard when we were out in a truck checking on the heard to make sure none were injured or anything, they all followed us back to the barn and stared at us when we got back to the barn hahahaha it was so funny

i loved bailing hey and straw

stacking them in lofts

now they do not do that much anymore, they just pack it in one huge roll

yeah famillar .....I had 2nd cousins that were dairy farmers....they are the worst...when they need milking they are waiting at the door...

omg @Groot i have something funny to tell you , well it was hilarious to me and my dad lol

if you miss your alarm....which was rare ...the mooing will wake you.

Pamphlet and 412 are taking calls Live On Air. You are welcome to call in using Pre-Screening.

my dad would farm the land around the pasture , he would rotate crops each year and the years he planted field corn, after harvest he would put up an electrical fence and let the cattle out to eat all the fodder and left over cobs the combines missed, it helped fatten them up without costing anything, well ...... lol one day

as the cattle were out grazing in the harvested corn field, one of the cows there got curious about the electrical fense, my dad was sitting on the swing on the porch looking onward, she approached the wire causiously and was sniffing at a distance, then she decided to get really close and she LICKED IT HAHAHAHAHAHHA she bolted back and bucked and ran in circles

my dad split his sides laughing, she stood back and stood there for almost an hour staring at the electrical fence bilwildered

I've been woken many a night to retrieve cattle that simply walk thru a fence and eventually you have several wandering along the country rode until someone call to let you know cattle are out.

when they were dropping calves, a few we would bring into the barn if it was cold out before they were about to drop a calf, a day or so after it was born, i would sit at the base of the fence on the outside so not to disturb mom and calf, i would stick my face in the fence and the calf would sniff my nose then try to lick my nose hahahaha it was so neat

hahahaha @Groot that happened many times to my dad with his cattle

my sister had a smart horse who figured out how to open gaits hahahaha

we finaly got that resolved and on april fools my sister ran up the stairs early one morning yelling, dad dad the cows are out, my dad without looking outside ran down stairs put on his jeans and boots and about to run out the door and my sister yelled APRIL FOOLS , i was like sis you are an ass for that lol

did you ever have to help with the birthing...I mean with rope around your wrist, a hand winch , block and tackle etc?
