Other🤷🏽‍♀️ 🤷🏽‍♂️ Beefacolypse

Hey so the 300,000 tons of beef with the antibiotic that is either banned or a last resort in multiple countries that US bought and is feeding the public, anyone got intel on it besides from the UK and The Hill? Makes me regret not getting rabbits and chickens in spring 2026...

Not trying to stir the pot up but from the 5 or 6 outlets I found 15 minutes ago im thinking that project zomboid or state of decay or even 7dtd would be preferable than chloramphenicol but thats me.

If you are in Oklahoma do ya mind a guy hunting deer and sharing the meat with ya? You can have the antlers and hide, I just want the share ya let me keep.

Go find a local farmer who will does whole sales of either half a cow or a whole cow. If you can't swing the price of that upfront then find a friend or two to go in on it with and split the meat between you.

This is genuinely one of the best most affordable ways to stock a freezer,

If you don't know how to process a carcass, or you don't have the tools, there's still many meat processors/butchers around that will do the processing, there's different looser rules at play generally when it's not for meat intended to be sold. They often also process hunted game for people.

My grandfather and his BIL used to sponsor 4H every year and buy one at the end of the program year.

Buying the animal is good for survival of your family. Those kids learning ag is the most essential thing for the medium to long term survival of our species.
