We buy calves from a neighbor and raise them on grass.<br />We do not butcher them ourselves. <br />We have figured out the cost and it is definitely cheaper to raise our own, especially comparing the cost to organic, grass fed beef.<br />Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14643387947219993819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-84752387095421800532013-08-14T17:18:20.468+10:002013-08-14T17:18:20.468+10:00That was a well written article.

Tell me, do you have a geni on stand by in case of power outage? I sure wouldnt want to lose it. <br /><br />I have many memories of coming home from school to find my Mum with half a carcass on the big family table and a meat cleaver raised above her head before coming down onto the big block with a thud. You soon learn to respect your Mum when you see her doing stuff like this. I dont think my son will have the same appreciation though he did just expect me to lug a 25kg bag of seed to the backyard. On one hand its a compliment because he knows his Mum can do that but on the other hand he should be offering. So confusing these days.....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12605358521258969537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-82436385748516666102013-08-14T16:51:27.638+10:002013-08-14T16:51:27.638+10:00Great article Liz.

To buy high quality grass-fed beef that's been treated as well as I'm sure your steers have been, is much more expensive per kg at farmers markets, so you're probably saving even more money by comparison to that market. Not sure what I'd do with 40kg of sausages though, that would last for years in our house!city garden country gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477373490943625987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-44780574569383185492013-08-14T13:13:49.161+10:002013-08-14T13:13:49.161+10:00BOO WHO.
