Banning Beef!

I am embarrassed to say this but where this video was taken is a few miles away from my house.

My soon to be step daughter has had no meat at school for a couple of weeks now.

I am so sicken by the treatment and could barely watch the footage. It made me so sad!!

I haven't seen this video and from the sounds of it I really don't want to. Animal cruelty really breaks my heart because they are just so helpless and undeserving.

My grandparents raise cows so we get our beef from them. I think many people have different theories on this but my grandparents believe that low stress on the cows produces tender beef. I'm assuming this slaughterhouse must produce ground beef only- not that it makes their treatment any better, but I can't imagine that they would have good meat from abusing their animals like that. I hope they get shut down.

I don't know if this is available where you are, but maybe you could contact a local rancher to see if they sell their beef. Typically it's a lot healthier than the meat you get in the stores. Plus I'm sure they make sure their cows are treated properly because their lively hood depends on it.

We always buy a 1/4. It's a lot of meat but we have a deep freezer in the garage for it.

My grandparents are always looking for people to purchase their beef. A lot of people buy their meat- definitely something to look into if anyone is looking for healthy meat. Much better than the factory produced meat.

I had the best memories on the farm too. We got to always bottle feed the little calves that had issues with their momma. So much fun. I had FI do it this last fall for the first time. He was amazed how the calves will just suck on your finger thinking they will get some milk from you.

Awwww!! Sounds sweet.

I went to Veterinary Technology school right out of high school and I loved that part of it. We got to watch a birthing, I castrated baby pics (which i used to love to tell the guy(s) I dated!) I am super-allergic to farms though, man, my eyes shut about swell shut. It was always worse for me near the pigs. But what you said reminded me of how much fun I had. I learned how to tackle sheep to, for clipping. Fun times.
