If you are not willing to do these things, do not complain about where your food comes from, because unless you handle it yourself, you never really know.
25 calves wow I thought we took on alot when we got 5, we did loose one. Poor thing. We are doing ours with some friends since they are in the country and were in the city. We bought the animals and they take care of them. We also have 17 chickens which I believe 5 are roosters (there dinner) the rest are layers and were looking into meaters, and a couple of piggies too. Wow what a life.
