I raise hogs, chickens for meat, chickens for eggs, two gardens, a shite pile of fruit trees, and I live on the bayou and catch fish in my hoopnets. I buy a cow every year from a friend. I have four freezers.

Do you buy rice by chance?

nice, probably a stupid question, but like I said, no idea about this stuff...

are the egg chickens and the meat chickens different? or do you eat the egg chicken after a while?

my family has a pond where I get most of my fish, pretty much unlimited supply, and I usually kill at least 1 deer a year. yeah I guess I wouldn't necessarily need to raise my own cow, but could just buy one and have it butchered.
