They dont take up that much space. If you are in an apartment, yeah thats probably too small. But a deep freezer can get squeezed into most any garage or laundry room pretty easily.

I don't buy beef from Costco...but I have a beef with Costco. I'm pissed that they are removing the coffee grinders from a bunch of their stores.

The fight here is the cost of raising a cow in this economy. The same 900# cow I was paying $1,000 for from a local farmer 4 years ago is now $3,000.

How?

What is driving a 3x increase?

Is it feed?
Processing costs?

Thanks - good post.

You don't think these cows are getting the covid vaccines it sounds like?

They're forced to buy what the store has, and the store, in this case, is poisoning their food.


So you think local farmers aren't vaccinating their herd?

My kids and I helped my dad work cows just last weekend. Over 700 head.
Hormones. Vaccines. Castration. The works.

And they are delicious.

Local rancher in my area sells it fresh. Never frozen.


You still have to freeze it right?

I don't care where you live, you can find a local farmer that is selling grass or grain fed beef and in many cases, it is cheaper than you will find it anywhere else... They will sell it by the quarter, half, or whole cow...



Good luck finding one that hasn't been vaccinated.

If you have a garage and $150, you should have a deep freezer. You don't really need a garage, just a corner space in the house would do.

They will sell it by the quarter, half, or whole cow... Whole cow will always be cheaper but it takes freezer space and if you don't have that, find some friends to spilt a cow up with...



Used to buy it that way from neighbors. Took it to the Stanhope meat locker for processing. Always great beef.


One other thing is true about that: you won’t find a rancher/farmer who doesn’t use some vaccines. They are a must in raising livestock. Everyone uses some vaccines, the question is what vaccines.


The word “Vaccine” isn’t automatically a dirty word.

Not talking about vaccines. Thread is about mRNA being used on cattle.

I really think that was the plan all along.

Less people seeking medical attention saves money. Euthanasia death panels are something that could never be allowed in America, buuuuutttt, what If we scare them enough that they euthanize themselves or otherwise fail to seek necessary medical attention or illness prevention, well we get what we want and allow them to think they're getting what they want. Win - Win right?

No. I don’t see them administering a COVID vaccine to cattle in hopes of transmitting it to humans.

I really think the war on GMO crops and vaccinated/implanted livestock is blown way out of proportion.

The real question is what vaccines are given?

Correct! To my knowledge ALL livestock are given vaccinations. It's the type that should concern consumers. They may be trying to introduce mrna vaccines into veterinary medicine. I don't think enough trials have been done and we all should be concerned about this.
RFK is accurate, many vaccines have a place to decrease the devastating result of contagious disease. However, any new form of vaccines should undergo renewed safety protocols that assure they are safe.

I think a lot of people don't understand basic biology and our digestive system. I'm no expert, but damn.

I get it...but its cheaper because of all the extra work you have to do to prepare it. Everything will be frozen so youll need a huge freezer to store it. Not feasible for a lot of people
