      Yep. She the better life they have, the better for you, too.

      I don’t eat much meat, but I enjoy it. I also do my own slaughtering and butchering for most of my meat.

      Of course, with a cow, that gets to be far more than a one-person job.

        100%, quality of life for the animal is quality of meat for you.

        Deer processing is a one (or two, with beers) person knife job, but cattle is best handled by the pros. I once had a calf die a a couple months in of bloat, and that fucker was about 4x the amount of work and meat, even with two people. I can’t imagine how long it would take with a full grown bull.
