[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 856733, member: 4674"] Looks like some one wants to make this pololicital. This post is not about that, I am going to relate a story that an elder gentlemen that has now died told about surviving in the depression in the twentys and thirtys. He raised a sold chickens and not a lot of them at a time. he said that he could sell a laying hen for $4 when a cow was selling for not much more. He stated that a hen could make it on her own by rustiling up her food. The eggs were available daily if you had more than one. You could pick a chicken off of the yard and make a meal out of it. He said that a calf could be killed but the meat would need to be canned to keep. He tried to get everything back to the basics. All lot of cows were bought an killed by the government at that time they were killed and buried. I think the going price was around $12. [/QUOTE]
