[QUOTE="angie2, post: 476741, member: 7409"] OK, friends of mine, Jane and Joe had a butcher shop. It belonged to Joe's dad, but he wanted to quit, too old he said. So Jane and Joe took over. The shop was right in Joe's dads yard. They went to the farm and shot and quartered there, like we have ours done. Then they would bring it back to their shop. Cut, grind and package. They also did hogs and deer. They were inspected and licensed. They worked together so they had no employee costs. They did not have their own cattle. (BUT, you can sell your own if you follow regs and have it inspected. Neighbors do this and sell at farmers market. Make big bucks advertising it as natural. ) Back to Jane and Joe. Yes, they did very well and enjoyed being self employed. They did not have a big set up but enough to pay their bills and then some. They could have expanded, but chose not too. They got out only after Joe's siblings caught on to how well they were doing and started family feud. So ~ if you [u][i]want[/i][/u] to do it, do it. See my signature line? JMO [/QUOTE]
