[QUOTE="grannysoo, post: 605228, member: 6980"] Stockman Grassfarmer, Santa Clause, Easter Bunny, and an honest government in Washington all have something in common..... I totally agree. That's one of the places that I started too. Still have a subscription to the rag. I'm glad that you moved from the city and bought a farm and animals. I'm glad that you are trying to get educated about the best way to do things. As for taking a couple of years to find out? Take that time and take that loss of profits and life if you wish. You are being led astray. I do believe that Salatin's books and intentions are good, but reference the Santa Clause comments above. In a perfect world, everything would be perfect and his systems and ideas would work. The world however is not perfect. The one thing I ask you to do in this situation is: [b]Follow the Money[/b] If Salatin is making so much money farming, why isn't he [b]farming[/b]? Looks to me like he's spending a lot of time on books, seminars, and other money making projects other than farming. Perhaps the only reason that he's farming at all is to give him "credibility". Organic is going to turn out to be a complete and total sham. At one time, I thought it was going to be the big wave of the future, but I don't think so anymore. I don't worry about selling organic meats. I sell a meat that is free of antibiotics and hormones, is pastured, is fed quality hay, fed minerals, and is finished with a small amount of corn based feed. I am also careful to work them in order to keep stress levels down, and have them killed and butchered in the most humane way. Works for me and my cows look the best they ever have looked. As for your skinny cows, I've seen worse. Wean those babies, worm those adults, and get about raising cattle right. You've been given a lot of good advice in this thread. [b]Listen to it.[/b] Just my 2 cents worth, and that's probably worth less than a penny. [/QUOTE]
