Im not sure if I Can type or ask the question properly,,but Im going to try.
There is a post about the very low price of calves right now. My question is veal is not cheap in the store.
Is it possible,,or maybe even legal,,for a farmer to sell a live calf to a customer ,then butcher it at the farm? Its not that hard to butcher a calf,,and slice the back legs into cutlets,,chops can be done with a good handsaw,,etc....not much different than doing a deer. If it is done in winter,,it seems possible? I used to do it when I lived at my dads little farm in NJ. At the time if you took it to the slaughterhouse and brought it back chilled out it wasnt too expensive,,I Dont know about now,,or different areas. We were lucky at the time a slaughterhouse was 5 miles away,we knew them well.I even worked there for many years.My dad was happy,,he always made a good buck selling the hogs,or veal , etc if the people saw them at the farm and saw the meat cut up.The people were happy too.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
