I could probably raise some livestock, and then send them off to the butcher for money...but I don't think I could eat it myself. Although if I got really attached to the animal I'm not sure if I could do it. I understand what your saying, flatcoat.

I would get ticked off and upset if I sold an animal as a pet, and it ended up being someone's dinner. I previously had a mouse-I couldn't take it with me in college, and my mom wouldn't look after it-she made me get rid of it. I gave to a friend of mine who said she really would look after him, (he was really really tame), but she ended up feeding him to her snake. I was very upset.

My mom had a good way of thinking about it , you may or may notagree. God gave it to me to play with and take care of in return it gives it's life to feed me and help be able help others.

I understand your way and the farm way, it has to be a way of living. I used to be a vegitarian. My calf "AStarAndAHalf" will be raised at the local historic farm for the summer and then go live in a yard at a dairy farm with the other 4H cows and be a dairy cow for a while. Otherwise she would just live in this guy's barn/field.
