[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today we got half a baby cow for $700, processed and very clean, all wrapped and frozen. It filled our upright freezer to the top and packed our inside freezer on 3 shelves. Last November we paid a processing fee of $100 and got a whole deer free. You cannot get more organic than that. Lean meat fed well without any antibiotics or filthy contamination.

Add bulk shop pantry and paper items, canned goods. In the summer we stock up on farm vegetables and fruit. We will need another upright freezer so I can freeze bread and cooked food we cook on the weekends.

We spend less for a year or more of food than what some of you spend in a month. [/quote]

My family has stopped eating any venison at all, and I'd advise you to, as well.  Over 80% of cultivated deer are infected with CWD, and the numbers are very high for wild deer as well.  This is the same family of prion diseases as Mad Cow.  Although there's not yet any evidence of cross-species infection with CWD, the latency period is so long that it could be years before we find out.  In other words, it may be as "organic" as you can get, but that doesn't mean it's without "filthy contamination."

Yup. I used to know a deer farmer down in the Shenandoah Valley. She had to kill her entire herd. Scary stuff that CWD is.[/quote]
