Not like that around here, most worked the farm and a job to pay for the farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Just had a couple awesome NY strips off the grill with some crazy salad concoction. Grill is working so much better after I cleaned it last week. Outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchy Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I did a little 3 pound prime rib roast for me and the kids. Dusted off a bottle of red in the process. Delish. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen as cheap as $1.99 here in MN. 1 hour ago, 1jkw said: With the number of farms that have been killed off I'm surprised there is no shortage of milk. It used to be mom and dad milking 40 twice a day in a tie stall. Now we have large farms milking 8000 3 times a day. The farm my grandmother grew up on is no more. It is a manure pit for one of those dairies. I'm not a fan of them, but they provide a far better life to their herd then many small farms can do. 55 minutes ago, NaturallyAspirated said: Meat is up, meanwhile cattle prices drop.

We had some really good farms here and a few shady ones too, not many herds of over 50 or 60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the capability to milk up to 110 in a tie stall barn. When my grandpa and uncle built that barn, we were the largest milking herd for 40+ miles around. When we sold, we were the smalling milking herd in the milk truck route. One of my cousin's farms milks around 800 head a day. I can't imagine the roller coaster.

They have a silage pile that has 3 sheep's tooth loaders packing and smoothing during harvest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start to first milk, they can have one built in under a year. They have their own construction company and concrete plant for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
