Nat, Woody, and Sanet readers;
I too read both the Sanet and Graze-L lists. I don't recall any
outright anti-animal husbandry comments on Sanet (maybe I missed them).
But there does seem to be very few, if any, Saneters who have much to say
about animals at all.
I can't help but wonder what ever happened to the truly self sufficient
(and therefore self-sustaining) old style farmers who raised a cash crop,
but who also always had a good sized vegetable garden for the family use
and for a few extra bucks of income AND who also kept chickens (for eggs
and meat), hogs (for pork), and a few cows to milk (and naturally would
fatten up and butcher un-wanted male calves to fill the freezer box with
beef). Is this totally a thing of the past on the mainland? I do see it
still practiced here, but to a lessor extent than in decades past.
Is there anyone here who remembers the time when most folks didn't have
a freezer at home, but rented space in the town ice house to store their
bulk meat?
