I must admit that I am somewhat concerned about this being a cost effective manner of getting beef on the table though...

If you show up early, you can see how your chickens are treated when processed ( yes, that means killed. ) As I drove off last time I stopped to see the other chickens and the laying hens wandering the fields in the grass down the hill. I think the pigs were hiding under the trees.
