That's how you get people to choose differently. Not considering inflation ... Costco's got decent meat.
Most folks don't know how easy it is to keep your own livestock. Regular visits from a trusted vet is about the hardest part. Yeah, you have to take care of 'em a bit, but for most of the day they're out there doing their own thing. Takes more effort keeping my dog acceptable for the indoors. The horses are a close second.
If you don't have enough land for it yourself, for a nominal fee you can go buy a steer and leave it in the herd until you're ready to harvest it. After that ya just need a stout bag sealer, some good freezers and reliable power. Then you're on your way.
Around here neighbors share almost everything. Funny how a venison loin or backstrap can be prized over a farm animal offering. Venison sausage takes extra work, but it's better than anything I can find under a commercial label. Also, anyone can hunt deer, but it's a skill like anything else that puts food on the table.
I guess my point is: They might be trying to make it harder, but they'll never find a way to make it "impossible" (see what I did there). LOL

Doing nothing and going along to get along is the best way to lose everything.
Did you know there's a tick-borne disease out there now that makes you allergic to eating meat?
Can't be coincidental.
