“Why would anyone teach their kids violence? What is wrong with you?”
Last year I made a post about our local fair and how sad it was for all of the kids on the day of the sale. Someone left that comment and then proceeded to call us murderers, etc.
If you’ve ever been to the sale day, there are tears everywhere. My little man is wiping away the tears in this picture as he does his best to be brave to walk his lamb in to get sold. It’s the last time he’ll see her and no matter how many times you do this, it’s still hard.
Here’s the (kind of ugly) truth: we seem to live in a society that wants the end product but doesn’t want to see how it’s made.
We love to drink the milk but we’re outraged when we see a cow getting milked.
We love the steak but we believe “murdering” cows is evil.
We’ll scarf down a pound of bacon but we could never harm those cute little piggies.
We’ve become so removed from our actual food sources that when we see how it’s made, we are appalled.
The same people that are outraged by raising food are almost never the ones that are out feeding animals in the freezing temperatures or blazing heat.
They aren’t the ones out until midnight doing everything in their power to save a steer that bloated.
They aren’t the ones teaching their kids about the cycle of life while they’re secretly doing their best to hold back their own tears.
Since no one else wants to say it, I will; living comes at a cost. For us to live something else must die. It could be the eco systems and small animals displaced and killed from farming those vegan plates or the sacrifice of cattle, deer, elk, lambs and other meat that we consume.
It is our mission and duty to raise these animals to have the best life they can live while they’re here. It doesn’t make sale day any easier and it doesn’t make hauling steers to the processor each month fun but it’s necessary. We are grateful we can do the part that so many want to pretend doesn’t have to happen to put food on the table.
This isn’t “teaching our kids violence,” it’s teaching them the circle of life and the gratitude we should all have for every meal we eat.

A trick to multiplying these allium flowers. I'm not great at videos but they may be okay enough for you too be able to multiply your allium. No bulbs needed.
