So, this is a sort of esoteric or strategic discussion of a deeper mindset whites are capable of having that I don't think the other races can do. We often say "think outside of the box" but I don't think that means what it used to mean in the 90s. Today, I'd say something like, "Change the battlefield."
When I started farming, I did so because I felt like I could do better than the people who are currently farming. I felt like I could spend less money and sell more product. If I didn't feel this way, I wouldn't have done it. I might have kept a few cows or sheep for my family but I wouldn't be running larger acreage and tens of head of cows and hundreds of head of sheep.
The reason why I felt like I could beat all the other farmers is because I was going to fight on a different battlefield than they do. They were trying to optimize feed and fertilizer, spraying their fields with insecticides and fungicides and herbicides and drilling seed into the soil. They were setting up complicated vaccine regimens and kept antibiotics on hand for each possible disease they might see.
Me? I was going to move my cows twice daily with polywire. I needed a fence charger and some plastic posts and some reels of wire. That's it.
So far, I've been doing pretty good. I had the sale barn ask me what feed I am giving my animals. "Grass. Sunlight. Rainfall." I never see the vet. If an animal gets sick, it's free dog food. Move, move, move the animals.
This year I have way more grass than I can use. I could probably run 3x as many animals and still be safe. I'm not going to expand the herd right now, however, due to other concerns and such.
I'm fighting a different battle on a different battlefield.
The jews want us to engage them on their terms. They control the media, the government, the internet, the money supply, even most of the churches out there. They think they have won because they can dominate on all of those battlefields.
Are you going to take them on by trying to build a media empire to rival them? Good luck with that. Do you think you are going to win elections if the jews know you are trying to destroy them? Or maybe you think you can get rich enough that you can buy your way to exterminate the jews. Again, if you can do that, go for it. I can't.
Think outside of the box. Pick where you want to fight your battles. Don't fight battles you can't win. Just pick another battlefield.
We can win this because we always do win. Your ancestors fought them multiple times. They know this. You should too. They know what is coming next. And it's coming sooner rather than later.
What is the going price for healthy young sheep?
Also what revenue potential does each have? With cow i get the milk or the meat. Sheep the wool or what about the meat?
Have you measured the profitability of one versus the other?
What have you raised beside sheep and cows? goats?
We need laws that enable guys like you to offer your products directly to market with little to no regulation. Some towns have farmers markets that they try to help facilitate this family farm market culture but there doesn't seem to be enough lobby in place to look after the smaller operations. The big agricultural operations actually lobby in favor of regulations as barriers to entry for smaller farmers.
That was a fun thing to learn when i was studying economics and regulation. Why would businesses argue for yellow and red tape harassment on their own business? Ah, because they were already cozy with the politicians and don't want to allow other new competition to be able to navigate the yellow and red tape. Market share, monopolization, barriers to entry.
I remember i spent a weekend studying how USDA fucks over small farmers and it was a very depressing deep dive into a lot of fuckery.
We're seeing cow-calf pairs go for over $4k.
Sheep can get somewhere around $200.
Revenue potential is always non-zero. It's the margin thats important. For my operation, I buy some hay each year for winter and supplement with some protein and other things. It ends up costing around $8k for all of my animals.
I sell my animals direct to anyone that wants them. As long as you buy the animal, there's no regulations. If you want the meat, you can pay me to butcher it for you. Or I might do it for free.
I can't sell cuts of meat but I have been known to accept donations to my farm, and I share some of the meat I can't sell out of my own kindness.
The fuckery of the USDA is that I can't plug into the supply chain of the USA. It used to be that when someone like Costco wants to sell beef, they had to buy it from the local processors, who bought their cows from the sale barns throughout the US. Now they are all "vertically integrated" meaning they don't buy and sell cows on the market anymore. There are still a ton of nice restaurants that do and we export a bunch as well so for cattle at least the market is alive and well. Ban vertical integration and it will bring back the family farm.
Would banning the USDA red tape achieve the same? Honest question. Without USDA regulations would small farmers be able to sell directly to grocers/consumers?
The answer I want to give: The issue lies with vertical integration, which was one of the things that our national agricultural policy specifically forbade.
Let me put it this way.
The enemy is when we have a handful of people getting control over entire segments of our market.
We DON'T want all of our farmland owned and operated by a handful of people. We need rules in place to prevent this from happening. Specifically, we MUST ensure that we have millions of people owning 100s of acres each. And we must ensure that they can't just lease their land out to one or two people who run all the land nationally.
We DON'T want any particular food product being run by a handful of people. We must ensure that all of our farm products are being raised by millions of people. They can't contract out their operation and let a small group of people tell them what to grow and how to grow it.
We DON'T want any particular step in the food economy to be owned by a handful of people. That means, millions of people own processing plants and factories and distributors and stores.
That was what our agricultural policy was leading up to the mid 1900s.
Now, the rise of companies like Costco and Wal-Mart are certainly accelerated by regulations. However, that's not the entire story. Why is it that Wal-Mart can move into a neighborhood and start selling the same products at lower prices? Why can't mom-and-pop grocery stores compete with them? That's the key you have to understand.
Wal-Mart, Amazon, Costco all derive TREMENDOUS value from their DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. Those systems are NOT available to mom-and-pop people. They CANNOT take advantage of the economies of scale. If we don't force them to open up their supply chain and allow mom-and-pops to buy and sell using it, then we are giving all of our power and wealth to a small group of people.
It used to be that most of our trucking was done by independent owner-operators competing against each other on an open market. Now, more and more truckers have to join Wal-Mart or Amazon to find good work that pays decent, and the dreams of owning your own company and your own truck have practically vanished.
Definitely gives me something to think about.
You can make a good lifestyle farming.
Really for most people the problem is people don't like real dirty muddy work.
Fencing is not really even an issue or big cost if your good with electric fencing.
Fortitude. That is what you need first. That and Access to some land.
