PREPPER-SERIES] : Raising livestock for self reliance

[LEO THE WISEParticipant 249]

Dear MGTOW’s, fellow men,

Here is LEO THE WISE, giving to all men their needed uprise :

I made recently a youtube video about preparedness, part of my “prepping series” where I show a gateway to men going their own way, a glimpse about a richer life by being more self reliant, independent and well rounded against threats and disasters of all kinds.

This time, it’s about raising livestock, even living within cities, there may be ways to circumvent the policies of the heavy state and regulations in general. Also if you live in the countryside more kudos to you. I gave a kind of ranking rates, some animals based on their use and purposes, size and byproducts: How hens , chickens, rabbits etc can be a real plus to eat healthy while being prepared.

PREPPER-SERIES] : Raising livestock for self reliance

What is your share on that topic, I am quite interested about how you would incorporate (or already are doing) this activity into your daily life ?

I would like your opinion about this too : Maybe it’s too much work compared to just getting stuff from the store ? …

Thanks for the next comments,
Regards,
LEO THE WISE

Part II better be how to slaughter livestock.

Hey Leo, this is quite interesting how many animals do you own at the moment?
For how long have you been doing this?
Do you butcher them yourself?
How much does it cost maintaining the animals vs. how much meat you can produce?
Do you sell the meat or keep it to yourself?
How much profit do you make out of it ?
How much time do you invest doing this?

Always good to have this kind of knowledge. Never know when it will come in handy.
Being even a little bit prepper is better then none at all.

I have enough animals to eat for more than a YEAR! Same with rice and beans! Those that don’t (and want to steal mine) will be fed to my animals in little ittty bitty pieces on the ugly end of a wood chipper! Running on synthetic gas!

I think this is a good thing to encourage. It has the benefits of allowing one to teach the next generation things that may help them if this culture goes under while running a small business that could provide a small emergency income stream if one ever lost one’s main income stream gives security.

While I live in the country the property prices are so high where I live that I simply can’t afford any land. (Had I never got divorced that could have been different…) I think there will be quite a lot of other men in my position, particularly those who live in cities. I think they may do well to do what I do and at least try to get out hunting once a week. Hunting does not give you as reliable a source of protein as owning the animals yourself but it does get you engaging with nature, it is a skill that will feed you and yours in a bad situation and skill with a rifle is never a bad thing for a man to have.

A woman is like fire -fun to play with, can warm you through and cook your food, needs constant feeding, can burn you and consume all you own

Just know raising food is not easy. Chickens naturally stop laying eggs in the winter. You could go from one egg every other day per chicken to less than one egg a week. Everything likes chicken. In my are we have coyotes, mountain lions, the neighbors or you own dog, and for the younger chicks hawks and snakes. Chickens don’t start laying eggs until they are 6-8 months sold.

You are better off stocking up on rice and beans. Use the livestock as a supplement. Plus domestic livestock does not care for itself, time and money is involved. I have bees, my first jars of honey, the second year, there was no honey to take the first year, and one hive of two died. I figure it cost me $36 for a 8oz. In a few years I may get to what I could buy it for in the store.

If you think you will go out and grow your own food with no experience, you and your family will starve.

Oh yea, if you think you are going to hunt when the s~~~ hits the fan, you’re right. Only problem is so does every one else, and there are no freezers. Where I live all the game will be gone the first month.

Long pig anyone?

There are ways around this though.

A 20 paso solar light keeps my chickens and quail laying year round. I have free range rabbits that breed 12 more every other month per pair. I do no feeding, no cleaning, and no water. They take care of themselves and stick around for random treats. You can also use permaculture to give your animals free food. I haven’t fed my chickens in over a year. Right now I have a meal worm farm going too for free food. I just throw my food scraps in the bin and they keep breeding. It’s actually pretty easy to raise your own food. Gardening though is a bit harder… and canning is key too…

But chickens, rabbits, quail, goats, pigs ect. are all very easy. If you have quality pens or a good dog predators aren’t a problem either. If they are, that’s a free coyote pelt. 😉 You can always get a llama, ostrich, or other large animal to keep them away too. They also make solar powered electric wire for poultry. Does a great job and very reliable.

Here is an example of free range rabbits. I started with 3. Ended up with over 100 in less than a year. All free food. No refrigerator required.

I live in a city currently in a rented appartment, but been raised in the countryside in my early years up to 20’s : No predators in the area (no snakes, no foxes…) Got some chickens (free range), sheeps, pigs , rabbits. I plan to go back on that lifestyle in a few years from now. We did not make profit, as we were raising the animal for self consumption mostly. We trade some of the meat and eggs for other items with neighbors (cheese, milk, some grains for the chickens…)

For the invested time you it depends :
For chickens you can have automated feeding and same with water. You can even have a lighted coop with lamps. So cleaning the coop once in a while. (you still need to get the eggs daily)

For Sheeps, beside the daily intake (at least once every 2 or 3 days) if they are well sheltered with access to grass you are nearly set. No maintenance except if you go for the whool (few months of patience required)

For Pigs, they are demanding and need to be fed daily with huge amounts of potato scraps, vegetable scraps, food waste, bread …

We butchered our own livestocks but for the big ones, like the pigs, we got the support of a skilled family friend. Giving some pounds of meat for the good service.
