And DH and I lived to tell about it
The hosting sister , DH and their 2 kids live in Portland OR and their life is pretty much just as depicted in the TV show Portlandia Our family grew up and as was her DH's family grew-up and raised just outside of Seattle.
DH and and I have a horse farm with 10 acres. The conversation came up about the possiblity of " Cow Pooling" Going halves a calf and splitting the costs of up keep and then when old enough we would each half a side of beef in our freezers. . There was actually a discussion about purchasing a calf where they knew where the cow and the bull and generations back came from and where we would be the buying the hay. Wanted to know since we also spread out barn cleanings on the field, what kind of vitmans/ supplements/ drugs and type of bedding I was feeding/using on my horses Right now we only have two horses at this time so it is not like we have this huge herd . My horses are very well cared for I have shown and raised horses that are at the Wolrd and National level of the breed so I am not some newbie to large animals
This reminded me of the scene in the show Portlandia about the Organic Chicken in the Restaurant . DH was absolutey floored speechles
Just had to share
