  2. My husband, my son, and my two grandsons, ages 6 and 4, hauled steers to the butcher today. While the grandsons said that it was a sad day for the cows, they totally understood where their hamburgers come from!

  9. straight up responsibility i apsolutely agree my youngest boy nate i always take him with me to the chicken coop and always tell him this is where the eggs u eat come from the chicken also from here so he understands its not grocery stores its farms and farmers . great video Zack hilarious though :)👍

  11. We started homesteading last year with quail. When we first butchered them our children watched (2 and 6 at the time). As we were peeling back the skin and feathers on the quail to reveal the body of the quail, my son exclaimed with excitement as he watched “oh there’s chicken in there!!” 😆😆 too funny and adorable plus they learned very quickly the quails they had been helping their dad feed werefor us to eat!

  12. As one who grew up in the country, and all that it entails, I respectfully disagree. My parents recognized early on that my nature was different than others. I am a nurturer and healer, not suited to butchering etc. I still had as many chores, they were just different ones. It worked out beautifully. Remember, not everyone is cut out for everything. People have their niche. After all, you probably didn’t make the clothes you wear or the tools you use. Just something for consideration.

  14. Thanks Zach! It’s great to have a voice of sanity is this mixed up world. Our daughter was helping skin deer when she was 3 and years later when the teacher asked her class what they’re favorite foods were and she told the teacher that she liked to eat “bears and deer” the teacher told her to sit down and that people don’t eat that. Later the teacher asked to talk to my wife after school about our daughter’s vivid imagination. My wife set the teacher straight.

  15. Good critique and I am subscribed to Steve Lehto. It shows just how deeply disconnected the urban culture has become from real world pursuits The video you refer to is instructive as to legal remedies. But, as you point out, they are irrelevant, not legally, but with respect to the social drama. My mother grew up on a dairy farm that had no electricity until she was sixteen. Horses were used to work the fields. A one room school house served for first through eighth grade, they raised and ate their own poultry. The government came around and ordered all farmers to bring all of their cattle to town to be put down for hoof and mouth disease. She told me she and her sisters cried all the way to town. (Each cow had it's own name). All of this was twenty miles outside of Albany, NY, after the Empire State building went up. The depth of urban/suburban ignorance is mind numbing. As a society we are not all that far away from "home on the range", but for a large portion of the population, they might as well be from Mars. "Technically, taking that goat back across state lines was cattle rustling. Cattle rustling used to be a hanging offense.

  22. The warrant to obtain the goat was violated. The law was supposed to return the goat to court for judgement. Instead they delivered it for slaughter. If you think 9 year olds need to be taught a lesson ahead of law enforcement officers violating a warrant, you are not a serious person.

  23. I agree with what you're saying, but you're focusing on one standard for the individual and not the other for the government. Regardless of how we might disagree with the family that backed out of the deal, the fact that the government saw fit to enforce a contract or agreement that appears have been legally dissolved, which included sending deputies on a 500 mile road trip, and then followed by ignoring proper procedures for safeguarding of contested property should trouble all of us. A $900 dollar goat has now seen our government waste how many thousands of additional dollars over something that didn't need to be followed up on.

  26. While the legal argument from Steve centers around the contract for the goat, which would actually determine who would get to decide the goat's fate, the argument presented here is that any sufficiently powerful and properly aligned organization can use force outside the law to achieve that organization obviously just goals. This line of logic should be troubling. There were all sorts of options for teaching the lesson like barring participation that could have avoided teaching the mother and the girl that might makes right.

  30. I agree. My son (11) knows exactly what it takes to grow food and raise and process meat. It’s ok if kids cry or get upset over it initially. I’d be concerned if they didn’t. That’s where as a parent you talk them through processing that emotion and accepting the truth in the matter. We should have reverence and solemnity when taking an animal’s life for our nourishment. The true failure here is on the parents’ irrational response to the child’s emotional response and the obvious lack of care in preparing the child for the inevitable outcome. The parents weren’t any more prepared than the child to deal with the reality of animals becoming food. They probably should have had her try to grow a giant pumpkin or watermelon instead.🍉
