When DH finally got on board years ago, I made a comment: You know, meat might be a “condiment” in a Post Stuff Hits Fan scenario. He looked at me with horror. We’re carnivores. So there are many ways and means but half or more can fail. Not all your eggs in one basket, indeed!
Couple more ideas for carnivores. Rabbits and quail. Both are [mostly] quiet and can be kept indoors with fastidious cage cleaning [which is good compost material]. Easier to hide than a Hereford or even a goat. Goats, chickens/ducks are NOISY.
OldMtWoman ….a little of this way and a little of that way…and keeping all of it quiet!
