In this episode of Survival and Badass, hosts Chuck and Kevin pull back the curtain on the hidden challenges and costs of raising your own animals for meat. While the idea of self-sufficiency and fresh, homegrown meat sounds appealing, the reality often involves much more time, effort, and money than most people realize. Raising turkeys, for example, can cost $40 a week just on feed for four birds. And that's not even counting the time investment—six hours of exhausting butchering, all for meat that might not even be superior in taste or quality to store-bought options. When you consider that you can grab a delicious $5 rotisserie chicken from Sam's Club without any of the mess or hassle, the appeal of DIY meat starts to wane. However, it’s not just about the money. Raising your own meat requires a commitment to a grueling process. ?
