Nice job improving your land! Leaving things better off than when you arrived is a big deal in life.
Quality of life for livestock is a concern. Inhumane living conditions on farms really get to me. When a pig, an animal as intelligent as a three or four year old child, is caged into an area so small that it can't even turn around, and is then kept there for years until slaughter, something isn't right.
It sounds like you take great care of your animals. That's refreshing, good on you.
Meat production as an
industry tends to stand out as having some issues when you compare it against the alternatives. Generally speaking, raising cattle uses huge amounts of freshwater (some
estimates claim 2,500 gallons per pound, others say only 500 gallons,) lots of antibiotics (look where that has taken us with
MRSA,) the prion issues I mentioned before, the health issues (heart disease is America's number one killer and is directly caused by a meat based diet,) etc.
It's not that I want to critique how you live. Just the opposite, it sounds like you lead a very happy and fulfilled life. But ethically speaking, I have to assert that even though you treat your animals well it doesn't mean that the product you are offering into the marketplace is healthy for people.
