I hope to be moving into the country in the next few years on a mini-farm. In doing so I have been thinking of growing my own meat. I know chickens get to live until they are older and can't produce eggs anymore, but what about cows and other animals? Is there an age that is best or too old to use for meat? I like the idea of an animal getting to live a nice full happy life instead of in the factories where they are kept in a small, depressing environment. Plus free range is healthier and better for our planet.
At what age are animals slaughtered for meat?
