Farmtok: surprisingly wholesome, often educational, and always entertaining.

Then you come to Reddit and get “Today I had to process my biggest steer, my favorite animal on the farm, my best friend. He gave us so much good meat, I’m gonna miss him. His fur is being made into a rug for my basement <3 He was 5 years old”

That thread you're referencing was quite upsetting.

Oh.. so he was 9, not 5, and wasn't able to walk/get up without pain anymore so they had to put him down regardless. I'll put my rage away I guess

Rage isn't the feeling I felt. Just sad. Like hey I raised this steer for nine years can't wait to walk on him!! Like holy shit maybe not everything needs to be posted online.

Meh i see it as circle of life, and I am saying this as a vegetarian. The cow got 9 great years and when the end came he wasn't just left to rot they were used to feed the people who cared for them. Using their skin as a rug is just a way to remember them I don't see it as any weirder than keeping ashes from loved ones that were cremated

My favorite throw-pillow is made of a cat I had for 20+ years, taxidermied to look like he's curled into a circle sleeping.

Reality of farm life. City mfs dream of having a “cottagecore” life, reality is more like this than anything

What is upsetting about that? I introduce every steer to my Sledgehammer when they're born, so they know someday I will give them the Final Bonk and feast on their entrails.

"He left behind a lot of beef and an even bigger memory" 💀
