[to be fair, pre vegetarianism I used to eat it a lot as the local farm had a butchering license and was remarkable value for money when a half carcass came with 6 legs, 4 shoulders and as many livers as you could take for pate]
I wish I could get them at that price. Since I love bbq the mentioned of this meat instantly makes me want to fire up my bbq.
Anyway, good venison is cheaper than good beef in this part of the world and is readily available from local butchers, when in season.
You’re only paying for the handling and processing, not for rearing the animal and there’s too much of it running about anyway.
I would eat venison over beef any day if the price is right.
I don't drink milk that often, probably once in every 3 months. The milk must be proper milk as in with plenty of cream and fat like Jersey cow milk or the like. Anything less I don't drink. Must be full fat.
If anyone wants to be healthy, eat less or in moderation and balance.
I was thinking it'd have to be a bloody big explosion to wipe out 18k cattle, the blast radius you'd need for the space that many cattle take up.

After the explosion, the fire spread swiftly throughout the holding pens, where thousands of cattle were crowded together.[5] As a result, the vast majority of cattle at the facility perished.[7]
According to Castro County Sherriff Sal Rivera, the explosion was caused by a machine known as the "honey badger," which he described as "vacuum that sucks the manure and water out". Authorities believe it may have overheated, igniting internal gasses such as methane.[9]

Free if it runs out in front of your car*
*Of course, there’s the insurance claim and a new car, but the meat’s free. Around these parts, it’s a known hazard, and not just on the narrow country lanes; I missed one by about a car’s length a week or so ago, came straight through a gap in a hedge.
I have been visiting an organic farm recently for work and it is a fab place. They produce organic meat and veg and are self sufficient apart from buying seeds and the compost to start them. If only all farms were like it.
