This Humble Homestead (@ThisHumbleHomestead)

Why do we feel the need to buy everything new? Why do we need the upgraded version of everything? Bigger is not always better. And neither is newer for that matter. Newer versions have been made cheap. They fail easily and are intentionally designed this way, so that you will continuously have to spend your money. We are a culture of consumerism. Clementine, here, is a beef breed (Black Angus). She had her baby a few months ago. The baby didn’t make it, but we were left with a cow with a lot of milk to give. While she is not the ideal breed for milking, she gives us exactly what we need. #usewhatyouhave #conservation #consumerism #goodstewards #homesteadingskills #milkingcows #beefcows
