The Tenacious Unicorn Ranch / @TenaciousRanch / Steampunk Penny / Penellope Logue / Phillip Matthew Logue - Don't cry because it ended, laugh because it's still getting worse.

That's not very fair, there's clearly a market for weed in the area.

A severely oversaturated market. Remember weed is legal in CO, and every faggot pot smoker's life long dream is to raise weed. The plant simply isn't that profitable for the farmers, similar to any other crop or livestock.

 

[AnOminous]

I highly doubt the pothead who bought it cares about any of that and just wants a place to set up his shitty plastic grow tent and go bankrupt when he can't make profit on his weed farm.

You need water to grow weed. There's NONE there. There's not even any natural source nearby, so there would be a constant convoy of water trucks. It's the worst possible place.

The Chinese name also doesn't sound like a good candidate for stoner weed idiot.

It's not like we don't know the exact co-ordinates to use our drones/look at Google Maps.
We'll find out what happened eventually. Or someone crazy could drive there.

That and good ol' cattle ranching. The Navajo has a big-ass ranch in the county just west of the tranch

Yeah but then we return to the fact that the property is only 35ish acres of sagebrush scrub. Without supplemental feed you could maybe run 2 cows on that land.

Goats. IIRC you actually get more meat per gallon of water with goats and sheep, plus goats eat any damn thing. That one irrigateable acre should be a vegetable garden.

They been making goat soap and shampoo and conditioner, in bars rather than bottles recently. It's fucking great. No plastic waste, plus it's the best thing for my hair. You could make decent money off that very quickly.

(don't get that goat soap in your eyes tho.. Or anywhere else, so to speak. It's very strong alkaline.)

I advise anyone to have a blast of using goat shampoo soap. Especially if you find it hard to find a shampoo/conditioner that agrees with your hair.

And then you have to find someone to buy your goat meat. That area of Colorado might have enough Mexicans nearby to buy their carne de chivo but the nearest halal market (not to mention the nearest sizeable population of South Asians) is two hours away in Colorado Springs.

A goat is going to provide maybe 40lbs of meat, processing in that area runs about $150 per goat. That's already nearing $4 per pound and doesn't include distribution or the cost of raising the animals or other overhead costs. They could run 150-300 goats on that land, depending on supplemental feed and range management techniques. Goat meat runs about $12 a pound in Colorado. Say you get $250 profit from each goat, and you slaughter 150 each year. That's only $36,000.

That property was only ever meant to be a hobby ranch for city folk who want to retire to the country and ride horsies. The troons did absolutely no research and bought one of the most unsuitable (and overpriced) properties for what they supposedly planned (and failed) to do.

They couldn't even manage to build a hay feeder for the alpaca, can you imagine them milking a hundred goats twice a day? Not to mention the sanitation required for a working dairy. I wouldn't let goat milk & stinkditch soap anywhere near my body.

I'm just curious about a property tour.
"Okay, so it's three bedrooms, two baths, one mass grave, 250 Alpaca ghosts, unknown numbers of sentient carpet stains, and if you see someone staring through the windows, that's just Earl."

"It's piped for heating but you'll need to pay to have the propane tank reinstalled, there's turds in the walls from when the upstairs toilet plumbing broke and if you were hoping for a lawn bad news, no green and growing thing will abide here until the Curse of The Stinking Ditch is lifted. The bank has it at $300000 but you might want to put in an over-reserve offer, this lot very in demand."

The bank should be the one paying to get Tenacious Albatross Ranch off of their neck.

That doesn't mean you actually want to let them eat anything. They'll eat shit that makes the meat utterly nasty and inedible.

You point out the big issue with trying to sell goat meat for profit which is the high cost of processing. Really you'd do better breeding/selling kids young goats its troons so we've got to clarify and using a couple goats you process yourself* for food and trade.
I knew a retired couple who lived in colorado and owned a cabin on a river in Alaska near a cannery. Every summer during salmon season they would fish as much salmon as they could, and for two weeks going non-stop collecting salmon transporting the fish in personal possession ammounts to that cannery, getting a receipt for canned salmon, go back for more salmon, repeat. When it was done they would take often a pallet of salmon back home that they would trade the salmon for beef to rancher neighbors who were stoked to have something for dinner that wasn't beef.

*you could slaughter them yourself but that is harder (and messier) than you'd think since you need to drain them, especially with goat. A slaughter house will kill, gut, skin, decapitate, and de-hoof the goat. You just have to deal with the thin, brittle bones. The couple of goat-raising 'gridders' I know say its worth just going to the slaughter house and bringing an extra goat to cover the fees + get a little cash back - but carving up the goat yourself and cutting out the butcher is a huge savings once you've got the hang of it, especially since most of the goat you're just going to want to stew anyway.

A relative of mine used to raise goats, but only ate kids. If his does got old or sick, they ended up as dog meat. He traded goats or goats meat with his neighbours on occasion, but as a very savvy businessman, didn't see them as profitable stock. He just liked the meat, liked that they were easy to raise, and liked that he could slaughter and butcher them himself. Tasty and convenient.

Yeah, like Mutton v. Lamb in general you want to have your meat goats turned to meat before they're more than a year or two old or they're a little tough and gamey. Not inedible, but if you aren't in a "every calorie counts" survival situation there's no need to go through the unpleasantness.

There's issues with automated goat milking that I can't remember, I want to say you have strap momma goat down because she ain't going to sit still for no steel on her nips; only one gridder family bothered milking their goats and they handed-milked the females on occassion more as a proof-of-concept than anything viable, and figured if they were needing to do it regular civilization had collapsed and they wouldn't be able to rely on a milking machine anyway. Plus the females were usually either preggers or nursing because the money was in selling the kids.
And even then, it wasn't a lot of money, but a couple thousand a year was a couple thousand a year.

There's another problem of goats being escape ninjas. Considering how overgrazed that land was, you just know any goats they attempted raising would have run for the hills the first chance they got and would have caused all sorts of problems for their neighbors.

Are you related to Fatrick Tomlinson and you mean his pepperoni production?

I like goat in a really strong curry like vindaloo, or it overpowers everything else. It also takes a LONG braise to make the texture tolerable. So I'll let the pajeets handle that.

Brief Patreon Update: They finally sheared the sheep! They did as good a job as you can imagine.

Also their income has dropped below $700/month lol. At this rate they're gonna need to find a new grift by the year's end.

Spoiler: Extra videos

 

[Temperance]

Kevin doxed and allegedly released revenge porn of a Bluesky troon called TransCommieScum ("Elle Clayton"). This troon is an ex-boyfriend of Shiteater Jen, and he is also accusing Penny of sexual assault. See Kevin's thread: [1] [2] [3] [4]

Look at how gleefully Kevin doxed Elle/TCS.




Here's the accusation that Kevin posted "revenge porn" (which was likely just nude pics shared in a troon discord).

Very brief check-in on a couple other Tranchers:

Shiteater Jen is still working on his crappy RPG Maker game. He estimates that he's spent 2000+ hours over the past 18 months on it.


Fedposter J is back on Twitter. (@AssignedEva, ping in case you're interested.)
Hopefully a ween doesn't chase him off again.

Still living out of his vehicle:

Mentions the Tranch. He's nostalgic for the days when money would come rolling in thanks to a hoax totally real threats of militia violence. Much harder to grift when you're just a run-of-the-mill homeless troon.
