I wonder if the free hay "for a year" was assuming proper grazing and husbandry.

Alpacas are pretty gentle eaters so a well cared-for pasture means that hay should be able to be kept to a minimum, but I don't think anyone here would expect tranch members to learn about soil science.

A commune without any sense of community? A sound business plan is also helpful when starting a business.

The trans community is all online for a reason. I'm willing to bet when stuck in a survival situtations the rockest of ribbed conservatives could learn to work with the soyest of faced lefties. When it comes to troons, though, the potshots and backbiting put teen girls to shame, and even in a survival situation they'd be more likely to kill each other.

Holy shit, so with 5.7's not being only overkill, it's over twice as much per round to fire than a 9mm? These guys are the epitome of "if it goes through more things, then it means that it is better". If they were smart, .45 would do them just fine for handguns

My guess is it will eventually break up without much violence, like most of the hippie commune experiments of the 1960s. Perhaps they will all get sick from bad sanitation. That was a common scenario.

But if a violent end, my guess is self inflicted with the cops involved only in cleaning up after.

5.7 is stupid expensive when really all you need is more 9mm +P, if that. I'm not expecting a huge amount of level IV plates around here.

5.7 can't even penetrate plates, unless someone has loaded some boutique projectile at full retard pressures I'm unaware of.
However, right now 9mm prices are artificially high due to scalpers so for the past year it hasn't really mattered much. Still a nonsensical choice.

Living out in the country .45 and .40 are good choices because you got the bullet mass in case of animal attack, which is vastly more likely than being raided by the magawaffen. Using 5.7 is complete hypebeast logic, especially with those blue tip rounds.

But when you go to work to a farm or a ranch, you should be aware it's gonna be a tough job, that you need to be careful in a lot of details and variables. This ain't Little House on the Prairie or Heartland.

Oh, trust me, I am. You are. Most of this website I believe would know how hard ranch work is. Up at 4 am to basically spend all day breaking your back lifting heavy objects, moving around stupid animals that could potentially kill you, and some of the most boring work you can imagine. And no, you don't get days off for holidays and weekends unless everything is perfect and you have a good plan in place. Even then, an animal could get sick out of nowhere or get attacked by a wild animal.

But people like our favorite troon squad...well, they think ranching is like Harvest fucking Moon.

I doubt they could wield it correctly, but I'm assuming them using .357 and .44 magnums dirty Harry style is overkill?

My favorite picture related to this is Bonnie yelling how their alpacas are well cared for and showing a picture of some of the alpacas laying in the feed. "Look how well fed these guys are. They're rolling in PREMIUM feed, literally SWIMMING in it." Someone on the farms proceeded to point out that they're wasting food and contaminating it.

Yeah, when feeding round bales most people use round bale feeders to keep the animals from wasting half of it. Obviously if you just drop them on the ground the bottom hay gets damp and moldy and the stock just spread it around to sleep and shit on. You'll easily go through twice as many bales if you don't use feeders. I bet they'd have them if they had to pay for the hay themselves.

It doesn't look like they have much pasture going on, more of a dry lot. Admittedly I have horses, not alpacas, but with 200 even if they had all 36 measly acres fenced I doubt it would support them.

.357 mag is the same diameter bullet (or close enough) to a 9mm, the main difference is powder load and projectile weight and dimensions IIRC. .357 mag is really almost overkill for most conceivable things they could run into, outside of maybe a bear and even then I'd still say a .357 should be enough gun with half decent shot placement.

If you're really concerned with stopping power in a handgun for self defense, a 10mm Auto is fine, hell it's more than fine. IIRC those suckers are used for bears all the time.

This could have been a really great Ren & Stimpy episode.

yea but wristy hurty

Then go for 9mm or .380. The performance difference between .45 ACP and 9mm is IMO Pretty much negligible, and I'd rather have more rounds than less rounds, so 9mm is the way to go.

EDIT: Seriously, .45 ACP and 9mm have virtually identical wound tracks. The main difference is that .45 ACP, being a slower, fatter round, is less likely to overpenetrate, and is subsonic.

In the current ammo situation, the prices are astronomical too. Guarantee these troons are paying 2x-3x as much as they should for any ammo they buy unless they're camping out big box stores on delivery day.

When you pay for everything with other people's money, an absurd mark-up is no issue.

I loathe boomer scalpers for ammo price increases. They were horrific in the Obama years. Especially with .22LR.
