Include costs for processing (milk, meat)

Solution

If raising animals for milk or meat, factor in the costs of necessary equipment and supplies for handling, processing, and storage.

Explanation

• Milk: Milking pails, filters, jars/storage, cleaning supplies, potentially cheesemaking supplies.
• Meat: May involve costs for professional processing (butchering fees) or equipment for home processing (knives, grinder, freezer wrap, freezer space).

Notes

Home processing requires specific skills and knowledge of food safety.
