Poultry: 150 meat birds averaging 3 pounds at 1160 calories per bird = 174,000 calories

One whole pasture raised cow: There are about 1 million calories

Eggs: .5 dozen eggs a day for roughly 9 months= 112,752 (This is not including the duck, quail, and goose eggs we harvested)

Rabbits: We harvested roughly 90 meat rabbits at 4 lbs each last year which would equal around 90,000 calories

4 pigs: Roughly 200 lbs each= 768,000 calories

2 lambs with roughly 50 lbs of carcass= 100,000 calories

That's a whole lot of food my friends!
