Ostrich is actually pretty good meat, at a music festival once our booth was next to a pair of dudes selling ostrich burgers. We did wind up taking home a lot of meat they couldn't sell, but it was tasty nonetheless. I don't remember how it compares to beef, though.

I'm rereading the PYF unnerving articles thread and there's a post by a goon who was arrested in Arizona and shared his experience in the infamous Tent City and mentioned the meals made from cheap ostrich meat.

my house was a few properties across from an ostrich farm. i didn't realise it was there until i was driving through the back roads one day, looked to my left, saw a bunch of ostriches chilling out beneath the gum trees and almost crashed my car

I grew up on an ostrich farm. My parents started raising them very early on in the ostrich bubble that happened in the US in the late 80s and 90s because our neighbor was an exotic animal guy and was part of the original group that started the "industry" back then. The hope was that they would take off as another type of meat and had the potential to become similar to cattle farming. It was mainly a bunch of rich guys at the beginning who traded them for stupid amounts of money at the beginning. My parents were getting 40k-75k for a good breeding pair and chicks would sell for $2,500 and it was easy to raise a ton. The insane prices were because of their rarity in the states at the time. What actually happened was that every livestock person saw how much money could be made and started buying in. This created and sustained a bubble for 6-8 years before the market saturated and everybody looked around and realized they had a bunch of giant birds that nobody wanted the meat of and nobody else wanted to buy in at those prices and they became worthless over night and sold for less than the cost of feeding them. My mom had begged for my dad to get out of the business that year and he wanted one more year and promised he would sell out then. He lost a fuckload of money, but since we had been poor before he got in and had several years of making six figures he came out ahead overall and then proceeded to lose it in another venture that actually would have worked but ran into extremely bad luck. And that's how my family went from poor to rich and ended up solidly middle class because of giant birds and the weird decade of optimism that was the late 80s/early 90s

My old man bought in just before everyone stopped caring. I think he still had them when I graduated HS and hosed off(1998), but I don't know what he ultimately did with them. He was always looking into those libertarian self-made millionaire schemes, but I think that's the only one he ever went in on, and that was definitely his "once bitten". I think he raises goats now just to do something with the massive pens he built. and ostrich meat sucks

I heard emu farming was a big thing around then as well, there was a King of the Hill episode about a guy trying to get rid of his emus. Also, the way Americans, or at least Texans, pronounce 'Emu' is goddamn hilarious. Apparently they were marketed as something like 'bigger, better chicken'. I think there might have been attempts at kangaroo farming too.
