My dad had a similar dilemma I think, though he'd never admit it. He even named and spoke with every single one.
He enjoyed raising animals, but in the end just sold them off at auction rather than slaughter them himself. We'd still eat meat, but presumably not what was raised. He claimed there was more money in it, but I strongly assume he just couldn't bring himself to kill the creatures he'd raised.

I raise meat. At small scales, I cannot afford to eat any of it if I want to make any profit. Agriculture is completely rotten due to regulatory capture by Big Ag.
