Butchering day.

Good topic. Wife always loved working with animals. Currently have a small garden,15 laying hens. Have 35 meat chickens in a chicken tractor a portable chicken coop. Fresh grass every few days and a homemade ration. Also raise grass fed beef which to me is no better or worse than grained just have lots of grass and not much grain to feed. Home raised pork coming in exchange for beef
Have butchered beef pork and chickens for years but now custom done. Also will take chickens to get done off the farm. A money value cannot be placed on raising my own food. Just a lot of satisfaction

Never gutted as a kid only plucked. Our turkeys even had milk so i know what a 40 lb tom looks like.
Although I'm too lazy myself to follow this lifestyle today, I salute freewheat.
