Butchering....

WHEW!!!!
What a month....With summer at hand, it seems to get busier and busier....
We butchered 60 of those broilers we raised. All were from 3.5 lbs. to 5.5 lbs. YUM!!!
Scalded, picked(defeathering), and gutted and washed, chilled and froze....they are good....
Still have 17 left, am going to part these out(cut up into parts....Dont know if we will raise these again, they are hard to raise.
we have looked into a free range chicken from ?, cant remember where..might do those next year.
Signing off for now...
