This was such a great perspective on what it means to slaughter and consume an animal you've raised and cared for. I'm still wondering how I'll feel when that time finally comes around but your perspective is great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764223022607739789.post-18523190563358494962011-10-13T17:02:41.789-05:002011-10-13T17:02:41.789-05:00Couldn't figure out how to contact you - just ...Couldn't figure out how to contact you - just hoping things are busy on your homestead and all is well.

They had 25 to slaughter and another 25 getting big enough. My job was to run around and kick them after they had been beheaded so they would continued to run around. My father did the same thing when he was little. To me, this doesn't seem crazy at all. However, you tell any of my high school students that kids (especially me) did this they are just horrified. <br /><br />To them, the fecal matter, syran wrapped store chicken full of crud is a much better option. I'm glad you are raising your kids to realize that real food comes with knowledge not antibiotics.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04249655831923837855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764223022607739789.post-3965834977075864242011-07-23T01:23:09.781-05:002011-07-23T01:23:09.781-05:00We went to a farmers ranch to learn to harvest chi...We went to a farmers ranch to learn to harvest chickens. I wanted to know if we moved out to "our retirement" land and raised chickens if I could harvest them. The guy who held the class was awesome, we humanly killed them and cleaned them, they were at the stewing age so our dog had dinner and I had amazing stock. I found it interesting as we found many hens with eggs that had not dropped and since the class had a few chefs they were quickly taken. I felt that we were connected to our food in a fundamental way that most people miss out on. I really enjoy that other people are writing about their experiences.Kathleennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764223022607739789.post-46280964404873401022011-07-23T00:38:37.553-05:002011-07-23T00:38:37.553-05:00Such a great post.
