WARNING!
Some of these pictures are not for the squeamish!
This is the morning of our first
butchering day in 2001. They have been in this
moveable pastured pen for four weeks (after four earlier weeks in the
brooder house). They certainly look plump for 8 weeks old!

This is our processing area that
we used in 2001. Most of the equipment that we made,
purchased or borrowed is visible in this picture. In 2002,
we used a larger scalder and a larger propane tank.

This is the
mechanical picker in action. This machine was made by a
neighbor, who graciously offered to lend it to us. |
