I don't eat meat all that often, so if I ever get a place big enough (and non-rented enough) to have chickens, it'll be an amount that I'm comfortable processing myself. I really don't know what I'd do with the amount of meat on a cow, unless I was sharing it with the whole Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388228993184648602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-31280695091836493882009-08-21T14:31:11.123-07:002009-08-21T14:31:11.123-07:00Omg, this is hilarious/AMAZING!

The inspectors have to keep track of just one unit, instead of 6 or 7; and many more farmers can be served.<br /><br />I have a friend here who raised free range heritage turkeys one year, and was very successful- but then the USDA poultry facility closed (poor management, I think). Now he just flat can't afford to haul turkeys 150 miles to the Greenpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224906349154302210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-64870944727019971772009-08-20T21:07:13.160-07:002009-08-20T21:07:13.160-07:00Nope, never ever.

However, lack of space forbids it in any case. All the same, the mobile slaughterhouse sounds fabulous.

I grew up on a small farm and we butchered pultry to sell at Farmer's Market, but larger animals we either did ourselves or, more often, took to a local butcher to process. I now live in a neighboring county, and we still have local butchers and meat processors that butcher locally raised animals.

I have a local butcher to whom I take my backyard-raised broiler chickens. For $4, he'll turn my live birds into meat. For an extra fifty cents, he'll even cut them up for me. He also handles larger animals, and a local dairy farmer has his cows butchered there, and a friend of ours had his pig butchered there.<br /><Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642417312794814066noreply@blogger.com
