We also used to help friends with the turkeys at Xmas. Kids were detailed according to their strengths.

Caroline always gutted the pigeons and ducks. Melissa who had the smallest fingers was detailed to errrrr clear the bum with Vaseline on the lambs and goats after they were born. Son used to muck out the pigs as he was the strongest.

Hi Sue - I agree with you about sheep - someone once said 'if there's a way of dying - a sheep will find it'.

I have raised cows and eaten them, I have no problem with that as I know they had a good life, I'd much rather know where the animals came from and how they were treated.

disgusted caz!!!!!!!!!! id have kicked him out hahaha


"nips out back to check dog hasnt kiled me bunnies haha"

Caz,

You wouldn't be soppy when turning the calves out in the Spring. You have to work so hard to get them through the cow shed door it's exhausting. Then after they find out that the concrete yard is slippery and that they HAVE to move their legs to get to the fields and it's up to you to get them to move (I won't go into details) you aren't sloppy about them at all.

As for sheep, they are the thickest beings on this earth!!!!!

Thanks Sparrow,


My hubbie came home from army weekend and said he had to the one who slaughtered the rabbit, i was distraught, its just me!!!


Caz xxx

sparrow i dont like reality i lyk cyber worlds hahahaha

oh noooooooooo sue
too much info

thats so cruel
im not saying you should dont get me wrong
but my kids would of made me feel so guilty

Cumbria caz your not soppy, its not for every one. I cannot get involved at all in the slaughtering process. only the cooking end of things. The kids naturally wanted to see, and if later they make a choice to be a veggie then they can base it on true research.

OMG I must be Soooooo soppy!!!


Caz xxxx

Stray,

Oh yes you can...lol

Kids used to help with birthing, feeding and butchering and of course mucking out! They also went with OH to the slaughterman.

They needed to know what raising food was all about and although they would sometimes be sad when a particular animal went to slaughter they appreciated the life the animal been given through their efforts. Then they stuck their fork in..

We have cows on our property that we raise for eating. We also have ducks and chooks which we have eaten. The kids have been involved in every aspect of the process and have not had a problem. The meat of the cows was good, but the chooks and ducks were dry, shop bought were better.

As for Gordon Ramsey, you dont have to watch him you can always switch off. What you see is how some restaurant kitchens run, its called reality.

sue u norty girl "tut" "tut" ya cant eat things with a name no no no no no pmsl

remember when he gave his kids two pigs

trinny and Suzanna'

Oh Oh,

We raised and ate our own lambs, goats, ducks, chickens, rabbits, pigs, geese etc.,

Yes, some were even given names by the kids but they knew where they would end up...on their plates!

Sue
