The one thing we have trouble getting people to understand that it isn't an operation that is instant like a supermarket, we need time for the grass to grow, the animals to have a good life.

I managed to stretch a casserole, pie and broth out of one rooster. We would like to try the meat birds and I'm glad you left them longer as I also heard they don't survive if you grow them longer.Vintage Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16844669942410942778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295872509186128724.post-24544570710597904442014-08-22T18:48:52.861+10:002014-08-22T18:48:52.861+10:00What a gorgeous and deliciously succulent post.

Can't wait to hear all about your birthday feast, I have no doubt it will be stunningly amazing, wish I could be there for it. xxxx jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15676407573579992272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295872509186128724.post-32667160775623555982014-08-22T13:03:07.392+10:002014-08-22T13:03:07.392+10:00Fantastic post and great blog guys.Fantastic post and great blog guys.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215555304353199507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295872509186128724.post-85778590970310174532014-08-20T12:36:59.818+10:002014-08-20T12:36:59.818+10:00This is what I love about Australian-style stock f...This is what I love about Australian-style stock farming, rather than the models I've seen in other parts of the world. It's one family on one piece of land, and they have an interest in keeping that land going strong. Animals are grass fed, spend most of their time outdoors and live apparently happy lives, doing what a cow, sheep, or goat is supposed to do. <br /><br />I agree, though; the way we raise chickens (and pigs!) here is a disgrace. I'd be thrilled if we could get a small-animal abbatoir working here in the Hunter, like you did down your way. I don't have much space to keep animals, but I'd definitely put my hours in at a place like that, just to keep it going. Someday, when you have less going on, I'll ask you both a lot of questions about how you got that going. One day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
