Another crop in the freezer

 

This summer we raised another crop of meat birds. Colton built this new chicken tractor for them which made things SO much easier. about half way through we were moving it everyday, but still worth it. The grass is way more greener on the back half now :) we only raised 20 this year, but next year I think we will build one more of these and do 15 in each one.

 



 

 We butchered 18 of them (2 died) and our biggest dressed bird was 7.5 lbs! Its so nice having fresh chicken in the freezer, ready to eat. 7 weeks for a years worth is totally worth it.

 



 

Our freezer is plum full this year. We did raise a pig, since we still had about half of it left (so probably next year). Colton got an elk on his big hunting trip this year though and I even provided some meat with my "big" buck!

 

Another great year for the freezer!!
