This summer our family had the privilege of raising some broilers for some dear friends. When the time came to butcher their birds, we enjoyed the 'excuse' to get together!!!! We enjoyed spending last Saturday with the Wissmann Family butchering and visiting. Despite the cold, rainy weather, we got 76 birds done in about 4 1/2 hours; thanks to Scott's fantastic plucker and many helping hands.
After the butchering was over, our families enjoyed lunch and spending the afternoon together.
Thank-you for coming, Wissmanns!!! Enjoy your chickens!! :)

Hey Liz, I have been having some trouble getting from your home page to the comments page. Is it just me or are there problems?
I once watched a friend butcher a turkey,but I've never had personal experience with butchering. I'm sure it was extra fun to do it with friends!:) AJ
