First batch of 2012 done

[Peruvian]

Just about 30 birds in the freezer. Don't they look fresh and tasty!

WOW! Those look nice and plump! I am guessing cornish X? What kind of packaging is that?

 

[Peruvian]

Yep, CX at 8 weeks. About 3.8:1 feed conversion ratio. Not great but we still ended up with almost 140lbs processed into the freezer and the farm/mill where I get my feed is 1/2 the price of the feed store. I think we averaged just under $1.25/lb in hard costs (not including labor).

The bags are from Cornerstone Farm Ventures - http://www.cornerstone-farm.com/equipment/poultry-packaging/shrink-bag

Yum! I see a nice barbeque sauce, a fabulous cream alfredo and noodles, some dumplings and roasted veggies.......

Can you tell it's dinnertime, and ours is nearly finished?!
