We have not cleaned killed any yet. But very interested in learning, have watched videos. Have the basic knowledge, just no hands on. Willing to met up in area on weekend.
I have a scalder large enough for turkeys, knives and my hands.
I am willing to have a person come learn at my next slaughter, where I have a complete set-up (minus an automatic plucker). I don't have a huge amount of experience, but I will share what I have learned so far.
