Not sure where this belongs....culled a Roo today

[Tigertrea]

My very first cull! Kill, pluck, butcher and now in a brine to be BBQd tomorrow!

I wasn't sure I'd be able to kill him but, I did. We made a killing cone out of a bucket. I found slitting his throat harder than I though it would be and wound up cutting his windpipe too but, I got the job done.

First butchering of a chicken too. My DH hunts geese and he usually just breasts them so this was an adventure. Not a pretty or professional job but, again, job done!

YAY for me!

The first one's the rough one. Getting the job done at all counts as a win.

there is a satisfaction in doing a difficult thing. You will get better.

I felt good once I culled my sick hen.She was my first.Chop with a hatchet.Went better than I expected.The anticipation/fear was worse than the deed.
