That is a long drive. I wouldn't get home until Sunday!

(At least I could see my son while out there.)

It is about 40 minutes from me also (in northern Columbia co) I will have about 9 chickens to get processed. Can you let me know your thoughts after it is done?

I am near there, but I do my own chickens. Wonder what they charge for turkeys?

they said $8 per turkey.

Thanks for the link! We're seriously considering raising a hog or two, and I was wondering if there were any local processors. I'm also toying with the idea of doing a batch or two of colored broilers of some sort, and wouldn't be averse to having them done professionally, as I'm (a) lazy and (b) have weird work schedules.

Raising a hog? My 12 yo DD and I watched the "Pig Bomb" show on Animal Planet last night and now she want to go hog hunting. The girl has never shot a real gun in her life. She seems to think I want to go too.

I do like bacon though....

I don't know. I have never hunted anything in my life except for a great sale at the mall.

I'm in no rush to get started on this little bit of high adventure.

Has anyone heard of the cock-fighting, pot-growing bust in Fonda. Those poor birds. Here is a link to the news.

It's a terrible thing to encourage those birds to fight and then to put sharp instuments on their legs to make it more deadly.

That is terrible. Looks like they kept it in the family.
