That is fantastic!! Chad is a big help isn't he..I would never had gotten my CPT if he hadn't put everything together...So is everyone going NPIP now??!! hahahaha...I am not to that stag of the game yet...I have time though! hahaha, so glad to hear you are doing well!! Great to have you back here Sally!!Thank you Danielle, it was a pain in the bleep and very stressful, however Burce said he didnt have any issues,, breezed through it. I guess its all in who you work with. Dh and I need to get the Health inspector out for our field test part of our CPT yet and we are pretty much set then.
Chad has been a blessing with the lab end of the NPIP stuff. Nan at the state is extremely busy but we worked through all the strange stuff we needed to, paperwork and more paperwork, I didnt just do the independent breeder I did Hatchery as well. We are PT & AI clean, what stinks is now I will have to find equal or better testing if I want to add to my flock. I am an addicted hatcher so it certainly will put a damper on my funplus it was nice to swap and hatch some really cool stuff, my fav was hatching my friend sara's ancona ducks, I love them!
But Chad is going to get NPIP and I can do his hatching of his cool future fowl, peacocks and pheasants!
So if anyone is thinking about npip I can help and I know quite a few tips at this point!
I am gonna be a page hog again! But some of you asked for it!!!
Sally...do provisions change year to year?... this something you have to constantly keep up with, yes? as far as a lot of reading...
***Sally..you can NEVER be too sure!! better safe than fined or worse.. Having been in the "hair" biss, the best and easiest is to KNOW. There are so many regs. on that also, and having inspections regularly
Wing..if i have read things correctly... you looking towards the meat end of things?..that is why the stainless steel? You have to have that for "commercial"?
Quote: IT is very similar,,just slow go because the equipment is pricey........like I said earlier, I run into problems when the differences overlap,,,seems each animal has different guidelines at times....then finding info on rabbits is mind boggling an differs each time you talk to someone..
it will be years before I am ready to go after that commercial license..
An this is going to sound just terrible, but I like processing....there is a great feeling when everything on the dinner table from the meat to the wheat in the bread came from your own property instead of the store..might take a bashing for that one but I have perfected my routine an can clean many birds in short time...
