Processed yesterday ... They are still in the ice chest with ice

No worries of the ice melting too soon. I dont have a lot of room in the fridge. I am confused .... Are the supposed to set wet or dry? Is the cooler ok? What should i be doing and when do. Get to eat?

I processed on a Saturday, left them in the ice water till Monday when I had a chance to package. Once I packaged them I let them rest in the fridge for 2 days before I froze them. I roasted one on the Wednesday after processing. It was YUMMY!!

You can start packaging them now. Wet or dry is fine. We shrink bag them the same day we slaughter, then rest them from there.
