I recently came across a very interesting free-to-watch documentary movie on the internet. It is titled, "This is Our Slaughterhouse," and is about a family in Ohio that has a small, community-based poultry processing business. If you have an interest in poultry processing in general, you will like this movie. Here is how it is described:

This short documentary follows the ten workers of Broerman Poultry Processing, revealing their surprisingly close relationships, despite the gruesome nature of their job. The colorful interviews and raw supporting footage give new perspectives on family values, hard work, and what happens inside a slaughterhouse.

The filmmaker Matthew Broerman writes "I never thought of making a documentary. It took a friend to convince me that not everyone grew up working in a slaughterhouse. I realized the slaughterhouse I had worked in all those years was bizarrely entertaining enough that it might make an interesting documentary. So in the fall of 2002 I began creating This is Our Slaughterhouse."

That's a nice video. I especially liked the way they hung the turkeys...since I almost broke a finger on a turkey the last time I processed, that hook/ankle grabber thing looks awesome! I sure wouldn't mind one of those!!
 
I was thinking the same thing as I watched the movie. I plan to make a hanger like that.
 
Loved the documentary. Shows the human side of a natural part of the food chain. I have the experience to actually watch a smaller processor in my area do my birds, as well as animals up to small cows. An eye opening sight, but mesmerizing. Thanks for the link. Good luck with your book sales.
 
Thanks Herrick! I'll watch that tonight. Oh yeah, I took advantage of your plucker book scratch and dent offer.
