November arrived right on time. However I think it forgot its cold. All of October we never went above 70 and into november we have had several 70 degree days. Opening day of deer season, THIS SUNDAY.. is supposed to be in the upper 50's. WOW..
We have been carfully watching the sheep, for recycles. Thus far, no one has been a recycle. This means we will have our first lambs due in jan or feb, and then again in mid March. We are anxious for this years lambing, as every year. Baby season is just a delightful, BUT busy time of year.
Today we will be bringing home our fresh pork. It has been 2 weeks and its finally complete. I cannot wait to try it!
We also put the 7 turkeys and a goose in the freezer. the turkeys dressed out around 10#. This in not huge, but its wonderful for us. We can have turkey any time we want now without TONS of left overs. Next year I will do a couple broad brested. Im thing maybe 3. One for Thanksgiving and 2 for ground turkey. This wil make a wonderful addition to the freezer meat section. If only we had room to raise beef! We will just have to settle for Lamb, pork, turkey, goose,chicken and venison.
I also took in 3 roosters that were extras. Since they were not big beauties like the ones we raised, I decided to can them. This was a great idea and saved lots of freezer room. I had 3 birds and got 3 jars packed with meat. Its all pre cooked all you have to do is warm it and flavor it with your choice of herbs. We had over a specality long grain/wild rice mixture.
Hope to talk to you soon
