YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Unlock the secrets to ethical and efficient on-farm poultry processing!

Join visionary farmer Joel Salatin as he walks you through the respectful and practical steps for processing chickens on a small scale. From treating the animals with "respect and sacredness" to the specifics of the kill cone, proper bleed-out technique, and the critical scalding process, this session (17 - Processing Logistics Part 1) provides an unvarnished look at turning your pasture-raised birds into market-ready product. Joel shares the small details that make a massive difference in quality and respect for the animal.

Key Takeaways:

- Maintain a gentle, quiet environment, embracing the Temple Grandin idea of gentleness.

- Slit the throat close to the head on the edge of the neck to hit the jugular, avoiding the windpipe.

- The scalder ideally should be a rotary type at 145 degrees for about a minute, with continuous movement.

- Add soap to the scalding water to break water tension and improve water penetration of the feather follicle.
