    KNIVES!! What kind/brand is best?

    Id like to say again my good knives never touch poultry. Besides cross contamination, poultry will ruin a good knife. I have a sani safe 4 inch chicken sticker and a bunch of sani safe 3 and 4 inch knives that get used for everything to do with birds. They all are great quality and very cheap...

    KNIVES!! What kind/brand is best?

    No actually it is a J. Marttiini of finland. Rapala picked them up and now you can get them at wal-mart for 15 bucks. They come with a wooden handle so you can change it if you like. We had an exchange student from finland when i was a kid and she gave me a small J. Marttiini knife and the...

    KNIVES!! What kind/brand is best?

    I only use sani safe knife's for our mobile poultry trailer. Takes alnost no effort to keep them sharp. Best sharpener on the planet is a vehicle window. For all other critters i only use my fishing fillet knife. Works great for everything and was cheap.

    Buying Butcher Ready Critters

    I slaughter and butcher all our animals. Its easy. You can buy a pig and process it yourself for a lot cheaper than you can raise it, but as nh said you should know what they have been treated with so you can make sure its out of them. Get a good meat grinder, sharp knife, and a saw. You can...

    NH Homesteader- turkeys!

    "Grab it by the hooves and beat it to death" im hands down the wrong person to ever let me catch someone beating any animal to death. Seems obvious to me that some people on here dont have animals especially with comments like that.
