Pendergrass Ranch - Big changes!

[Pearce Pastures]

Maybe if I had someone to watch a few times, I might see how I'd do. I will never forget going on a duck hunting trip with my uncle as a teen, hitting a large deer on the way out, breaking it's legs. It was screaming and no way it was going to be okay, so uncle put it down and phoned DNR, who arrived and asked if we wanted it, since it was a good sized doe and a waste of meat, so he said SURE. He had me help to field dress it and I came very close to losing it. That was half a life ago though so maybe it wouldn't be as bad as I remember.

Just read the article. One thing that makes it a bit easier, though not too much, is to cut a little opening on the leg and blow air in there with an air compressor to blow the deer (or goat) up and it will separate the hide from the meat. But not to much or you'll pop it. lol

btw the T-post is so redneck. lol

Oh we do have a huge compressor. I bet we could do that! Reminds me of how they do that with snapping turtles.

I can see how that would be fairly traumatic for you.

These goats definitely didn't suffer at all. They likely didnt know what was happening.

My knee is hurting more and more. It's like the side of the top of the knee cap. Super stiff ugh

Snapping turtles? What did you do with them that involves a compressor? lol

Sorry about that. How did they do that again? Just not being making things easy.

I'm not even sure if the goats did it. Could have been something else.

Didn't you ever see that show...bizarre foods I think. They caught and processed snapping turtles. To separate them from the shell, the blow them up

Nice job with the goats. I make hubby kill the animals. I can process them, no problem but I hate the killing part.

Yeah Drew does the killing to. I mostly just hold them still.
