Proper job guys - great, honest and inspiring.
I agree, you took the words out of my French Canadian mouth !
Had to laugh when UA-cam trolled this video with a 'Vegan Now' advert! 🙄🤣
Proper Beats while working - yes
I do 50 birds at a time takes me 3 days to do it! I break it up over 3 weekend. Mostly on Saturday. I’m not as fast as your guy. You would fire me lol. I thought I was quick till I seen your guy gut and clean. Good stuff brother
Really good film explaining the process. It encourages me that even with the expense of equipment, and the labour involved you are still making a profit on 1000 birds.
Yea i was actually looking thinking... all those people, 350 birds processed, massive equipment costs couple of months feed and initial bird purchace... cant be making much.
A free range chook is around $15 nzd here... wonder what he is selling them for?
Would be keen to here a break down on profit of this one, extremely professional set up, good job!
@@howgoodisit yes the breakdown of costs would be very useful, even if there will be geographical differences. I think the pasture raising reduces some of the feed costs, but the devil is certainly in the detail.
"Don't watch if you don't want to see" What a novel idea.... Can't we all just get along????
Thanks for showing the *nitty gritty* of food production. Anyone who's too squeamish for that shouldn't be watching your channel *at all.* Hello from northern California!
Reverse it: Anyone who eats meat and should think about eating high quality meat should watch this video.
@@commentarytalk1446 😉 That’d work, too. Thanks!
The “gut truck” handles offal, sounds like. That element of the slaughter process is generally not addressed in videos I’ve seen. As I understand it, remnants of slaughter and processing are put in composting operations if they have very active, “hot” compost. If not, what is the destination for the offal?
fire
Very easy to compost, no smell, no bears. Top quality compost. I live in bear country, Slocan Valley, British Columbia,Canada.
Was wondering about this, since it must be possible to compost it on-site and recycle the nutrients..? Wondering what factors go into his choice to just give it to someone else.
Bra jobbat!
Is there any way to buy your products? Living in Stockholm. Any stores there that sell them?
I pasture raise chicken in Norrbotten, Sweden. Our operation is pretty much a copy of what Richard and Yohanna does. A friend of mine buys a few hundred birds that he then sells to people in Stockholm. I could put you in contact with him if you like.
@@magnuseriksson5547 I will be gone for quite some time until fall anyways, but it can't hurt to have contacts! I would love that.
Gillar skarpt ditt klarspråk angående hur dubbelmoralen inte är ok på din UA-camkanal. Helst skulle det gälla hela samhället. Vill du äta kött så innebär det att du måste acceptera att djur slaktas och dessutom veta hur det går till.
you can give me a work
It's kind of Ironic that your intro video regularly shows you preparing birds. Btw how come you don't warn people about you killing plants. Taking some plant, nestled deep in the warm earth being ripped from its home & killed!! 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
For some reason people think plants aren't conscious??
I wish people would get into their head that we are in a symbiotic relationship with the soil, a soil that will consume us as all of us as we die and make the space and materials for those that will come after us!!
Thank you Richard
This is an extremely back breaking job and smelly! We raised broilers for years until I got a back injury from my 8-5 job. Luckily the Amish community had a family that did processing and we were able to contract with. ❣ Appreciate your local Farmers that supply safe food for you, so you don't need to! 💯 ❣What would we do without them? Thanks!
Hey Richard, Thanks for another educational video, wishing you and the team all the best. Can't wait to get my hands on your ridgedale builds book😊👊🏽
Is the slaughter house in the video on the farm? I'm guessing it can be difficult to find good workers for a slaughter house that only operates for a couple of days, and work that few want to do... Do you have to pay more? Or are the workers people from your program? What are the chickens sold for? In my area it's about 60 kr in grocery stores and small farms sell the for about 150 kr. But I don't know if they're able to sell this quantity of birds at such high price (high in comparison to what consumers are used to pay).
Here s one for a silly comment: killing/"processing" shouldn't be included in the category of things beeing proud of, even if done locally. Sure, call it a necesity or responsibility for putting food on the table or a plain fact of life, but not a thing to be proud of - a little bit to much.
We're proud of doing a good job, and offering the best chickens you can buy in Sweden. Yes, we are proud of what we do mate!
Off course they should be proud. It is done as smooth and fast as it possibly can to minimise the suffering for the chicken and they have produced the best chicken available. What is there not to be proud of?
@@andersjonsson3292 as mentioned, it supposed to be a silly comment. No need to make it clearer, because all it does is to trigger a blabber no one needs. I get and respect your perspective on the matter.
One person's dream is another's nightmare.
I’m one who’s life you changed Richard . thank you. Iv recently become friends with a conventional farmer here in Ireland and have been telling him all about you and your work. Thank you Richard.
Excellent work👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing
Anyone else wondering what music was playing during processing?
Thank you so much Richard for sharing these videos. Before we processed our broilers for the first time, we watched your basics video on repeat. Gave us the step by step procedure which instilled confidence :) Thanks!
Thanks for showing the process, but this is gut wrenching and horrible, atleast they get a decent life outdoors.
Nicely done. Some commentary on proper cutting technique would be great. Whomever was wielding the knife was an expert.
whoever
It's truly sad that people still belive that cows and piggies choose to commit suicide ;) for us to have burgers and bacon.
So, no use for chicken heads?
I totally agree people commenting how inhumane to kill and eat. Well, these people got no idea how many insects and pests die from vegetables and fruits when growing and after growing. I find it is just a hypocrisy to think that way. Live and let other live how they want. Providing food isn't inhumane. That's the life cycle. Go tell to wild animals not to kill each other for food
Only one question to ask that kind of people:
- So you eating food does not mean any animals are killed or prevented to live somewhere in the foodchain leading up to your plate? Please explain, in detail.
as someone who works on a permaculture farm doing exactly what is shown in this video on a weekly basis, I would like to comment that many people who choose to eat no meat or little meat do it for a variety of reasons. I eat a mainly vegetarian diet with meat once or twice a month, usually a chicken I’ve raised and slaughtered or a fish that has been caught by someone I know. I’m not a vegan or vegetarian but I detest the massive farms we have here in the US that keep animals in torturous conditions, feed them poison, and then kill them, so for this reason I don’t really eat meat and usually only do so hand-to-mouth. there’s a massive difference between wild animals hunting for prey and massive CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operation) where millions of animals are kept from birth to death in complete captivity. we all have different reasons, please don’t assume any generalized group of people is hypocritical, it keeps us from being able to communicate and understand each other.
Okay so you send the blood and guts to wherever (didn’t really hear) but what if you are doing a smaller amount. Do you send it out as well? Really curious
Why not add the offal to a deep compost system on farm rather than have it picked up and taken away? Weve found layering it in a dedicated bed of wood chips and leaf compost keeps the flys, the smell and the critters out, and its completley broken down within a couple of months. Joel Salatin was the inspiration for our currrent method.
No disrespect at all, I am sure with how thoroughly you implement your procedures on farm that there is a good reason for it, so I was curious!
Because it’s illegal in Europe unless you have a certified facility, which you can’t make compost in
Slaughtery need to pick up the waste because of regulations? Else should be more easy to put in hotcompost for you or not?
Yup. and you ned to apply permit and hawe a certified facillity for this.
Well, I would like to watch as I will have to learn and these hens have lived a better life than any other chicken going to market. I understand people choose not to eat meat but that does not mean that we should all be vegans or vegetarian, but we can choose how the meat we eat is raised. So if you do choose to eat meat then choose to purchase from a person that rears their animals the right way.
Thanks for this video great as always
Who buys your eggs
Hi Richard, thanks for the helpful video. I didn't quiet understand the brand name of the poultry plucker, Do you mind writing it down in the comments? Thanks!
End a beautiful birds life for a ten minute meal.
and the taste is fantastisc good
What would you estimate your labor cost per bird for processing if you had labor compensated at prevailing Swedish labor rate?
Optimal 5hrs x 6 people = 30 hrs @ 16 eur = 480 Euro or 1.45 p/bird. Fresh team learning is more like 8hrs x 7 people = 56 hrs @ 16 Euro = 896 Euro, more like 2.70 p/bird
@@juufa72 I've documented this in past videos and my book. We run a self-inspection facility. No vets. We can train virtually anyone up in how to run the process. At our farm, we have a team with us for each season
Hi Richard, I have a lot of respect and appreciation for what you do and creatie but can it be a bit more market garden Ing,... Agroforestry?
Thanks I've been thinking of raising chickens for food just wish I could see how to gut the chicken. That's the part I get stuck on.
I've made many videos about that; check back on our channel!
The instructions are in the Regenerative Agriculture book.
Takes about gutting 3000 birds before you really get the hang of it! Good luck
I this is important for people to know where they're food comes from i believe its humane they live a good life 1 bad day
I love you smart creativity all the way from zambia in africa
You work smart and hard! A successful combination.
I have some questions
what is the size of pen needed for 1000 birds and the amt of feeders and drinkers?
Also what is the spacing required for each individual bird
Local regulation might change this but generally 1 square foot per bird deep litter housing, here in Philippines in cage system you will often find 50 or so birds in a 3 foot by 6 foot cage so that is less than 1/2 sqf per bird. I'm referring to broilers (45 day max life cycle) chickens that will be slaughtered between 30 and 45 days. More space needed for egg layers.
That is a well-oiled setup!
Nice your farm
Thanks. I been thinking about raising chickens for food. What kind of chickens are good for meat. I wish you could of spent more time on how to gut the chicken. That the part I get stuck on.
One of his earlier videos (maybe in the last 2/3 weeks) has Richard going through step by step on course day? Worth a flick back through
Joel Salatin also has a video on chicken processing. It is quite good. Shows beginning to end if whole process.
Really interesting, will look into that stunning devise
It's a requirement by law in the EU. You have to comply to regulations.
Thank you for your HARD work! The REAL people appreciate it.
This some aztec level sacrifice 😳
Are you sure you dont spread bird flu??
Did you see any sick birds?
HAHAHAHA
With the guts and organs wouldn’t that make for really good feed for an omnivore like hogs? I don’t think I’ve seen hogs in your recent videos . Is there a reason you don’t keep any ?
Pigs are not allowed to eat meat in scandinavia. Its the law.
@@annaaavaharju5433 I see, I figured one would have to cook them first or something vs a full stop ban.
There is some regulation in this area
