We used to raise different kinds of poultry on our ranch on green forage with supplemental certified organic feed for the last few years. We moved them to new pastures every few days with electric netting. This of course was no big hindrance for predators in the air and on the ground.
The resulting losses and the non approval by “Animal Welfare Approved” of the only available poultry slaughter facility in our surrounding are the reasons we do not raise poultry for the time being.
We hope to be able to find a different (and humane) slaughter facility and more man power to do the daily time consuming chores to bring you these tasty birds back on the table.
