Guest guest Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hi All, Was surprised when Warren told me the ducks haven't gotten sold yet. Where did all the people go who wanted them? Well, duck lovers, good news and bad news. Bad news first. If you want whole ducks, get them from the Warehouse now. I took them down to the processor under the mistaken assumption that the processing was going to be reasonably priced. I was wrong. Half of the price being charged for those birds is going for the processing. I can't afford to raise them on what's left. The ducks that are still on the hoof will be going today for processing but will then get turned over to Meyer's Meats for smoking. If you are wanting smoked duck for Christmas, I guess its good news but I am going to have to rethink raising ducks when the processing costs this much. I will be delivering various goodies to the Warehouse on Saturday. As always, I have every intention of being there early but it is a very long drive. Along with the ducks, I am taking turkeys, pheasant, chickens and guineas down for processing. Guinea is much like pheasant only priced like chicken. I believe the turkeys will be in the 10 lb range, they will also be priced the same as chicken. Hoping to get more teas, soups and noodles made up. Did get some mustards made - Green Peppercorn, Tarragon & Honey, Garlic & Red Wine. Will make more for December. You folks will really like those. Off to load birds, Pat Z. Faith keeps me farming, farming keeps me broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
