Cutting up 1000 lbs of Animal


Yesterday Megan and I cut up 1000 lbs of meat. There was beef, tripe, turkey and chicken skins, and fish. We have an old meat cutter from the 1950s that we use. It took us about 7 1/2 hours nonstop to get it all done. We were cutting the meat into small finger-like pieces, that will be used to feed the dogs when Ken is running the Iditarod. There are checkpoints along the Iditarod, where Ken's drop bags will be sent. Then, along the way he will pick up the bags which will have the meat for the dogs, food for himself, clothes and other things he needs replenished during the race. We took advantage of having whole fish around to take a picture for our friend Austin. It was his birthday, and since he is in New Zealand the note makes sense......
