I have no problem with killing my own meat and I think that we might end up going back to the good old days before we know it. But the only thing I hate to do is sticking them to bleed them out and gutting them.
When I was 8yo my Dad and I would go to my friends farm and slaughter several hogs and cows a year and I was always the one that had to stick them soon as they were shot. I was so glad when I was big enough to start shooting them instead of the sticking part.
I am hoping to be self sustainable in the next few years on my land in the hills of TN. But I am with you Rachel, I think I would rather blow the chicken heads off then cutting them. Definitely less personal and hands on per se.
