I am fascinated by Polyface and the Salatin’s ministry and am very interested in seeing it up close by way of the Real Summer Experience. However, I have absolutely no experience when it comes to farming. Although the website does say “no experience required” how would you advise someone like me who isn’t sure what she’s in for? Thanks for your time!Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799371228831529603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319786384762939609.post-90603394857408102252009-07-28T10:06:00.813-07:002009-07-28T10:06:00.813-07:00Hello,

I am working on getting into poultry and just finished reading Pastured Poultry Profits. I was just wondering what ration mix(es) and additives Polyface is using for their different poultry right now?<br /><br />Thank you for your willingness to answer questions for us.<br /><br />ZechariahZechariah Stoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056183112717837682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319786384762939609.post-35056202247841495922009-07-27T21:31:42.102-07:002009-07-27T21:31:42.102-07:00So if you had to buy only ONE knife for the whole ...So if you had to buy only ONE knife for the whole Chicken/Turkey killing and evisceration, which would you choose?
