grinnell-locker For brats we do not even reduce the plate for the second grind, just do the second grind with the same 3/8" plate & it is perfect.
What age do you let kids help butcher?

dawg I say start them as soon as possible or that yall can agree on my kids have been using knives since they were 3 and skinning and processing deer fish chickens and other animals since age 4. Now they’re 12 and 13 and I hardly get to touch a knife unless they’re in school. They understand where our food comes from and they embrace it. Good luck.
Just had to share a few photos. I’m so proud of these two kids. And believe it or not they love to make sausage. -

mrobisr said in What age do you let kids help butcher?:
dawg We have introduced our little ones to harvest at whatever age we did the kill and processing. Never thought about age, if we needed to process then we all participated and seen the process. We consider it as a part of life and since it is necessary for life on this planet the process is just as natural as death and therefore should not be avoided.
Very well said. That’s how we went about it. Never thought about age.

cdavis nice to see kids showing an interest in the reality of food production. Great job!

cdavis 10 thumbs up. These days they keep denying kids this & that & trying to fill them up with pills, etc. All they really need is a little time on the farm to work some of that energy off in a constructive environment.

Deepwoodsbutcher it has been an amazing pleasure to watch these 2 grow up so fast and to see how their skill level increases each time. I often think of you as I watch my daughter bone out a deer. She is faster than me or Cooper and does a better job. I think she will do quite well for herself. Thanks

I remember being 4 or 5 sitting in the garage with my grandfather processing deer he shot. Same age with my dad when he used to hunt.
