Blah day

This morning there was a wicked frost, man was it cold! Seemed like a good day to stay inside and make cat food and sausages. Well when the air temperature is so low, things don't defrost so well, so the cat food production was off, but sausage making was all on.
I decided on a wild rabbit sausage, a made up recipe:

800g Rabbit meat
1 onion
4 slices bread (white)
ts fresh sage
ts pepper leaf
100g Lard

mince meat
crumb bread
mix
sausageify

Really simple, and they taste yummy!

That chewed up a good hour or so, and then we decided that the sheep needed weighing, so I went across to Jule's and Andy's and after a cup of tea we all headed back (sheep aswell) to give them a quick weigh. Turns out that they are a few weeks off, hopefully they'll start piling the weight on soon.
Once we weighed them, I and took a poo sample from the ram with a really runny bum, and set the microscope up, we had a coffee and waited for the eggs to float. Ended up finding a couple of eggs so we drenched all of them.

Then this afternoon, I slaughtered the rabbits and put them in the freeze, not bad really, 5 rabbits and 7.5Kg of carcases.

Sorry, no photos today!
