    When shipping to warmer states, such as arizona, seems you should perhaps add more dry ice on the top as well? May help.

    • @ayersvalleyfarm
      @ayersvalleyfarm ปีที่แล้ว

      Great suggestion. We have tried that in the past but what we ran into was the dry ice would get between the packages of meat and rub holes through the vacuum sealed packages. This lead to a lot of relaxed packages and replacements. So we decided to stick with the bottom for the dry ice with a paper barrier between it and the meat packages to eliminate the rubbing holes issue.

  • @kathyd65
    @kathyd65 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm pleased to see you doing this and will definitely look up the results as I bought from another ranch closer to where I live in Az and the box arrived with all the dry ice melted and most of the meat defrosted. Since the box arrived on a hot day and I wasn't home to bring it in immediately, I wrote to the company and they did replace the box however, this time I was home and the time it took to come to my house was still several days and again, all ice was melted and most of the chicken was no longer frozen albeit still chilled and part of the pkgs of hamb was defrosted as well. It made me not want to purchase this product anymore as it felt the boxing/insulation was not sufficient. Hope it works out!

    • @ayersvalleyfarm
      @ayersvalleyfarm ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey there! We have dialed in our dry ice usage for the most part. The only thing we cant protect against are delays beyond 1 day. We pack extra dry ice to account for 1 day delays and that covers us for 99% of our hot summertime shipments.

  • @kathyd65
    @kathyd65 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not to be morbid or get too graphic, but how do they actually end the chicken's life? I've always heard stories of just chopping the head off and the body is still active but do they give them something to sedate them or fall asleep or is that may be bad for meat production later? I'm just curious.

  • @johnny257
    @johnny257 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was wondering. In my area we really only get grass fed ground beef. Where does all the tri tip, ribs, and brisket go? I thought they would have all varieties grass fed, but nope. Just ground beef and riny sealed steaks.

    • @ayersvalleyfarm

      That is a great question. We do our best not to raise hogs in the winter but if we do, they get hay to bed down in/snack on and still have their corn and soy free non GMO feed available at all times.

    Interesting video about the process of raising your chickens. The cows that you featured on the last video will eventually graze on the ground where the Chicken tractors were? I heard several people mention the benefits of rotational grazing where you have both cows and chickens on the same pasture land.

    • @ayersvalleyfarm
      @ayersvalleyfarm ปีที่แล้ว

      That is correct, the cows graze the forage that the chicken fertilize for us. It works beautifully!

    • @ayersvalleyfarm

    What is the benefit of having a no corn feed?

  • @opcn18
    @opcn18 ปีที่แล้ว

    GMOs aren't a source of dietary glyphosate because it's not applied at the end of the growing season but rather the start and middle. It is sometimes used on non-GMO crops to "dry down" and speed up maturity, so wheat is the number one crop for actual glyphosate in diet, though then it still isn't beyond what is safe for us to eat.

    • @ayersvalleyfarm
      @ayersvalleyfarm ปีที่แล้ว

      That is a great point, thats why it is important to partner with local farmers that you know and trust to raise needed grains with out glyphosate use. Regardless of what is deemed safe, we decided when starting Ayers Valley Farm to avoid glyphosate at all costs to ensure our customers glyphosate free meats. Thanks for stopping by with your knowledge!

    Did you butcher yet? What size were they? I usually butcher at 7 weeks. 9 weeks gave me 7 to 9 pound butcher weights and were hard to fit in the killing cones

    • @ayersvalleyfarm
      @ayersvalleyfarm ปีที่แล้ว

      Keep in mind we use corn and soy free feed, so our feed efficiency is a lot different than most wit soy and corn. They finished at an average 5.32lb carcass weight at 8.5 weeks. I believe that is around an average 7.6lb live bird weight at processing.

    • @Matt-1926
      @Matt-1926 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ayersvalleyfarm Thanks. That's why I was curious. I use a corn based ration. I'm considering switching to see the difference in quality and if you have the time I was curious of your feed consumption. I usually do 50 bird batches. I found when I go to 7 weeks 50 birds will consume 150 lbs. of started and 500 lbs. of grower. My average consumption is 13 lbs of feed per bird and gives me a finished average f 6.3 lbs. I use to go to 9 weeks but found it was more expensive. Those dang birds will consume another 500 lbs of feed in the last 2 weeks. Giving me an average consumption of 23 lbs of feed per bird but only takes the finish weight up to 8.5 average. Not only was the larger carcass more difficult for us to butcher but it actually cost an extra 6% per pound to raise them the extra 2 weeks? Thanks for your time. I subscribed and look forward to seeing more videos.

    • @ayersvalleyfarm
      @ayersvalleyfarm ปีที่แล้ว

      Ahh that is some good math. We are around 17lbs per bird for the weights above. I need to experiment more to see if more or less is better.
