Although we don't eat the skin, I think it adds so much flavor to the broth . . . and probably meat, too. I'm sure there are several good videos on the Internet to study to learn butchering.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-24382624877753546262014-10-30T09:08:58.501-05:002014-10-30T09:08:58.501-05:00Florida Farm Girl - Our forecast keeps threatening...Florida Farm Girl - Our forecast keeps threatening a hard frost but it never seems to happen.
