And did you know that it's their 25th anniversary this year? Neither did I.

Good morning, Ty. How are you? Good. Hang on one second. My computer is doing something weird. Okay. Nevermind. We're good. Okay. So, um, Ty is not far from me. Where are you in LaSore, Ty? 01:26 Uh, right outside we live over by the Cambria plant. Oh, okay. Yep. And we live over by Michael Foods on Highway 8. you're maybe five miles away from me, I think. Yeah, not terribly far. Yeah. So it's a hyper local episode today, guys. I'm very excited about this. What does CT stand for? Uh, stands for Chad and Ty. So I'm Ty, the son of the operation and then Chad is my dad. 01:57 Okay, awesome. That makes sense. I would normally I would ask how the weather is where you are, but we have been having the most glorious streak of beautiful weather here in Lesor. Oh, God, yes. Today is just beautiful. My husband and my son have been outside all morning watering plants and getting our plant sale set up and all kinds of things. And I've been taking 02:22 I've been taking care of stuff in the house and doing dishes and the stuff that the girls do so So tell me about yourself and what you guys do, please um So kind of just all started, you know I was Wasn't having fun really doing concrete breaking my back for a whole lot of money, you know processing pretty easy money We've been doing it 02:49 I've been doing it for a very long time now. My dad used to do it when he was younger. So it was kinda like in our family. You know, we knew what we had to do. We knew that it would provide everything for us. You know, it cost us less money if we just butchered the animals ourselves. Saved us money and it provided food for our family. So you know, it was kind of a big plus to it. There's one guy getting out of 03:18 mobile processing for chickens and we just kinda started questioning if we could do it. We were gonna go buy that trailer but it sold so we were like alright well we can kinda base our trailer off of that. So we did, we tried our best and it turned out pretty good. As a business getting into something obviously there's some stuff that needs to adjust. 03:47 which we are slowly working towards. Our business is definitely getting better and better every year. Our customers love our birds that we do for them. They love us. And we love having them come to us. So yeah, I mean, it's pretty fun. Awesome. So is it only chickens that you guys butcher or do you do other things as well? 04:16 Uh, we mainly stick to chickens. Um, we do butcher our own animals at home. have a little hobby farm per se. So. Yeah. Cause, a friend of ours was looking at getting into mobile butchering and discovered that, um, the state of Minnesota does not really smile upon much else except chickens for mobile butchering. Yeah. They don't really like you doing everything else really because 04:45 You know, there's just a lot of stuff going on in the government. Uh huh. Yeah. All the rules and regs that you have to follow and, something about that, that the USDA inspector person has to come out and be there for butchering of anything other than a chicken or a rabbit, think. Yep. Yeah. And that's, that's difficult to schedule and they don't really like to do it from what I've heard. So. 05:14 Yeah, that's a big thing.
