When I left shepherding for meat hunting and casual work I was on $27 a week.
Here's a day's work meat hunting soon after. The 22 cents was for sinews. The 66 cents for the tail.

as a young shepherd I made $20 a week and had to work sat morning as well - I paid for dog vet bills saddle costs etc - but one good deer sold was twice my earnings -man I hunted hard it was good money because I was on a down hill street as young shepherd - but I was was young very fit and skinny lol
