After the harvest less slaves were needed on the farm. Slaves cost money to keep and money is tight in Winter. To solve this the numbers are reduced . The farmers wife calls this chopping day.

Their white skins contrast with the slaves who work outside.
After all had been beheaded the carcasses were sold to a local butcher.
