Hi all,

me and my husband are planning to start offering a service to butcher private kills for other farmers for their own consumption/meat boxes etc, we already do our own pork boxes and lamb and beef and are trained butchers with years of experience so could offer a higher quality and more bespoke service than the abattoirs, as well as making sausages, burgers etc to any recipe you wanted.

is this something you might be interested in using and if so how much would you expect to pay and what would you want from this sort of service? We’re in Gloucestershire but just scoping if there’s interest

TIA!
Poppy

Where are you getting your meat from? Split carcass from the abattoir?

Says they are in Gloucestershire, for some in neighbouring counties that could be very close or a long way.
A bit more detail on location would help them and potential customers.

You could let the pfla know, there is a thread on their forum asking about this.

That’s around where we’d hope to be price wise, thanks

The meat we sell ourselves comes from our own pigs and my dad’s beef and lamb put through the abbatoir for private kill, just setting up our little cutting room now
