[QUOTE="Coximus, post: 2655042, member: 12800"] Im between Leeds and York and sell Lamb & hogget direct and occasionally beef - it would be good to talk as I dont keep cattle so we wouldn’t be in direct competition. Generally speaking it tends to work out between 20-25% more profit per animal, as you end up doing ALOT more driving about, and have to pay slaughter and butchery costs. Direct to consumer sales are a nightmare as you have to deal with complaints and the often self convinced nature of the English public, and you need to be very very diplomatic (Not telling someone to go to hell when they say "I like my meat burnt but your lamb chops didnt burn very nicely, I want my money back" - That was Tuesday this week). You will get left with unpopular cuts, and nlots of mince, so make sure you have an outlet, In my case I've been trying making Kofta's etc which are reasonably popular - as well as doing special offer packs - So a shoulder, 8 chops and 500g/750g mince for an all in price of £10/kg. The helps to shift it. [/QUOTE]
