Freezer meat

[nelly55]

What is everyone paying to slaughter,and cut up a lamb,beast at a licenced slaughter house.I dare not put the figures on here that someone told me we’re been charged locally.A stiff whiskey would be required ,or in my case tea with plenty of sugar for shock

£33 last year for a lamb / hogget, cut labelled and bagged.

 

[Bald n Grumpy]

£30 last June for a hogget , came back ready to go in the freezer

 

[Tim G]

£59. Slaughtered, cut, packed and priced, delivered back to us ready to retail. Its gone up massively this last year but what hasn't.

 

[borderterribles]

£140 for a beast, just killed and quartered plus £20 delivered back the following week.

 

[DieselRob]

£30 last year for lamb/hogg

 

[Sprig]

£50 kill and cut, vacuum packed and labelled. By no means the most expensive around here but they do a good job. It us tricky to find a reliable butcher around here and out of the few we have who will take private kills half have v dubious hygiene standards.

 

[Llanman]

Had 3 done last week slaughtered cut and bagged ready for the freezer
£105.

 

[Muddyroads]

£43 kill, cut and vac packed. The vacuum packing adds quite a bit to it but is essential for selling.

 

[twizzel]

£50 kill cut and vac pack. Apparently £30 of that is the kill fee

How long does it take to cut a lamb up and pack it?
It sounds like there's people working for next to nothing.

 

[onesiedale]

cutting up and packing beef is a different game altogether.
wouldn't be surprised if you were quoted £500 for that.

 

[TripleSix]

£60 a pig at the moment, killed, cut up, vac packed and labelled.
And trim made into 12 sausages

Pretty much spot on:
Two otm bullocks last week. Kill, hang, cut, vacpac and box: £971.92 ( though £78.98 of that reclaimable vat) .

Ours work it on weight and from memory a 300 kg (dw) is £400, which seems good value as most of ours go otm so the kill charge is double. If we want beef burgers made, that's extra but otherwise that all packed and labeled.

That is remarkably good value. Do you have abattoirs fighting for the trade round your way ?

 

[Mc115reed]

£32+vat kill cut and vac pac a lamb where I go

No, down to one independent within a hours travel that will do private kill.

Someone who works there is local to us and does the butchery, he's a chiller etc at home so we collect from him, he does an excellent job, can do sausages and bacon etc too

Kill, cut and pack shouldn’t have vat charged.
