[QUOTE="cowmop, post: 7515379, member: 146763"] We have done this for the past 15 years. Brought between 2 and 4 weeners in the spring and kept them outdoors whilst feeding corn. Once to size we take them to a very small local slaughter house and butcher who kills and makes up what we ask for including sausages. In the past we have sold a full or half to family but never raised a profit, I think when we do 4 but kept 1 ours might just have been paid for by the other 3. For me it's just a case of enjoying keeping them and having a freezer full of meat that is actually nice to eat, nothing more and nothing less. One thing to consider is finding a decent local slaughter house you can trust that also can kill outdoor reared if that's where you keep them, if it wasn't for my local man I think it would be too much trouble or pointless to carry on.
