[QUOTE="delilah, post: 9066001, member: 76758"] It depends what your objectives are. Don't assume you will automatically make more money. It will cost around £450 for the kill/hang/cut/vac pack. If you need to put a value on your time, compared to just shoving it in the livestock market, then you need to be selling the meat for, say, £600 more than the beast would make live, ie £150 for your time taking the orders, chasing the inevitable non attender on collection day. If the beast would have made £1200 in the market then you need £1800 from the box sales. So 10 boxes at £180. Can you find 10 people happy to stump up £180 in one hit ? It is good value, but folks don't have the 'bulk buy for the chest freezer' mentality they once had. You can take more than £1800 by selling individual cuts rather than a box, but you are then into the world of envi health etc. [/QUOTE]
