No wonder them prices way over the top. Agree you have to be organised.I too have sold boxed lamb before and was inundated with repeat orders, so that wasn't a problem, it also too was called the best lamb ever tasted
I didn't have a single one say no thankyou not again...
However, after pricing up the time spent dropping them off, fuel, picking them up, fuel, storing in freezers and delivering some, plus paying butcher and slaughter, I make more money selling them into a market or selling dead than I do selling as boxed lamb
The closest abattoir to me doing private kills was charging £24 for slaughter and £20 for butchery, that's ontop of the time and labor doing it all, the abattoir has now closed and the nearest one doing private kills is 60 miles away, just not viable
