fishfish 17 Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 i meant lamb mate sorry , ill try the market at the weekend and see what they say , what do i ask for if i want a lamb cut up ? just how i just ses it ? now if you have the freezer space the way to save nearly 70% on the cost of lamb and pork isto buy from the farmer direct and take to slaughter yerself! contact DEFRA for a holding number,tell them that you are only wishing to buy from market and streight to slaughter. i can buy a whole pig for £40.00 slaughter charges £12.00 so for under £60.00 i have £150.00 worth of pork,and by the time ive made hams,bacon,panccetta sausages brawn etc the total value is closer to £250.00!

fishfish 17 Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 not sure where the nearest slaughter house is to me and would i be able to take it to the slaughter house then get it back and have to butcher it my self or ? idealy in a horse box,if you dont have one a high sided trailer will do with a tarp over the top.i usually pay someone i know to use their horse box with meat! the slaughter house will butcher the whole thing for about £20 ,as ime a butcher i usually just get mine back cut down the middle into 2 halves.
