Cattle at the slaughterhouse is much more expensive here mate, they take the piss. Its €250 to get a cow done and they don’t knock anything off if it’s still small like a veal cow/calf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 12,388 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 If you're only going it for you and the family why not do the whole thing yourself? Surely paying for a band saw, little set up to work on etc and getting your butcher just to come and slaughter would work out better in the long run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly mate, I just couldn’t be arsed with all the mucking about and it’s yet another excuse for some ministry prick to call on you and drive you mad. €350 all in including cost of buying the cattle for a years worth of veal for 6 people is fine by me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair call.. paying for less bullshit I get that. I went with a cheap wifi provider, at the change of my last contract Out of curiosity what's the dead weight compared to what you get back in meat etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
