Don’t know your exact situation mate but I always say they don’t take up any freezer room all the time they are walking around eating. Lol I just kill my stuff as I need it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol I just kill my stuff as I need it. The pigs booked in on first of next month, my share of a few that a mate has been keeping on mine, so that's coming regardless. The sheep are less urgent but i want to get them dealt with before winter kicks in properly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I just do them as I need them but cattle for veal by about 10/11 months and boars by about a year but really they should be earlier. Sows it don’t bother me to leave. Sheep I just leave and pick as I need. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
