I have to agree,when I saw the butchers meat he had there in the bags with prices etc on it,it looks so much more professional and like you say you do get what you pay for,I shall send in some pictures of the finished product next week.

I am rather excited as is my first time with pigs and I hope I have fed them in such a way as to produce nice pork without excess fat! :thumbsup:

Leghorn...sometimes it is worth paying the little bit extra to start with to get a good result. Then, later as you get more experienced you can cut corners and costs.

i hope you do enjoy your pork. it tastes all the better for having been involved in the care of the pigs.

Expensive on the slaughter, cheap on the butchery, but theres butchery and BUTCHERY. Why not take a course and then you can DIY, plus make your own sausages and bacon.

I use Chapman's abattoir at Shotts & their butcher shop in Wishaw does the cutting for me (when I'm selling direct as opposed to eating myself).
I had 3 pigs (all around 50Kg deadweight) 2 were done as pork and 1 as bacon (curing doubles the price per kilo). Cut, vac packed and labelled and the total cost (including the kill fee for each) was £168. I was really happy with their approach to slaughter (Bruce was there and saw the whole process) the standard of butchery and their customer service (in case you didn't realise - I'm really picky !  ;)) It's worth doing the rounds of all your local butchers til you find one you can trust, it'll hopefully be a long and mutualy beneficial relationship  ;D.

The shop i am at usually charge for the butchery side full carcase split, cut, joints boned and rolled if asked for by customer diced steaked and packaged ready for the freezer, included in price is the packaging materials also sausage made burgers also if asked, if it is a customers own porker then the price is around the £40 mark.

We could not diy here,the premises (our cottage) is not large enough,we would have to have something built to suit. :( The butcher we are using is certainly professional,his name,John Robinson......http://www.tebbits.co.uk/   :thumbsup:  I have been down today talking over which what and so forth on the pork,can't wait really,we are going to have a mix of sausages aswell-Cumberland,Lincolnshire and such  :yum: it is all rather exciting!
