I sent my four boys for slaughter last week in grantham, the lincolnshire meat company, and it cost £ 80 (£20 per pig) .The vet let me in to see them go as i wanted to see the whole process myself ,from birth to death.I did cry ,but it was over within 3 seconds and the vet talked us through it.
Our butcher charges £25 for half a pig and you can have it how you want.

I have never been able to "go through the door" with ours, but up to. I was told it takes 3/4 seconds, am really pleased to have an independent person confirm this. Thanks.

Hi,
What a variation in killing costs just to add a few more prices the slaughter house I use charges (Wait for it!).
Pork pig €40.00
Bacon pig €60.00
Cheap or What?.
Kind regards
Joe

I get mine slaughtered and a whole carcass made into bacon for 38 euro. From what i am reading on this site that is a good price.

Thats really, really cheap. Costs us 30 euros for slaughter, another 30 for butchering then I make the bacon. It must have cost a fair bit for the salt to do a whole pig!

We get them killed in our local factory Ballon meats who charge 13 euro and then our local butcher cures 18 pounds of back rashers 32 pounds of ham and in the last pig we decided to get everything else in sausages. We ended up with 45 pounds of sausages and all this for just 38 euro.
