With our geese we're thinking of asking from around £35-40+ for xmas pricing them at £8 per kg which we've worked out at that price for a 16lb (7kg) bird would be £56 dressed & delivery included if need be, but on the other end of the scale it would be £28 for a 8lb (3.5kg) bird, which I've found after doing geese for many years you don't see many 8lb geese, (Sorry it's weird for food weights I'm used to working in lbs & live animals kgs, so I don't mean to confuse you. But we haven't done any for a couple of years & always used to charge around £30 a bird starting price & butchers have told me thats cheap now & geese are going for closer to £50+ of course I don't want to charge lower than £30 really due to putting in around £20 worth of food into each bird over the year & the slaughter fees ect & the prices I've listed a local butcher is willing to pay me if I have any spare birds.
So I wanted to know do my prices seem fair? & it is including delivery if need be, within reason. Or is it best for me to maybe just do a base fee of say £2.50 - £5.00 + the weight of the bird = Total price?
Ideas & advice would be much appreciated xx.
