Until fairly recently, many of our pigs were sold through our guest house with the surplus being sold on.
Now we have a situation whereby, we cannot give away our pigs live, we are having to look at other ways of selling them.
Our location although lovely, does not help.
We are now looking at the possibility of a small on farm processing unit, ultimately our pigs would be taken to the abattoir for slaughter
and returned to our farm for butchering and resale, can anyone advise, have they experience of doing this sort of thing, and has it been successful?
Does anyone know, the legal requirements for such an enterprise?
