Post by: arl on January 27, 2014, 03:33:26 pm: Hi Bodger
Am just about breaking even at that price but its better that than feeding pigs that no one wants to buy and really losing money, i have my own butchery and cut up the pigs myself having been a butcher for 25 years, so that saves money i just have the killing costs at my local abbatoir which they are very reasonable to me.
Regards
Arl

Post by: arl on January 27, 2014, 04:54:26 pm: Yes fingers crossed, i just seemed to have really good litters last year and xmas was a bit of a let down but i have cut right back and hopefully will amble along.Having gotten a part time job as well as.( working for pig food ) oh dear

Post by: cwmfarm123 on January 28, 2014, 06:07:33 pm: Hi
Was also wondering what courier you use, also have a few porkers available.
Sending from south wales region, anybody else use couriers for sending pork down this way
Any information greatfully received

I've just 'googled' Direct Logistics Goole and they seem to be part of APC overnight.
I used what must be a sister company from Malton for some Dexter Beef at Christmas and they were very good. It's not easy finding a company that will transport meat
It seems to be part of a nationwide group so I presume they'll cover Wales too cwmfarm123.
