Title: Abattoir nearest Angus area?
Post by: PaulineW on September 09, 2014, 03:19:35 pm

I have one castrated male shetland lamb that I want to send away soon. It will be for my own freezer. Any suggestions as to where I can send him as I saw the thread here that St. Andrews abattoir closed? Thanks.

We use Dunblane. there's an abattoir at Brechin but I think it just does contract pigs (think, just).

Rosemary's correct - Brechin is pigs only.
There is ABP in Perth but not sure whether they would be able to help or like Brechin they are just contract jobs.
