Title: Turners abattoir Farnborough
Post by: princesslayer on May 03, 2015, 08:04:09 am

Does anyone use Turners Abattoir at Farnborough, Hants? It is now our only local choice as Laverstoke has closed.

Anyone know what Turners is like? We are first timers this year and will have only six lambs to take.

Thanks

Sorry I cannot help, as about to ask the same question as I have 4 hogget to go.  I was speaking to a farmer at Salisbury market this week and he has always used Turners and has no problems with them but I hope someone with first hand experience will answer - essentially I have no choice though.

Again second hand but a friend has used Farnborough and has recommended them to me now that Laverstoke has closed.  Says it is rather odd but is happy with what they do.  I won't need to go there until September so am interested in what you think if you use them.

I won't need to go til autumn at earliest, but like others I have no choice really, now Laverstoke is closed. I haven't heard anything bad about them so far, so fingers crossed!
