yeh had a feeling you would say that!! Abattoir it is then. Actually will look into learning the skill myself, but realistically i dont know if i could physically do the skinning and gutting etc,. Have shot sheep of my own in an emergency for welfare reasons, only because i am confident with a gun as i game shoot. There is however a huge difference between putting an animal out of its misery with a 4.10 and killing, bleeding, gutting etc a load of healthy lambs.
thank you bloomer, very helpful comments.
