Hi folks,
Now that we're not breeding pigs anymore I've got a few bits for sale if anyone is interested?
Domestic mincer and stuffer - comes with course and fine mincing plates and 3 different sized plastic sausage nozzles. Cost £80 from Northern tools a few years ago and has only been used a handful of times - VGC and with original box. £50.
Manual (horizontal) sausage stuffer, stainless steel, holds 5kg of mixture, 3 sizes of nozzles. Cost £100 and has only been used a few times too - VGC £80.
I also have a Tipo electric meat slicer - I bought this second hand for £80 it's working but needs a new blade. It's fairly old I think, but ex-commercial and weighs a tonne! It's the kind of thing which needs it's own place to sit - i reckon you'd put your back out trying to get it out and in a cupboard on a regular basis! I'd be happy with £40 for it.
I'll get some photos on asap (need to resize them for TAS). The mincer and stuffer could be posted/couriered but I think the slicer would be a collection/meet up only item due to weight (it's REALLY heavy - more than a 25kg bag of pig food  )
Any takers? 
Karen

ahh why have you stopped breeding?

Have you tried selling them on Ebay? Stuff like that should sell quite quickly I am sorry to hear that you're not breeding pigs any more

Bruce's health hasn't been good and isn't likely to improve much longer term - he spent 8 weeks confined to bed before Xmas and it really put it all into perspective! Trying to do it all on my own plus looking after his majesty (who, by the way, is more demanding and more of a child than my 4 kids put together  ) was going to see me either in a box or the loony bin  Storm Frank also gave my old shed a major battering and the cost of replacing it is seriously scary and money we're NEVER going to make from keeping / breeding pigs. I've kept hold of a gilt and a little castrate from last years' litter - they might stay as pets long term or (more likely) end up in the freezer once the kids notice we've run out of sausages 
On the plus side, the business should make a profit this year

Karen I think I'd like the mincer/stuffer, but just need to check with Chris when he comes in if that's OK. Could be coming to Lanark on Thursday maybe.

Sorry to hear Bruce has been ill, that sounds stressful.

I'll buy the meat slicer. I can get it next time I'm down at Lanark
