Hi there.
I am new here so forgive my early rant...................HOWEVER...................some peeps seriously do massively under price their produce! Its a fact!
If you take the time to research what your meat may be worth, make sure you compare like with like. By that I mean animals that have been reared with care and attention, no expense spared on the welfare, feeding, vetinary care, etc, then start factoring in the time, transportation costs, advertising costs, and then count to ten............take a deep breath and ask yourself how much is that Rare Breed animal worth to you? How much would that butcher charge his punters for some its pork? Most importantly do you want to 'sell it' or 'give it away', thus harming all other breeders and their already pitifull margins!
This is not in anyway meant to be an attack on anyone, but looking around in internet land there do seem to be some 'desperados' keen to unload what should be a premium product at ridiculously low prices.
Our pedigree pork sells for £175 per half pig, sausages at £8.50 a kilo. Bacon, all cuts at £16 per kilo, I am certainly not being greedy either. The thing to remember is NEVER under value your hard work and love of your stock!
Worthy of note, once you factor in all the little things you always see fit to forget in your costings............at the prices I charge........... we still.........'aint getting ritch'.
I hope my rants help
Regards
