the laws pretty simple,,
a farmer/smallholder can kill/bleed/skin & cut a animal
he owns on his own property for his & family's own
consumption ,,
the problems start with the disposal of the waste is
offal & bone,according to defra laws, I'm lucky that
my mate operates a by-products business collecting
this waste, so sort of a mutual partnership for me, him &
the farmer/small holder concerned
I want to specialise in injured cattle own consumption
at the moment,, laws have just changed and there will be
no such thing as a slaughtermans license, moreover
a certificate of competence ,, which I take in January
but can do injured animals now under animal welfare law
