This is fascinating! Thanks for the replies. Hopefully there will be more. If I find time (

) I'll pop them into a chart to make for easier comparison.

Sorry for the high costs in the Orkneys

My costs in late October for 'Kill and Split' were £22 per pig in a 85 -100 kilogram size from Joseph Morris in South Kilworth, Leicstershire. Kill and split means exactly that; killed and split down the middle with one side still retaining the head with the pluck returned in a plastic bag.

P.S. I am fortunate in having a drinking pal in the village who was a butcher.

And the prices from the Eastern contingent are as follows:

Kill 20.00
Kill and cut 48.00
Sausages at 75p per lb

We got a home butcher and he charged £50 per pig

Mine were about £28 to kill and £0.70 per kilo for butchery on dead weight. Another £0.70 per kilo if you wanted vac packed. Sausages were extra - wasn't much though and had loads and I did my own bacon.
