Firstly this is not a sales pitch and I know I don't contribute much to the Forum, however I did think it was worth while letting people know in the Angus/Tayside area that Matheson Jess are now taking private kills and that they are also able to take OTM (over 30 month) cattle to.
I used to use St Andrews, where I would have no problem going back to but having an abbatoir just 15 minutes up the road makes the whole process quicker and less stressful for all concerned.
I have had both lambs and a Highlander done there in the last 2 months and found no problem with the service or their prices. I also use a local butcher in Brechin which helps with the transport costs.
I have included the abbatoirs details for anyone interested.
