I can't find any recent posts about private slaughter in the north east. Grantown (Millers) seems a long journey for animals in a trailer.
Am hoping to get pigs and sheep soon but want to ensure I've thought through the whole plan before we take the plunge.
Where do other folk go - I am just west of Aberdeen

Have you tried calling McIntosh Donald in Portlethen?  I know you must be part of QMS to send livestock there but it may be different for private kills.  It's worth giving them a call.

As far as I know Millers have stopped doing private kills - I could be wrong, they may have changed their minds. We now use Munroes at Dingwall which is a trek from Fraserburgh (we use Beedie bros to carry them) - they offer a butchery service and delivery back to our area. When we've used Millers you have to arrange your own butcher then collect when ready - another trek for all concerned.
Most abbatoirs now are only interested in large batches of animals....

Dingwall are easy to work with? We will have trailer going up end of Aug beginning of Sep. Pm if anyone needs to hitch a ride, we are beside Fyvie

We also use Dingwall. Very good but a bit of a trail.
