Here we charge £20 for a basic cut for pork or lamb.  Then £1 per kilo for sausages and bacon.  £5 for vac packing.   Customers are welcome to come along to watch and/or join in too.

Hope this helps.....and doesn't sound too much like an advert!!   :) :) :)

I get charged 45 quid for each pig including sausages.  Curious to know what others are being charged too now!

Oops, previous post submitted too early.  As I was saying, for our three lambs our butcher charged £20 per lamb and that included the slaughter.  I can tell them exactly what cuts I would like and it did include vacuum packs.

Our butcher charges 30 euros per pig butchered to our requirements including boning out, rolling joints etc.  Others charge massive amounts more for far less.

We've been told £20 per pig and at the time we were pleasantly suprised because in magazines etc. people seem to be paying £45-65.

Interesting. We were thinking, in the future, of asking butcher if he would trade some of our pork for lamb/beef - does anyone do this?

As I love to trade I did ask, but got the gallic shrug and a resounding non!

The two pigs we had slaughtered and butchered at the beginning of the week cost £42 each (this is for pigs up to 68kg once 'on the hook' as the butcher put it - this included the kill, lairage, disinfection, paperwork and basic butchering of the carcase into chops, boned shoulder joints and boned leg joints, belly strips and then 24 sausages from the head meat.
If we want to have more sausages then the extra cost is £2.20 per kilo, for curing/bacon its an extra £10 per primal (not too sure what a primal is though!!)

We thought that the basic costs seem to be very reasonable - I'm a bit surprised at the high extra cost for sausages though - £2.20/kg seems a bit steep, especially as JulieS says they charge £1/kg for sausies....

We're just starting out and trying to encourage customers to use us Sudanpan - local butchers/abattoirs around here charge around the £1.70 - £2.50 per kilo for sausages.
