i am wanting to know how much it costs to slaughter and butcher lambs in Scotland
glad on any help

[ZacB]

Not Scotland I'm afraid but good for comparison. £15 abattoir costs plus £25 butchering, all product vac packed & individually labelled, priced if required.

[bj_cardiff]

For me in West Wales its £29 -£35 for kill and cut, not vac packed or anything, you need to re-package when you get back

[fsmnutter]

Depends where you are - I have used dingwall, grantown on spey and shotts abattoirs and the prices are very different.
It also varies with lambs/hoggets, although shotts don't charge extra for them.
Best bet is to call the abattoir you intend to use.

[SallyintNorth]

Cumbria and Cornwall £22-£25 kill and cut - in both cases paying the butcher, he pays the abattoir and fetches the carcass. I take the sheep to the abattoir and fetch the boxed meat from the butcher.

[twizzel]

Cornwall £30 kill and cut in bags or £32 kill cut and vac pac.

[samdunford]

south west yorkshire: £10 for abbatoir (killing and meat inspection stamp); can be a couple of quid to a fiver more (always a bit more if son does it!) for hoggs that must have spinal cord removed. Butcher 'em myself so not comparison cost there. NB: This is a small rural abbatoir but over the last few months it has been frequently picketted by animal rights acitivists who try to turn back customers, has occasionally got a bit heated.

Where do you go? .... Tregaron is less than that

[bj_cardiff]

Gower - Tregaron is too far to travel for me, happy with the service on Gower too

I believe scotbeef inverurie will slaughter for £16.50 but I think you need to organise the butcher.

[linton.ross01]

ok thanks
gives me an idea thank you

[Sheeponthego]

Quite expensive around the Aberdeen area more like £50... sorry!

[Sbom]

Ours is under 20 to kill and cut up! £50 

We are Midlands

[Sheeponthego]

£30 for slaughter  - £50-60 for cutting up - but they do a very good job.
Up in Turriff but cant remember name.

Ouch!! £80/90 kill and cut for a lamb is madness
