How does it work?
First choose which shop you would like to sort your meat. We come to your place with all the necessary equipment required and slaughter the animals on your property.
- Have your sheep in a small pen or trailer.
- Beef during September – April (dry months) need to be left in a small paddock which is handy for our truck to access
- Beef during the wet months, need to be in cattle yards or pens or have a tractor available to take the animals back to the truck.
- Please note that our truck is very heavy and high so wet paddocks and low hanging trees can cause problems.
- Offal removal can be arranged at an extra cost, however if you have a trailer, or tractor, or large sacks it can be put in these for you for easy disposal.
- We offer full service for Pig slaughter/scolding. Phone the butchery for a booking
