    looks good, just wanted to make sure i wasnt being robbed! seriously though, i wouldnt be able to have them butchered if i reared them myself, just couldnt do it, have often sent an old cow off to the factory with a heavy heart :o

    On similar note, I bought 3 heavy lambs off a mate last month in the field. He delivered to the abbatoir, and brought them back in a cardboard box :D
    I bagged them, and lobbed them in the freezer. €110 each.
    He made a few € more and I saved a few € plus I know I am eating good stuff.

    I used to buy half a pig for the freezer - it cost €100. Got a lot of pork chops, fillets and round roasts for it - all bagged and ready for the freezer. Recon if I was buying the same amount in a supermarket I could pay up to €300 for it. never went for teh bacon option from the butcher as i would have no storage or it.

    I assume you paid the abbatoir for that price?

    Thats great stuff whelan, any harm asking about profitability and the set up must have taken a fair investment.

    Does he take cash??
