Kind of gave me a good warm feeling inside ..... (although I did feel a bit bad when I led it up the garden to the slaughterman!) Can't wait to taste it, it looks lovely! I weighed it all and its come out at 19kg (that does include the bones in the legs of lamb etc). Think we sent it off at about 40kg. Hannah

How much did it cost to get killed and butchered?

£20 - that is with a slaughterman that comes to our house and does the deed here.

I thought it was good value too - not having to go to an abattoir (of which there are none near us - nearest is about 40 miles away) plus the stress on the animals (and us too!)

I didn't think there were any mobile slaughtermen left, did he take all the gunk with him?

Great I bet your really looking forward to eating the meat. We felt a bit guilty when we had our first pigs butcherd but soon got over it when we tasted the first couple of chops, yummy, how handy is that to have the slaughter man come to you, at least youll be sure of getting your own animal back. https://www.freewebs.com/bramblescroft/

Would keep quiet about that as its not legal (you could kill it your self but not some one else unless its on licenced premises which I assume you dont have). Bet the meat was not stamped with a heath mark?
