Title: cost of slaughtering pig.
Post by: GTFC197 on July 15, 2011, 17:10

Hi peeps,
hopefully in the next 3-4 weeks we will be getting our first weaners to fatten up for meat. Does anyone know if there is a slaughterhouse in the Spalding area, and how much it costs.
Think this is the last thing we need to find out.

Thanks.
Mick.

There is a list of slaughterhouses here.

I don't know what it would cost though sorry

thanks a million for the info, thought slaughterhouses were few and far between, can't believe how many are still around.
will be making a few phone calls on Monday.

Thanks again.

Mick.
