    Here in Scotland we never home killed any cattle but we did our pig can’t anymore as it’s illegal now, I used to enjoy helping to make sausages and we cured our own bacon every bit of the animal was used it saw us through winter, it makes you appreciate what that animal did for us. These guys are awesome to watch

    Right, those 2 didn't monkey around...got right to it and had a pretty handy little set up with that truck. I'm in the states and you can still home kill but you must consume, you cannot sell it. That stated, beef is not economical to do on your own as who is going to build a cooler to hang it in for 10 days before cutting it up, and you cannot transport it as far as I know.

    We also cannot sell it as it need to be inspected by a certified meat inspector to be sold.

    @@kiwifarmernz Sounds like it's pretty similar to the US. Here we have 3 types of processors. 1st is the big guys like Tyson where they kill and process thousands per day for probably all or most markets, then there is the USDA inspected (US division of agriculture) where they can sell to retail or or you can have your animals processed by them and sell retail and lastly there are the custom slaughter where you can take your animal in and they can process for you and it's for your own consumption. I don't really want to get into the politics of it, but basically that's about it. A farmer can slaughter and process on sight for own consumption, but the economy of that just doesn't work out unless you have all the stuff and it was free...IE cooler to age, saws and all the rest of the stuff needed.
