I swear by it. The local (ish) abbatoir has a butchers next door (just off J20 M1). Price list is here:

£2.51 kg for a side of a pig. They butcher it as required without further charge.

I had had their meat/mince/sausages from the local farm shop for years so I knew they were good.

The only trouble is I end up with bags of neck in the freezer that I never use. That said I have never quite drummed up the courgae to buy 130lb of beef forequarter.

^Thanks, this is my local butcher too, i have just oredered a chest freezer so think i may be popping in to order some bulk meat:)

Not sure where in Devon they are but these guys look good - I will hopefully be ordering a whole lamb when I get some space in the freezer

I must come back to this in future, I've never thought about buying meat in this way before but if it both saves money in the long term AND helps a local farmer I'll be looking to fill the chest freezer

I've just been sent an email from my local farm shop advertising 1/2 lambs. Wondered if anyone who has bought one recently could give me an idea of what they got and how much they paid!
