Animals get stressed when they are on their own, so leave a mate with them for company. Please have animals handy, so the process can happen in a timely manner.

If you would like any tongues, tails, livers etc, then please let the slaughterman know and he will put them aside.

You can specify the exact cuts you would like on the processing form, provided the animal yields enough meat to fulfil all of your requests.

Beef: 7 days

Sheep: 3-7 days

Pork: 3-7 days
