Chris B123 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 At a local gunshop I noticed they are selling prepared frozen venison, I was interested until I seen the price, haunch £12 a pound. Is this the going rate or is that expensive?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniel Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 So would you say an average Roe deer would be around the 30LB mark approx £40 gralloched with head and legs off then Is that about the price you guys would get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) So would you say an average Roe deer would be around the 30LB mark approx £40 gralloched with head and legs off thenIs that about the price you guys would get My average roe would be about 15kg,so a wee bit more than 30lb.The two from friday went away today,and they weighed 13.5 each and for that i had £62.10.For decent sized ones it is around the £40 mark.After saying what my average weight is,it could be lower this season as they are quite lean,probably due to the harsh winter.

(DSC1, Wild Game Meat Hygiene Level 2 etc). Unless your game dealer is not too fussy, but around here they are becoming very strict on this.

You can use the "Hunter Exemption" and sell small quantities of venison personally if you have the Large Game Handling Certificate (comes with the DSC1 now). I got £5.00/kg for dice and £7.50/kg for joints and fillet. I only did a couple as I shot three fallow yearling does in a week, 5 for the fortnight. The rest is in my freezer :blink: ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Doesnt suprise me. Seem sensible too.I guess you can still give it to mates? You don't need any accreditations to sell 'small amounts' personally to 'friends and associates' etc (The definitions leave it very vague and open to interpretation....). As Flytie said above you can use the 'Hunter Exemption'. But to put it into the food chain via game dealers, butchers, (pubs/restaurants?) to be sold on, you do need the Large Game Handling accreditation.

Rob G Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I work for a local gamedealer,we are paying £1.80 kg roe,fallow £1.15 kg for muntys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytie Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I work for a local gamedealer,we are paying £1.80 kg roe,fallow £1.15 kg for muntys. Rob, Its a shame you are not nearer. I rang our local GD who is paying £1.00/kg for fallow and £1.25/kg for roe. He no longer gets my trade though. I only rarely get a surplus and have found friends and collegues who will buy my surplus. ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
