Current carcass prices per kg?

[MCC1508]

Can anyone advise the current prices game dealers pay for venison?

 

[SussexSteve]

Depends what species, how many, location and quality of carcasses i think

 

[Leec6.5]

£1.80/kg for Red minus deductions
£2.50/kg for Roe minis deductions

That’s collected.

Personally, my advices, stop worrying about the price and just shoot the bloody things!

If everybody did that, they wouldn’t be a dear problem.

Let’s say - Muntjac, Roe and Fallow in Essex

Delivered out of skin

Fair comment haha! It’s my first time selling so just want a rough gauge.

Don't know it your part of the country but most Game Dealers won't buy out of skin.

Are you a registered food business? If not you can’t legally sell out of skin.

 

[stalker.308]

Butchers always want out of skin, which as above you’d need to register as a food business with your local council, but registered to sell out of skin. This will require good facilities with separate processing sections etc and a haccp in place.

Price wise, start at whatever you get/want per kg skin on, increase to cover the time it takes to skin, proper disposal of skin and likely delivery cost and time to deliver.

None of the above is impossible just takes a little time and space.

 

[jb7x57]

£1-20 kg in Scotland at the moment Fallow sika red

 

[lochty]

£1.40 for fallow, but the game dealer always finds something to reduce the price.

Not true at all. I've had 2 separate premises approved with nothing more than a chiller in a shed / barn and a domestic kitchen. HACCP is required but there are various templates knocking around on here that members have kindly shared.

Are you skinning in your kitchen where you also process your skinned animal, i.e. one room?

I skin next to my chiller, butcher in the kitchen. I'm covered for either whole to game dealer, skin off to farm shops / butchers or processing into primary cuts and mince.
