from countryside alliance update, winter 2010, page 14,

Roe....122p/lb
Fallow....112/lb
Muntjac....72p/lb

Maybe I had a late night, but if we times these by 2.2 to get into pence/kg

roe...268p/kg
Fallow...246p/kg
muntjac....158p/kg

These are meant to be average dealer price paid in fur...I get between 175p and 190p essex/suffolk, so some one is getting an awful lot more to bring up the average, or am I being shafted??
 
The problem with these things is that people end up comparing apples with oranges. You can already see that some talk in kg, some in lb. Some will be selling 500 deer to a major dealer, some selling two to the village butcher. Some will be chest shot wild deer, some head shot park deer. Some will be in skin, some skinned. Having said that, the roe price looks about right, the fallow a little high, I think i'm getting £2.25/kg at present but the muntjac price looks very high as many buyers don't want them so only offer 50p/kg. Alot of muntjac are shot by 'keepers so dealers may do deals based on taking all of the estates produce. JC
