I really can't see how that's anything other than a favour, to be honest

That’s right. £20 to cut up a roe. He charges the same prices to cut up my sheep. £15 for a lamb and £20 for a a hogget or mutton. I am conscious that I am getting a good deal. He’s old school and really knows his stuff. He’s also a stalker himself... I just hope he’s not on this forum as he might read this thread and start charging me more!
Roe cut up and packed here is around £30 but there east to do at home if you have a vac pack and a butchers block or stainless table
I can next time I get one done but it’s basically trimmed fillets, dice from neck and shoulders or thst any trim minced and one rear haunch whole boned and one cut into small steaks

I wish I had taken a photo of the haunch (boned and rolled) that he prepared and which I roasted at Easter. It was a work of art! Perfectly symmetrical and it retained its shape as it cooked. Here’s a photo of a leg of lamb he cut up for me and a pack of venison mince - both now frozen.
On fb there’s a chap in new forest who has a butchers shop and from memory is £35 to process and pack a roe, £70 fallow and £85 red hind bit I’ll try look and find his prices.
Roe is easy and can be cut up in 10-15 mins but packing takes a bit of time but not sure I’d want charge £85 for a red as that is lot of work

Interesting thread. Normally we would do our own butchering and I do mean butchering - think of the Texas Chain Saw Massacre, only worse but the outcome is always for our own table or very occasionally a present to someone special. In January I was lucky enough to shoot two Fallow on an outing so we decided to have one done professionally and the other in our kitchen. Because of C19 and the difficulty actually bringing deer back to NI from our usual scottish haunts it has been a couple of years since we butchered one so we had kinda forgotten just how much there is to it. I would reckon between skinning, butchering and vacuum bagging it was a good couple of hours to produce a pretty fair outcome. Fortunately Mrs FB loves doing it and approaches the job like a surgeon, as do I, only in my case it is a Tree Surgeon! Neither of us however enjoy the inevitable mess and the sterilising process of everything afterwards.
Sooo two days later we picked up the professional job and were able to compare it against our own. To be fair the butcher’s job could only be described as spectacular with everything weighed and clearly labelled ready for the freezer. Our humble effort paled by comparison but was done to a standard we are both entirely happy with. The butcher charged £40 including burgers which when compared with our efforts was a steal! However, pure costs aside, as always we particularly enjoyed our own little “Glen to table” efforts and took great satisfaction from it and that you cannot put a price on.

Next time you're over you could drop your deer off with me in Angus to do if you'd like? I can turn them around in a day or so and store until you're ready. Just a thought, but the offer's there
The last fallow I cut up yielded 40 individual packs of meat. There's a couple of hours work there just in the vac packing, weighing and labelling if it's being done to a high standard of presentation.
If you allow another hour for cleaning down at the end, washing all utensils, cleaning and sanitising work surfaces, floors etc etc, then that's 3 hours work before even thinking about how long it might take to skin and butcher the deer in the first place.
