If you are selling it in the fur then you do not have to be a registered food business and I'd suggest you sell it at game dealer rates which are currently about £2.80 - 3.00 per kg. If you are selling it skinned, then you must be a registered food business and I'd add on at least £10-15 for your time skinning and wrapping as well as your waste disposal.

OK my Problem is I am buying it a Game Dealer rates on my shoot we pay for carcasses.. which until not I buy and my family eat. but when the freezer gets a little full I wondered what to do . I don't like shooting and not taking what I shoot.. but guess there is not much point me taking it away if I am not going to eat it my self.. as I have to bring it home clean up motor/storagebox/hang it/drive it to and from the ground to the butcher. sad but maybe easier letting the syndic leader deal with it direct to game dealer.. I was thinking a butch would pay more than a game dealer as he would have to by it from them..
when you say wrapping what do you mean ?

Spoke to 2 locally, quoted £2.25 @ first & a fraction more at the other for Fallow, me thinks i keep them at that rate, taking the Michael if you ask me.

MS, I'm pretty sure you still have to be registered even if you sell in the skin.
I sell all my deer to the game dealer, i did inquire with one butcher but he wouldn't take it in the skin.

I always try to keep some joints at home in the freezer for those unforeseen times when a Lump of Venison at the right time pays massive dividends ie negotiating a new permission with farmers etc or just keeping existing contacts happy especially around Xmas time.

I have come across this, once had more than I could handle myself and asked local butcher if he could help by butchering for me, apparently he was not allowed to have deer in the skin on his premises so it was jackets off.
personally I like to hang the Carcase in the skin to age for 14 days but can only do 2 at a time.

Richard,
No, not if you sell directly to the final consumer or to local retailers that directly supply the final consumer such as a local butcher. However, there are not many butchers these days that have the facilities to deal with game in fur or feather which cannot be stored with skinned or plucked. It's a bit of a loophole really, but one that does exist!
MS
having just done my dsc1 exam I can tell you the following:
If selling in the skin aka gralloched. you do not have to register. the second you chop it up or skin it you need to be registered, which then is a bit of a pain.(and a lot of extra hassle for little return)
just sell it to the game dealer, same price less hassle and no problem to unload a few more. just getting them there is the problem.

Well I'm surprised you passed! If you sell deer in fur to a AGHE you Must be a registered food business!

I get £1.10 a lb so about £2.42 a kg for fallow or roe. It had always been £1.00 a lb for as long as I can remember. Really hasn't moved with inflation at all.
