Pizzles

[Zstalker]

Hoping someone with more Pizzle experience than myself (lol) can advise how they present the Pizzles to the game dealer? Do you leave it attached to the carcass or do you hang them separately?

Do the nuts need to go as well?

At the moment I just dispose of them but I hear the Chinese are keen on them (and deer tails).

Cheers

I have seen it done by making two cuts through the pelvis and lifting the whole pizzle assembly and associated pipework out with the small sliver of pelvic bone attached.
That was how the buyer wanted them.

Haven't actually done it myself, I hasten to add, so my description might not be quite right.

And did they remove the whole unit from the carcass at that point and then just hang separately?

I guess bladder goes with anus and rectum?

Nuts not required - as VSS states, the Aitch bone is cut twice - either side of where the pizzle joins the aitch bone.

anus/rectum and bladder not included and discarded at this point, Pizzle/aitchbone usually left hanging on chest spreader when carcass presented for game dealer.

Unbelievable what people want to eat, but if they want it then I'll try supply it!

What will they be paying for them. The head cutter at Rigby's used to bring a couple of dried ones out for Chip as he was with me dropping off pigeons. They were gone by the time we got home lol

Iv not asked yet, but anything is better than nothing I guess!

Many an estate stalker is making a good bit on the side for these and the Chinese Community do like real folding currency !

That's about it bone must be left attached.

Don't know what they are paying now but was getting a fiver a good number of years ago.
Tails £3 to £3.75 each
Pluck £1
Tongue £1
Sinews 80p per lb
Tusks up to £7 per pair depending on quality

Antler hard £2.50 per pound
Antler in velvet price varied but up to £11 per lb.
These prices are well out of date thirty years at least though some things have changed there is no longer a market for tusks, nor do I know of any dealer buying tongues these days, nor antler in.velvet but there may be.
Up to £20 a KG can be achieved for cast Antler these days Antler cut from a beast a bit less.

A Pro stalker can still do OK from byproducts.

Dried slots seem to be very popular at the moment . I have been giving fresh and frozen slots to my dogs a good while , indeed I think it very much aids the dogs on a track

Any idea what the tails and sinews were used for?

My wife bought a dried cow's ear as a treat for my dog recently, about £2.

Took him a while to chew it all up and worked like a boresnake on his guts, all the hair came out in a clump a few days later. Definitely made me think that dried fallow ears would be a good treat to keep in future and possibly a good market for them.

 

[Donkey Basher]

Local dealer won’t take the carcass with them on as he has to pay more for it because of extra weight!
