Today at work I.....

Today at work.....

I stood on a market stall and sold 200 packs of venison. That's about 6 fallow.
There seems to be an almost insatiable demand for the stuff, especially burgers and sausages. I'd sold over 35kg of burgers and sausages by midday!

I don't being a "Fred in a shed" (@south-nofolk-stalker) for a few days if I can shift that much butchered venison at one event.
How many of those were from behind the wire?
 
Is that relevant?
Some were wild, some were park.
If I had access to the high numbers of wild deer that there are in some parts of the country, I would not have a park herd. But there are no wild deer anywhere near here.
Remember I am fluent in the way of farming, work for less than minimum wage and pay no tax 😂😂😂

I can earn more and pay more tax by swinging my left foot from under the covers and without touching a knife 😂😂

Carry you on, busting a gut for bugger all and I’ll carry on aiming to fully retire at 60

I'll be honest with you Lee, I'm just not interested in earning more. Money doesn't drive me. Enjoying myself is worth way more than that.
I enjoy having my own herd of deer.
I enjoy stalking.
I enjoy butchery.
I enjoy putting a quality product in front of discerning customers.
I enjoy talking to people about deer and venison.

Provided it makes enough to pay its way then I'm very happy. No need for more than that.

I served 106 customers today, with an average spend of £14. So not big money, but so worth doing for many other reasons.

All of which are of absolutely zero interest to me!

@VSS I was quite happy me being me and you being you and you tagged me into a pointless post.

So what you earned £1400 at an event, take all your costs out and a wage and guess what no money eared and payed no tax and I’m guessing all your customers payed in lovely crispy notes too 👌🤐

No surprise here VSS that you had a good day, the pics you put up recently of some of your butchery produce
We’re top drawer 👍
 
Mowed the lawn….and went stalking. And shot a cull buck.. and dropped off one of the kids at a bday party, did the dishes. Bought a new garden table. Bought spray paint for the Hilux to cover rust, painted the Hilux!, Fed the rabbits, fed the cat, fed the dogs, watered the kitchen garden, cleaned the car, strimmed, BBQ’d, annoyed the wife, went shopping, picked up a prescription, talked to farmer about getting neighbours stalking ground as well, bought lottery ticket, won £10 on a scratch card, turned off the radio because euro vision was playing. Opened a beer, and another 😂
 
Last couple weeks at work, new concrete slab for timber garage, concrete for racking system, drainage investigation into buried manhole and replacement at existing ground level, a culvert repair with sleeper retention and extended steels to form barrier for customer to pass with horse and carriage. Too much on the go just now hunting has to be on back burner until caught up with the back log from wet weather and shite modern vans breaking down.
