  • Do you have EFTPOS?

    Yes we do! We do NOT accept credit cards but eftpos is welcome.

    We do not have paywave either so we cannot accept phone payments in the shop.

  • Once you have processed my meat can I sell it?

    No. It is against the law for you to sell your meat once we have processed it.

  • How much meat will I get from my animal?

    This is an interesting question and one that there is no straight forward answer to. The amount of meat off a beast once processed can vary a great deal due to the time of year and condition of the animal when slaughtered.

    As a very general rule - a dead cow will weigh approx half that of the live weight and you will receive back between 60-70% in meat and bones.

  • How long until I get the meat back?

    Generally for cattle the process takes 8 days from killing until your meat is ready. Your animal is hung for 6 days, cut up on the 7th and delivered back on the 8th day.

    If you have a specific deadline or date in mind please let us know when you are booking it in. Please remember that we need to have at least 10 cows in your area before we will come to your area so make sure you allow us at least 2 working weeks.

    Pigs and sheep have different processing times depending on what you are wanting to have done so check with one of our friendly staff when booking in your animal.

  • Can you process goats, pigs or deer I have killed when hunting?

    Absolutely - just give us a call to let us know what you have before bringing it in.

    Minimum 5kg of MEAT is required
