[QUOTE="sealgair, post: 2022224, member: 114384"] We do the initial processing of the animal, we gralloch (the gaelic word for gut) on the hill, then take the carcass back to a processing larder, generally on the horse or if it's too wet with an ATV. We then take off the head, lower legs, and rest of the insides in the larder but leave the carcass in the skin. They are then either sold to a game dealer - who collects them from our chiller and processes them for sale either to restaurants or the public, or we butcher it ourselves (if the stalker is qualified to) and the clients / local people / tourists buy the meat direct from the estate. It's a really important revenue stream for estates, however with COVID we have seen the price paid by the game dealer cut from about £1.45 to £0.60 per pound... which is not at all helpful. It's leading more places to look at doing full processing themselves and selling it locally - which I think is great. [/QUOTE]
