A mobile home kill and wild game butchery service based at 200 Hayes Street in Timaru Port, and a locally owned South Canterbury business. It uses a purpose-built mobile abattoir to slaughter beef, sheep, venison and wild game on the farm or property, and then takes the meat away in a hygienic chiller truck. It also processes wild game such as venison, wild pig, tahr and chamois, and accepts drop-off for wild game or for animals that have been slaughtered at home. Its work includes custom cuts, aged meat, handmade small goods such as sausages and salami, hand-linked sausages, and vacuum packing.
Customers say the process is smooth from the day the team arrives at the farm until the meat is collected, and that the team is fast, efficient and easy to deal with. One customer praises the sausages made from an old ram, and another says the quality is exceptional. The business asks customers to book a couple of weeks ahead, as there is a wait list. Invoices are emailed when goods are ready, with about two weeks' turnaround, and payment is due on or before pick-up. Storage fees may apply to orders that are not collected promptly. Our pick in Timaru for on-farm home kill.
