    Careful Anniefish,

    Your seriously in danger of using common sense and logic - a rare commodity these days!

    I wholeheartedly agree with you!

    That is why I really get excited about a new industry of mobile butchers who turn up to your property with a refrigerated trailer cool room - kill the beast/s, dressers them out and hangs them. They then leave and come back whenever your ageing requirement is met and then butcher the carcase for you, all on your own property. Pretty cool I think.
    Cheers!

    FYI,

    A source of home slaughter info:

    http://www.rurallaw.org.au/handbook/xml/ch04s09s10.php
    Slaughtering livestock on the farm

    The Meat Industry Act does not apply to animals slaughtered on a farm providing:
    • it is for consumption on the farm and is not for sale
    • it is not slaughtered for use in the preparation of food for sale
    • it is not removed from the farm.
    Cheers!
