seanygonzo 0 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 hello guys, am thinking of moving across into pheasant farming, (to be then sold on for shoots) was wondering if any of you guys purchase farm reared pheaasants for your shoots? and if so what the going rate per pheasant is? hope this is not to private a question, or for that matter that i am causing any offence by asking it. Am just trying to weigh up the financial viability of it all!! thanks to all in advance, your help ould be much appreciated!! sean. Quote Link to post
Jebus 3 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 It's dependant on the breed of the pheasant but an average sort of price is £2.50. But you can buy day old poults and 6 week old poults. Quote Link to post

salukiwhippet 6 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Putting out mature birds pre-shoot is immoral and very possibly illegal. No market there chap, sorry!! James Quote Link to post

Mate no offence but your complete lack of knowledge means you are better off saving your money because you won't make this work. Quote Link to post
