The Duncan 802 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Is it legal to slaughter your own sheep for your own consumption at home? I'm assuming it is, but there are some crazy laws in this beloved country of ours ! Please, if you don't know don't post All the best Duncan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patterdalejoel 669 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 can do it yourself but cannot sell meat, only use for your consumption alone, and im guessing family. obviously all cruelty laws etc would have to be adhered to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt 160 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yes it is legal, providing the meat is for the use of you and your direct family. Obviously cruelty laws need to be thought about, and if it's more than a year old (has cut teeth) then SRM comes in. Contact the Humane Slaughter Association for good information and advice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
