MUDD 374 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Is the meat not more tender if you ride the animal? : )) my welsh cousin told me soo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 160 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yes it must be either stunned and then bled, or shot and then bled. A .410 is ideal for the job. Bang! and then get the knife in and the blood out. Ritual slaughter is only allowed in registered abattoirs otherwise we'd have livestock being killed in the streets like they do in France. Once dressed, you need somewhere fly free to hang it for a good few days to let the carcass firm up before you joint it. Anyone considering doing this should go to the HSA for advice.

The Duncan 802 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Now I'm satisfied that it's legal to home slaughter your own sheep according to HSA, what. The bet method? Someone mentioned .410, but what cartridge, and where to put the muzzle? Would a .22lr sub be as effective? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 As close to the fore head as you can. If its gona be a reg occurrence , invest in a bolt gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'd use a .22 before a 410 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Duncan 802 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 It won't be a common occurence - friends have asked me to help them out. .22 with subsonic round shouldn't disturb the remaining flock too much either. Cheers Duncan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Why you gona take pot shots at them in the field? Lol Mate remove it to a place put the way , or in a barn. Needs to be up close and personal, also you can't do it as a fav, needs to be your own beasts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 48,096 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 If you use a .22 then shoot it behind the ear, don't go for the front of the head.......take my word for it !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Duncan If I was doing it, id want the animal a lot more contained than a field. Can they not go to the abotoir? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
