Meat Processing Plant

Here at Downfield Farm, we offer private animal processing for sheep, goats, and farmed deer, and our reputable humane abattoir is something we take great pride in. We believe that stress-free meat is tasty meat. Furthermore, we are also Scotland’s only field to fork venison farm, abattoir, and meat processing facility. So as to provide quality venison meat we handle all processing in our custom-built processing plant which includes a private butchery service.

We will contact you on a Tuesday afternoon/evening following the Meat Hygiene inspection with details of your weights and any vet comments.  We’ll need some instructions from you on the preferred processing. A Downfield representative will be happy to walk you through your cutting instructions to best suit your needs. If you have any comments or questions, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Once booked in and processed, we will contact you for your meat collection. All butchered meat is vacuum packed, labelled, and boxed for you. Or if you are collecting a whole carcass it will be wrapped in mutton cloth.  Further, if you would like us to arrange for your meat to be delivered elsewhere in the UK, this can be organised. We work with an overnight courier and package accordingly for an additional fee.
