Gidday
Me name is Jack and I am just an old rough country Kiwi boy from down under.
We live on a few acres almost dead centre to the little village of Hampden on the coast of Otago, New Zealand.
Being old, means my income is the old aged pension so have to grow as much veges as we can to eat. Milk a house cow, and kill me own meat.

Shereen, we actually look down the coast a litle bit and can see the Moeraki boulders from out house . Next time out here cann in for a couppa or couple a nights or something.
Danny, I kill me own sheep, like with a knife and both arteries with one stroke is as humane as you can get it. Like Kosha actually. And that is a damned side more humane than a porr animal going through the freezeing works with all that stree. And the proof of that is in the eating, far better flavour and tenderness than super marcket meat I assure you.
Jack, my Fiona's bro lives in N. Island, in Fielding. I have never been but would love to travel some day.
Back when small farmers in rural Ireland used to slaughter their own animals for the pot, that was the way it was done. No days or hours of terror for the animal. Short and swift, with minimal suffering.
There are just too many Health and Safety rules here in the UK that are backfiring all the time compared with the old ways. I am sure that many regulations are well meant to protect humans from bad and dangerous food, but they seem to be invented by people who work in big glass offices and who have never worked the land never mind seen an animal been put through the abattoir experience.
Unnatural.
Never knowingly underfed
