Rocket goes to slaughter

The boys and I had an early start this morning as it was time to take Rocket to Scotch Premier in Inverurie for slaughter.

Ideally, we’d have waited for another fortnight or so to get her up to 60kg liveweight but I thought it best to get her in and the meat back just in case we get another foot-and-mouth outbreak with all the restrictions that involves.

Rocket went into the trailer with ease, but unloading her proved somewhat challenging.
