Home Kill
The way your animal is handled at the time of slaughter has a huge impact on the quality of your meat. We take pride in providing a no-stress, humane homekill service that delivers better flavour, better texture, and full traceability so you know exactly what’s on your plate.
Animal Welfare Comes First
Our number one priority during the kill is animal welfare. A relaxed, peaceful animal results in tender, high-quality meat. That’s why we come to you in a purpose-built vehicle designed to make the process quick, quiet, and respectful with minimal disruption to the animal.
Better Meat
No trucks, no yards — just a calm animal and a clean kill. That means better, more tender meat.
We hang your carcass for 8-12 days to boost flavour and tenderness, then cut and pack it exactly how you want.

Home kill FAQ's
Have questions about our homekill services? Browse the answers to some of the most common things people want to know.
Yes we do - Our kill truck is on the road 5 days per week covering the greater Waikato area. We travel from Paeroa to Tokoroa, Otorohanga and Te Awamutu, Raglan and most places in between. Our kill truck runs will cover one area each day - e.g. Morrinsville today, Matamata tomorrow etc. As a general rule, we like to have at least 10 animals in the area before the truck comes back into the area, so if you are booking in a beast allow us at least 2 woking weeks.
The short answer is no. Pigs must always be delivered to our factory as our killing truck does not have boiling water facilities for taking off the hair. We kill on a Tuesday at the factory. Pigs must be at the factory before lunch on Tuesday and Thursday or any time on Monday and Wednesday.
Yes we can - however, our slaughterman will only kill sheep if they are also killing a beast at the same time.
Sheep are killed at the factory on a Tuesday. All animals must be at the factory before lunch on Tuesday or you can bring them in anytime during our opening hours on Monday.
Please remember to book your animals in before arriving at the factory.
