yes, it bides thinking about, store the beef for them.
They would have to buy it up front really. The problem would come with
delivery/collection. I tend to drive a maximum of about 30 miles to
dispose of all a bullock, and that is on a bad day, normally I will do
about six milees. If we have people coming for a couple of pounds or
worse still expecting me to deliver it, you are talking about using a
couple of pounds worth of fuel for a couple of pounds worth of meat.
I would prefer to encourage them to put a freezer in of their own, but
with small houses this can be a bit daunting for people.

It's a co-op.

They pay in 5/week to co-own a bullock and get X lbs of meat a month.

How much of the £5 is for the delivery charge?

From my point of view I would have no problem with the concept of part
owning a bullock for £260pa dependent upon how much meat I got from it -
- - and if Jim would deliver g. It may put his mileage up a bit
though.
