Man ....Karoo meat rocks. That's a well known fact.

Quality employment.

In the old days the butcher (single owner type) would take on a single appy and teach him all the tricks of the trade, and the bloke wouldn't get anywhere near the cutting board unless the boss was happy with his skill. But it's considered unskilled labour, so any Tom or his dog can apply - and anybody gets pushed into the butchery - the small butchers need to take people who will accept low paychecks or they can't compete with the big players (Shoprite et al) who don't give a crap either way.

That's my theory anyways.

Woolies has never skipped on quality though ... but yes, the prices are frightening.

My grandfather was a butcher. A very good one must I say. He won an award.

I'm not mad about wild game meat. Prefer beef, lamb/mutton, pork etc. The usuals.

My point exactly. Just to clarify - when I say old days I'm not talking about 50+ years ago ... as recently as maybe 15 years ago - when most people would go to the local cafe for bread and milk, and the local butcher for meat. Your nearest mall was a drive away, and you had one Checkers/Pick n Pay per town.

Nowadays you open your door, throw a brick ... and it will likely bounce off 3 shopping malls before hitting the ground. Small operators barely stand a chance. Same with quality. All about quantity these days.
