Notes
- •Dressing percentage varies by species, sex, age, and condition. Values shown are typical averages for field-dressed deer in good condition.
- •Venison is leaner than most farmed meat — expect less fat waste and a higher ratio of prime cuts to total carcass weight compared to livestock.
- •Prices shown are retail guide prices for direct sales or farm shop. Wholesale and game dealer prices will be lower.
- •In the UK, venison for sale must be processed through an approved game handling establishment (AGHE) or registered food business.
