•Acquisition cost covers both farmed deer purchase price and wild deer stalking or cull fees (e.g. contractor stalker).
•Retail prices shown are guide prices for direct or farm shop sales. Wholesale and game dealer prices will be significantly lower.
•This calculator does not include labour, equipment depreciation, or deer fencing — add these to the acquisition or grazing cost fields as appropriate.
•In the UK, venison for sale requires processing through an approved game handling establishment (AGHE). Factor larder fees into the slaughter cost field.
