Due to a cattle shortage country-wide in 2009, it was with the hopes of bridging the meat gap, that we opened our pork section.
Being a small operation, we would only slaughter 20 to 30 porkers a day, but as demand grew and over time, we secured a license to slaughter 70 head per day.
​
As 2014 drew to a close, we had expanded our pork abattoir, and with that a license which allowed us to slaughter 150 head per day. We currently have cold-room space to accommodate 70 porkers and blast-freezer space which can take up to 120 porkers at any one time.
​
We take great care in ensuring our pigs are well looked after from the time they arrive at Koala Park Butchery to the time they are slaughtered. From all the methods used to stun, and slaughter pigs, we choose to use electric currents to stun the pig, then immediately after, it is bled out to finish the process. We believe this is by far the most humane way of slaughtering our porkers, and guarantees our meat quality is of the highest standard by the time it reaches our customers.

Our transport fleet services over 35 towns, which requires vehicles that are capable of managing orders of all sizes. Our refrigerated vans and trailers help to keep our meat as fresh as possible, ensuring orders are kept to the highest quality.
​
We have 40 trucks, 17 pick-up trucks and 14 tractors, each fulfilling an integral role in our day to day operations. Our biggest truck and trailer can accommodate 80 cattle over two floors of trailer space, while our average trailers can transport approximately 25 head of cattle.

Every vehicle has been fitted with a live tracker, so we can pin-point any vehicle, at any time, within a few meters of its position, ensuring our customers know exactly where their order is.
