Most of our food comes directly from the abasto.. A lot of the food produced around Lakeside like in Sayula is exported to the US Pork,beef, goat, sheep yearlings, chicken, fish,some veg,some fruit other than berries, dairy that's just some that would be produced in this area is what else. You know that when you see the carcasses arriving in the back of a pick up truck or hearing the squealing at the abattoir beside Soriana and shop locally at a lot of the vendors in Chapala,especially in the mercado and the butchers.

Mrs. Rupert Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Not yet, Mainecoons. Just wait- it will be horrible right through August. It has been slow. This will hit Mexico just like Italy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one expat case reported, but my dr. said it was false. We just entering stage 2 in Mexico. Our married gardener and housecleaner share a house full of 12 people. A perfect storm is brewing.

CHILLIN Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 The Chapala Municipal slaughterhouse is very small. There is just isn't enough year round pasture land for raising livestock. The Chapala facility is mainly food inspection. The carcass has to be stamped for sale to the public. And yes, I have seen a couple old horses go through there.

HoneyBee Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Chillin I have seen many trailers loaded with cattle being unloaded then processed at this facility. You may want to peek threw the gates (if your stomach is strong enough). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to see an example of a real packing house, with by railway stocking pens. It took up over 200 acres and is now being converted for public parking. https://www.davidmurrayarchitect.ca/canada-packers-smoke-stack/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHILLIN Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Look, I have lived here a long time. When we first moved her we had a mostly blind deaf dog, who had panic attacks if she couldn' t sense us around. So I would stay with her in the car and read books. At Soriana, the only spot with any shade, looks directly into the slaughterhouse. After our dog died, at 16.5 years, I kept up the habit There is another one closer to Guadalajara which is bigger than that one because they offering stress free killing. Not to save money, but some ranchers believe that livestock can take on a adrenaline taste if they are stressed out. There is no commercial level meat production here, what is produced here is for personal/family consumption and for local carnecerias. Have you seen the meat truck guy? He leaves the slaughterhouse in his white stake panelled truck, with various cuts hanging off the side, swinging in the wind. He goes around the Colonias selling cuts of meat. Do you live in that Colonia? I always that it seemed nice, friendly and family orientated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyBee Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 happyjillin I was responding to Chillin. Chillin, I live in the Cascada/Santa Maria area. The butcher I use gets his meat from the Chapala place. Yes you have to have a solid stomach when you watch them deliver and to be safe I have a tendency to cook my meat for a long time.

I know you were. I was just trying to get back on topic like you. There are 4 butchers in and around the Chapala mercado and many more around town. This one is at the north west outside corner of the mercado and I bought the leg and loin of this goat carcass and one can generally see a half hog carcass hanging out front. Great way to select your meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
