It's a cut throat job this meat business....we moan we don't get enough for our produce but I certainly wouldn't want to run an abattoir and try and sell the stuff myself
He is going into liquidation, any limited company wanting to wind up has to do this it is different to insolvency. I'm not saying whether everyone will be squared up or not,I don't know, and on paper he lost money the last two years but he hasn't gone bust
As a farmer and meat wholesaler I see things from both sides. Independent abattoirs that have to compete with supermarkets for stock then have to sell the meat to butchers/ farm shops/ depots and worst case scenario Smithfield market are really struggling with spiralling costs and a declining customer base. I know as a farmer I want as much for my stock but without competition in the market place the supermarkets will be in total control. We've seen recently Dawn taking over Dunbia which just means less buyers.He is going into liquidation, any limited company wanting to wind up has to do this it is different to insolvency.

Is that because old larry cant hawk polish beef in so cheap with the weaker pound.Aye they are in such high demand because the demand for Mince is OFF the scale, thus why Fri steers are now in such high demand as well and every slaughterhouse and his dog is chasing them.
