Isn’t it a funny old world. Apparently turkeys have never been in such demand from butchers with more people eating at home for Christmas. Doesn’t it go to show something is not quite right with the whole meat industry. We are told how disastrous it would be with the catering trade being knocked for six yet trades have held up.

People still have to eat!!!
The catering trade often buy foreign meat as we know, and the question is rarely asked "where is this from"
When you go to a restaurant, how often do you get given a portion of something and then get the chance to go back for second helpings foc?
With a family mealtime it's usually a free for all here, take as much as you want, usually with some leftovers. So probably get through a lot more meat than going to a restaurant.
My point being, people want British and are buying a bigger volume per head than what the catering trade probably would. Correct me if I'm wrong!

I disagree Frank. Me thinks price will be very strong all the way through including January. I suspect February will be very very strong, - that period inbetween before the spring tegs come out......
These lambs numbers are about to dry up big time until mid march.....
I agree more people eating at home has been better than people eating out.

Absolutely! I read somewhere that there were millions more mouths to feed in the UK this winter too, with very few going abroad for holidays.

Much stricter portion control in a restaurant,that’s their profit you are eating!!
Not devastated but i will always wonder what a no deal would have been like and how high the beef price would have been. Sheep trade will get dearer and dearer now until the new season lambs start coming forward. The store lamb gamblers win again

was there ever a doubt ?
no way was the amount of confidence in stores just down to farmer buyers gambling with too much cash / grass heating the trade , Contract buyers with links well up in the food chain is what pushed it , Meat trade Procurement is a complicated animal !
Been past a local butchers this morning never seen such a big q, with people not allowed to see so many families it bound to put meat sales up.....maybe less big joints but lot more smaller joints has more individual familys have to stay together than join a family.
