Hope they went back to butcher and complained too.Parents had steaks from the local butcher last week and left 3/4 of it, they said it was worse than a leather boot and didn’t even bring it down for the dogs as they didn’t want the dogs to sufferI know the slaughter house the butcher gets from does a large amount of cull cows
If nobody complains. Nothing will change

I do box lambs, kill and cut has gone up to £50. Admittedly vacuum packed and they do a good job, but £15 increase in 12 months is hard to swallow. Need to explore other options next year or we’ll just run the lambs on a bit heavier and stick them all in market.

Are culls sold last up country, then? Generally, lamb sellers are fretting to have the culls and breeders sold, and then it's their turn.
