Buy one meal get other half price everyone had steak or burger !! Awesome tonight we have had home reared young sheep omg absolutely beautiful i love a bit of young sheep and some left over for sandwiches tomorrow …. They wont take the meat out my diet the twits … home reared bacon in the mornings n all … we will be back for another meal above pub soon as the food was great and cheap and supporting meat like no tomorrow !!

We sometimes go for Sunday dinner at a pub not too far away they have all local meat on the menu I quite like the idea they have of supporting businesses nearby they show where it comes from on the menu

Yes I’ve had the same conversations. Some say lamb is too dear to put on the menu in a place where sheep farming is the main business.
Tasteless chewy meat when I mentioned it no one really knew it was apart from farming folks
I just wonder how many folks it puts off eating it

Just had a heifer butched. 31 month old longhorn, it got a bit carried away feeding it barley so it had fat class 5 written all over it

instead of getting hammered dead for out of spec we are eating it. The fat level is perfect for me! Very tasty

Bet that’s better than any Holstein bred Wagyu. Well marbled looks great

A few friends and family have had some and said how much the marbling is like wagyu. So much for the europ grading

The euro grading is out dated imo . Your meat looks fantastic and not to fat .

Always seems to be huge reluctance to try and improve beef product in this country.

Had a few hereford x bullocks 18/19mnth old that were just reared on barley and a bit silage with the growing bulls. Was a bit concerned what theyd be like hung up, put them through the fat ring at darlo. A few weeks later one of the buyers asked if we had any more as the meat and marbling was spot on.
Nice to hear.

I wouldn’t say so…..when the butchers wanted pot bellied angus and herefords that’s what farmers kept….when they wanted lean double muscled blues that’s what farmers kept….now they want a fatty limmy that’s what farmers are keeping…..I’d say some of these auld farmers are very willing to supply what the market wants

Providing high kill out % is not quality its quantity which the systems wants and that why folk follow it rightly so in many cases , their is nothing in the system that pays for eating quality .. as their is in other countries .
