I produce or try to produce what the market wants. I’ve looked at what sells the best and set to work to breed what the demand is for.
You have produced something then tried to alter the market for what you have to sell.
I don’t see any other way to look at it.
You have done it the other way around.
I have invested quite a lot in breeding cattle and there’s a lot of other folks have too.
So no there isn’t a reluctance to improve beef in this country the answer is actually the opposite
No idea what you are talking about, do you have an example of his work ?

Im not sure what you are trying to achieve by thisYou have no idea what other farmers are up to do you …..
You say Limousin beef isn’t as good point out all the bad things about Limousin cattle (which I’ve actually agreed with you on most of them) then get your knickers in a twist on here when someone mentions breeds which on the whole make less

I'd hazard a guess @Henarar was being somewhat facetious/tongue in cheek. I for one welcome variety, be a boring old world if we all farmed the same things! If it came to that we may as well call ourselves Yanks, or even worse, Antipodeans

Absolutely not.
Yep variety is the spice of life and the good thing about the market system is there is someone for most anything on offer and long may it stay that way, once they have us all nailed down producing the same thing to the same size and the same spec and integrate it all in to their system then they will screw us to the last penny and the job will be lost.I'd hazard a guess @Henarar was being somewhat facetious/tongue in cheek.

Ive often thought its a wonder the super markets have not forced us all down the route of all producing a very similar product ….. i think they have cut us alot of slack on that subject …Yep variety is the spice of life and the good thing about the market system is there is someone for most anything on offer and long may it stay that way, once they have us all nailed down producing the same thing to the same size and the same spec and integrate it all in to their system then they will screw us to the last penny and the job will be lost.

they try to but are their own worst enemy, soon as something is a little cheaper cos its "out of spec" they buy it anyway, same with non RT and so on, they can't help themselves
