I always sell a fair bit of lamb through the spring/summer/autumn direct to individuals, pubs, restaurants and it does very well for me.
But a couple years ago I decided to run a small pedigree Devon suckler herd with the ideal to sell beef boxes direct. Partly selfish reasons as I always wanted a few Devons around the place.
Well today I picked up the first steer from the abattoir in the form of 16 10.2kg boxes plus 10 fillet steaks and 6 rib roast.
I stick an add on Facebook and within 24 hours its all sold, and I could have probably sold another beast such was the demand.
So no sign of veganuary nonsense and people genuinely interested in local quality food.
And the best bit, well steak taste testing starts tomorrow night for us. Rump vs Sirloin vs Fillet!
Happy days!
