If Pickstock’s get PP, it will be a brand new abattoir from the founds upwards

What are firms currently paying for stock bulls? They still better sold live than deadweight?

PP is online if you search for it, the site is currently all green field, and the proposal is just a fair size plant, hoped to be built and open within 12months.

Where to is that then ?
I was told today that Normans old place is going to be used to keep the boners busy at Telford.
Apparently there had been talk of a project Uttoxeter area as well.

Anymore info on that. Uttoxeter isn't that far from Telford. Wouldn't of thought it was worth it.

I thought the same , it's just something said in conversation, by all accounts they are determined to make even more of an impact.

I assume all this talk of Pickstocks is Pickstocks Telford for beef and not Pickstocks Foods for sheep.

The plain cows and bulls will get exported.
The forequarters of the best cows with go to McDonald’s
McDonald’s are strict in what they take
No more the 4 moves
Must be farm assured uk tagged
