Beef / Lamb & Pig Price Tracker

Can you take some pictures of the meat shelves in your local one?
I will take some of ours...their meat shelves are exceptional in ours

Just been into my local morrisons store, every shelve/ fridge is packed with goods except for the fresh meat section!

NO lamb.
Very little pork.
About two roasting joints of beef and about 20 steaks on the shelve ( which looked sh!t ) and that was it!

Stood there for a couple of minutes and no end of people looked at the lamb/beef sections in that time, saw there was nothing there and then walked off!

That’s not good. Do you think they are weaning folk off red meat?

I can’t manage to do it yet

I think they are trying to wean them off meat all together, hardly any chicken products either!

Didn't think to take any but not sure what taking pics of empty shelves will achieve

I find it extremely hard to believe if you go into our local Morrison’s I’ve never seen such a wide variety of selection...even got some pigs trotters for the dog, ox tails and lamb shanks for my slow cooker

I suppose it will make it cheaper for them to buy it at our end. Method in their madness

Its true.

Tesco however the other day the shelves were full of meat.

Seeing how Morrison’s has its own abattoirs unlike the other supermarkets I find it hard to believe they aren’t stocking the products

Well they aren't and its been going on for months but seems to be getting worse!

There was NO lamb to be had and we are in prime lamb selling season!

No doubt they will come out with some excuse but its the same every time you go into the store and doesn't matter what day of week/ time that is.

Well lucky you but the table valuations this side of the bridge have been going for years and the compensation is rubbish ( around £850 for a suckler cow the last time I looked )

It’s not lucky for me as I’m a beef farmer as you well know.

My point was when I went down I got £1100 and the dairy farm next door got £9k. This is why the Tb job if fudged for the country.

Farmers are their own worst enemy instead of sticking together we attack each other.
