The question is, are the oak trees out there to supply this current demand?? I’ve heard everyone’s growing them an producing them slowly to meet the predicted trade bonanza that’s looming, but will it happen???🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
Our farm is covered in the barsteward things. Free too a good home but I take no responsibility for any radical council members coming for blood. Must be replaced by beech or sycamore.

It sounds like @Hfd Cattle has some sort of Processor Contract, which is surely undermining the rest of us that have oak trees. :censored:

....I've answered every pm and given the contact details ..... am amazed at how many are interested !

.....just for the more sceptical ones ....we sent off 4 green slabs to Oxford and banked £2000 + vat ......all I had to do was load them .

Anyway to keep on thread ...... is there a particular reason that bulls are so much in demand ?
As @Werzle said earlier they seem to be wanted over steers / heifers .
