Agree.Be hard to get anyone for anything less, unless they are totally useless or have a record

Totally agree , BUT: europe still has the cap (cheap food policy) we are always going to be competing against that , despite our gov cutting ag support , or at least the big charities / gov quangos are going to hoover up a big proportion of whats on offer rather than putting food on the tableTime is standing still for sheep. The fact they ain’t £200 each in 2022 is ridiculous
Facebook page for butchers , they all moaning they cant sell a damned thing at the moment … scaryClean although not as far back as the bulls would be less money as well lot of resistance from the buyers worrying times coming
Was talking too one of the butchers in the village last week. I said you must be minting it with the size of the queue most days. He said it’s alright but it’s very obvious people are starting too rein in the spending. Selling a lot more mince per week than the last couple of years. I said you’re minting it on pork though. He pulled a face, “if the processors are shafting you for the pigs, and they’ve hardly dropped the price too me, something funny is happening in the middle!” Then he was saying that his supplier is wanting too put pork up “because they are getting dearer!”Facebook page for butchers , they all moaning they cant sell a damned thing at the moment … scary

I asked how lamb was moving and he says he can only sell small lambs. People don’t want too pay for big lamb joints. He showed me a gorgeous pair of leg steaks in the chiller. Proper lamb steaks. He’d tried selling them too 3 people that morning and they had all baulked at the price. Cut them 1/2 inch thinner and can sell them fast as you like but he doesn’t like cutting lamb that thin. Says you can ruin it too easy and then people blame the meat and won’t buy it for weeks
I said you want too get too Leek for your pigs and he said (which I have too see the point of) “I haven’t a clue what a good animal looks like on the hoof, I can walk down a cold store line and pick all the best bodies. But put the skin on and I’m totally lost.”Sounds like they want to get to a market one day per week and buy what they need. Be better all around

He does, but I’m not running too leek every week for a pen of pigs, 2 pens of lambs and a heifer! Then cart them off down too the abattoir?! I can see me running about for nothing…He needs a friendly farmer
Guth will do itHe does, but I’m not running too leek every week for a pen of pigs, 2 pens of lambs and a heifer! Then cart them off down too the abattoir?! I can see me running about for nothing…
It wouldn’t be so bad if the money actually went too the hospital! But it is all contracted out to parking firms who just screw you at every turn!Pay to park at a hospital ! Disgusting that , tax payers should park free.
It’s the sort of job that would suit a semi retired farmer with his motor & trailer.Guth will do it
Can't understand why they don't get the pigs from the mart then and have them delivered in halves , and if they can't sell all the cuts just bin em and they would still be in pocket with the pittance they sell for at market!Was talking too one of the butchers in the village last week.

O flop ....that's a tad awkwardThe good news today is that if hoggs have lost teeth but the new ones haven’t broken the skin they are still classed as lambs teeth. The bad news on the way home got a phone call to say that 50 acres I pay nothing for has been sold today (I didn’t know it was on the market) and the new owner wants me out by the end of the month.
No wonder they sold it if you didn't pay them anyting for itThe good news today is that if hoggs have lost teeth but the new ones haven’t broken the skin they are still classed as lambs teeth.

I know I was onto a good thing (they do get the bps). Must have sold for well over £4million with the house.No wonder they sold it if you didn't pay them anyting for it
