Dairy or suckler bred?
Good weights what do you give them?
Dairy. There diet is add lib barley, wheat and a few oats plus db agri protien. Straw or even plain hay in the ring feeders. Topped off with for farmers selco plus. (I topdress the selco with a few minerals). Keep trying to tweak it but im happy how they are weighing now.

It’s a mistake that they’ve admitted. It’s not exactly fraud or deliberate misrepresentation. The front had the Union flag and the back had the NZ logo - if they had done it deliberately they would have taken off the NZ from the back.
But how many times does it happen. I think they know exactly what they are doing every time.

It’s no worse than the mobile butcher in the local high street market.
Calls himself ‘the honest butcher’ and turns up with his van covered in Union Jacks.

The actual meat he sells is best described as ‘of no fixed abode’. Awful stuff. No traceability and grim product. Ended up feeding some to the dogs last time.
Implying that other butchers are dishonest ! What a tosser .

Not saying it is but who sells the majority of meat in this country

It just shows how well regarded the british farmer is regarded by the silent majority when they have to label nz lamb as british to sell it.
Thats why they try to trick shoppers by putting foreign stuff inbetween uk produce on the same shelves rather than give it a seperate aisle. Supermarkets do not do anything they havent thought long and hard about, labelling mistake is a bulls##t excuse.

exactly and is also the reason farmers should
Not be getting involved with contracts with them it’s all for the super market they play long hard game , also the reason should not sell dead, farmer should not do anything a super market wants as if they want it it’s because it’s in their favour .
