I don't think they'll be any white faced shearlings to buy next yearView attachment 998160These £80 gimmers look like there lives might be in danger mind!
No British beef in Asda yesterday ....just Irish ..
Tesco just as bad.they've been stocking with German stuff but who knows where its really come from.
You would think after the last few years lessons would be learnt and U.K. beef would be a priority
There’s no doubt that being more self sufficient is the answer just seems to be a long wait for those in the know to catch on
I thought you were £200....you keep lifting the bar, it seems to be working!Soon be at £250
They do look a bit provocative!Or a Welshman with a hard on.
They sell all kinds Tesco under their other name of “Booker” complete barstewards stuffing the catering trade full of foreign meats .
Doesn't seem to be an issue up here.they've been killing animals at full capacity for weeks.price hasn't shifted for months.From what I heard yesterday the issue isn't supply of animals but workforce processing capacity.
All major retailers, food service and food outlets are importing from the continent where the labour supply isn't such an issue.
Frustrating as i feel its keeping a lid on cattle prices.
Thats been the story for a long time...its as you say all about keeping the price downFrom what I heard yesterday the issue isn't supply of animals but workforce processing capacity.

But we are now seeing imports being sucked in greater and greater numbersThats been the story for a long time...its as you say all about keeping the price down
So you admit they are sharks , long story for a short outcome ffs .The catering trade has always sourced whatever they can get cheapest. Booker is hardly forcing them to buy it, they are supplying what that customer demands, as they did long before everyone’s easy bogeyman took over.
The pressure needs to be put on the catering trade, or rather their customers, to actually give a toss about provenance, not moan about the sharks supplying them.

£4.50 at our local…Of course they’re sharks, like most other large companies. They all got so big by being ruthless businessmen, willing to sell their grannies.
The catering industry, or rather their customers, don’t give a monkeys about provenance, just price. If Bookers didn’t supply that demand, another ruthless operator would rise up to do so.
It’s the folks expecting a carvery for a fiver that are to blame. It ain’t prime Scottish Angus going into that now is it!
£7 here. Let it never be say we don’t put prices on the lamb/beef/pig/carvery tracker.£4.50 at our local…

Wifey ordered stuff with Castell Howell in the lockdown last summer,chicken breasts were from Holland and whole chickens from Argentina.My MIL used to be a bookers manager for 15 or so years but left just before Tesco got involved, going in to visit her you’d see a big slab of beef on the counter with UK slaughter house stamps on the meat yet the label said “Produce of Botswana”
And served by them as well ...or their relationsGo to McDonald's, I'm sure I've read somewhere their chicken is produced in Malaysia.
