[QUOTE="andybk, post: 5663152, member: 347"] Interesting chat today with a good friend of mine who is a buyer / worker for an abattoir, there is just to much cull cow / out of spec meat in the system at the moment , so all the meat pie factories etc have enough cheap meat without touching the prime market , Their delivery lorry was behind a polish and romanian truck also full of cull cow meat , He said combination of shortage of fodder , high concentrate and straw prices mean all the dairy boys right across europe are killing anything that looks at them funny , and will keep on going till they get to a core of good stock , which wont be till spring , There is still brighter outlook for lamb as ethnic trade need sheep meat , but once again over supply is the problem , along with out of spec lamb mixed in with prime in some cases and sold as one lot in some centres as [USER=178]@Jerry[/USER] was saying . At least with dead weight they know what they are getting through day to day , So come on some of you lads dont just dump unfit lambs on fat market day , Learn how to grade them and put them in the store sale if not fit [/QUOTE]
