[QUOTE="davieh3350, post: 7224740, member: 52292"] One thing that I always wanted to happen to me when I was farming was for someone to stop in and ask to buy a beast, never happened too often though. I loved talking about the animals and found it easy to sell them, as in promoting how good they were and would quite often give away a pack of meat to the people I was talking to so they could try it (got to be able to back up your claims) so... how about going for a tour one afternoon and looking over dykes (Stone ones, but maybe water ones too) and hedges and spotting some bullocks out at grass, then just dropping into the farmyard and ask about them, how they’re fed and medicated, moved about grazing. See if they’re passionate about them. If you get a good feeling about them, tell them that you’re looking for a source of good meat, ask to try some. If they eat it themselves they’ll have some in the freezer. if it’s good you could get together with friends and buy a beast from them and get them to deliver to a slaughterhouse and sort the rest out from there yourselves. if you don’t have a good feeling about them, leave, you have the right as a farmer to stop and blether to other farmers at will, no one will think you are strange for doing so.
