[QUOTE="jock t, post: 7293658, member: 1019"] I said to my wife at the weekend I was going to book cattle to ABP for the beginning of January, she asked what the price was and I thought we’d probably get £3.75 a kg base price. She went to the butchers in the afternoon and came home to report mince was selling at £12.80 a kg. Now if my bullock kills at 380kg I get £1425, if they minced the whole carcass it would sell for £4864! Now I know our butcher is expensive and the supermarket is cheaper but even if you half the price they aren’t mincing it all. when we put a beast in the freezer it cost less than £500 to kill, hang and butcher. Someone in the line is making a killing but it’s certainly not the farmer. [/QUOTE]
