Farm assured cattle is there any point?

Cull cows make more and that covers the cost of RT for me

The cost of RT is one thing but it's the draconian measures they are introducing more and more . I'm awaiting my next inspection and ,as I've said before, if they ask a load of pointless time wasting questions then the second word will be off !!
I just don't need the hassle !

Guys, I encourage, even implore you all to toss FA over the side. Once enough of you have done so and hopefully adopted the daft “brown tractor” idea floated elsewhere on TFF, the last vestiges of trust in your product will disappear in the consumers eyes. Especially since Paddy’s slick food marketing machine Bord Bia, will fill the vacuum with mouthwatering promotions and advertising campaigns for Irish grass fed beef. Chelsea Mom’s will kill each other in Sainsbury’s to clean out the Irish beef, and the Kerrygold dairy shelf…..

Did you not get the memo fella? The UK are swapping all its Irish stuff for Aussie, Kiwi and American Beef now. Good old trade deals you'll have to try and get one

Quite happy to deal with Aussie's and Kiwi's you seem like a decent bunch.

ASDA doing the job for you Paddy's anyway. Our local ASDA (Grantham) on Tuesday evening was (as usual) in the main Irish beef except the single wrapped steaks which had a union jack.

ASDA are a shower of s5it. I've seen them with Aussie lamb on offer in August...

If the Vet is happy with your animal welfare, then that should be a good enough form of assurance.

Very, very rarely go into ASDA. It's all Scottish meat in Aldi

a stock farmer friend of mine, has just had his first child, he said hes told RT to do one and hes going to put the membership cost plus a couple of hundred in to a bank account per year as a savings for his child until their 18.

with a bit of interest etc thats circa 10k


now that to me sounds like a good use of £500 per year to me
