[QUOTE="DanielBennett, post: 6797992, member: 106490"] Now I am no expert at beef cows (or any other types of cows, or other animals for that matter!), but when I read posts like this, I always see the ironic side of them. Sorry. Why are so many British farmers so intent on breeding continental beef breeds? There is so much grumbling about reducing prices for beef, which is ultimately driven down by reducing demand. And reducing demand is because less people are eating beef. And why are they eating less beef? From someone who loves cooking (and farming), the beef in our supermarkets, predominantly from continental crosses is often a far cry from what great beef is really like. So whilst appreciating many are rearing beef animals to meet the "demands" of the supermarkets, in doing so we are producing a mediocre product which will simply continue the downward spirral of demand. I know that doesn't answer the OP's original question, but reverting to traditional British beef breeds may just help. [/QUOTE]
