If there was a benefit to some sort of grass fed scheme so as the end price was higher then thats fair enough but lets see the benefit before the cost and hassle
Not being funny but how can anyone prove anything grass fed, organic whatever they turn up once a year and have a look round and then what ? With all these things there has to be some trust unless someone is going to stand and watch 24,7 even then you could give them a few quid to look tuther way
All I was saying was if it comes to feed lot beef being imported cheap then there isn't really any point in trying to compete if you are moaning now cos you can't
In a ideal world yes it could be done on trust, but nobody trusts anybody anymore.
Organic inspector goes through feed records with a fine tooth comb. Makes me sweat every time.
