[QUOTE="oldoaktree, post: 5760126, member: 12812"] As purely a consumer of beef these days we get a lot of our meat from local butchers or when we get a supermarket delivery there’s mince and chicken in that . I do think farmers markets/shops are over rated in many occasions . local butchers has a sheet up in the shop where the meat comes from which is good another has a regular supplier for his longer hung meat. In the end it comes down to cost and value for money which often is the supermarket. I used to sell fat cattle at Darlington mart . Woodheads bought the best and heaviest ones at decent prices local butcher who now has shops in Corbridge Barnard Castle Sedbugh but to name a few used to complain that my heifers were to heavy for him he bought a odd one now and then but most went to big out fits . I suspect most of what I fattened ended up in supermarkets . Once a month or so I’d get top price at the mart so I believe I produced a quality product. Bought stores from Hexham mart kept them about 9-12 months then sold at Darlington mart. Was there any money in it ? Sometimes, maybe ! [/QUOTE]
