[QUOTE="Old Tip, post: 7154729, member: 292"] I read in the Farmers Guardian that the NBA are suggesting the age at which cattle can be sold as prime beef be lowered to 27 months to allegedly reduce the carbon footprint of beef production. Firstly I completely disagree with their calculations as slower grown grass fed beef actuallytakes more carbon out of the atmosphere than it puts in plus needs less fossil fuels etc etc. Secondly the American/Brazilian feedlot cereal based finishing system is where a lot of the bad press on beef comes from, our more pastoral raised beef has a unique marketing advantage and is what the consumer seems to want. You never see an advert for beef of a load of cattle in a yard or a shed. Be intrested to here what the rest of the collective thinks about this but I for one will be revoking my membership of more than twenty years. Old Tip [/QUOTE]
