Pasture for life

[Pan mixer]

I am thinking of heaving myself onto another bandwagon, we are raising beef without cake at present but I would like to know where is the nearest registered slaughterhouse for the scheme to me?

Does it need to be a registered slaughterhouse for PFLA or is it self cert?

We are grassfed I think there was talk of a premium (Everfields mentioned it). I still havent registered. Need to do it.

I have a friend at Haddiscoe Marshes , I'll ask where she sends her's

Looking more closely at the details it could be interpreted that they don't need an approved abattoir, just the farm (me) butcher (not me) and retailer (me again)

Is this what you think @Chasingmytail ?

Not being smart or, hopefully, too stupid... but does 100% grassfed exclude 'bribery' cake to get them in for a vet or AI or whatever, and energy licks around AI time too? If they're alright I like the sound of it - ours eat an awful lot of leaves from trees and shrubs too though...

Maybe sugar beet pulp or something similar is permissible? Or even some overpriced grass nut plus type concoction, if you're not using a lot? Best to have a look through their standard if you're serious.

I had a quick look through, as it's something I'm interested in. Lucerne pellets are allowed. I'm not sure if this is the equivalent of promising kids sweets and giving the liquorice, though? @Danllan

I am a bit concerned that they seem to charge some sort of percentage on the retail price and don't appear to do too much advertising apart from the logo.

We are looking into this though.

I'm quite interested in concept for Ruminants . Not a big meal feeder , but lambs in sheds being fed as swampy outside ..... Every year is different !
Lucerne nuts / pellets are useful , but price can be uneconomical v just saying 'stuff it' and doing what you do ....
In truth . don't think Gov.UK or most of Public give a sh1t what we feed .
I have a VERY successful neighbour who markets stock to top-end outlets .... Do they give a 'F' about FABBL/ Red Tractor Assurance etc ?
You can guess the answer ; it starts with an N !!

were following the guidlines to onramp - but again deciding if the label is worth it - a bit like organic.

I think that any 'cake' will work at first, not sure how long it will keep working if it's a bit duff though.

Liquorice...

This is it, my guess is that it probably isn't as good as it seems, just think RT; but I'm hopeful it will be.

No registration of slaughterhouse required as far as I know.
