What are the best gross prices people have had deadweight. Sent everything live so far this time but feel bigger cattle could maybe be a little higher.

Thats a bit harsh, all of our suckler bred goes to Morrisons.

As does most of ours!? They just manage to balls it up. Don't hang it long enough, cut it badly, present it badly.

That means nothing a dairy bred angus/ Hereford heifer o- 4L/4H will be better eating than a suckler bred e2/u2

They stock British as well just have to look for it.

I'm sure it's coincided with the increase in volumes of blue x dairy they do that the eating quality has reduced.

Maybe Midlands Morrisons beef is sourced from certain SW “fat” marts?

There will be price resistance to beef if it goes up in price though there is with everything whenever it goes up in price. But people will get used to it they always do. They either get used to it or do without for a bit. Then they miss it and come back to it.
Everything has gone up in price last few years so it's not like they won't expect it.

Exactly, chicken no longer cheap option. It’s proven no one wants to eat vegan shite, so will adjust something wise to make sure they can afford beef. It’s the only treat a lot off people have.

Utter rubbish, beef/lamb is flying off the shelve currently!

Maccys drive thru down the road is packed out with cars all day long at the moment!

Reality is there is now no food production sub and the Gov have told farmers they will be paid to stop/ drastically reduce food production so farm gate prices will only be going one way and that is upwards!

Survey out today that 24% of egg producers are saying due to very low returns/ very high costs and never ending red tape that they will be quitting producing eggs by the end of 2025 as a case in point !

I find the egg thing hard to understand. I know three NI egg producers well, and they are very happy with the returns for eggs Vs dairy, selling into UK supermarkets.

There’s more chance of me going to the mart wearing a “I ABP” t shirt than rifling through the meat isle in tescunts

The choice of red meat on offer there lately has been awful unless you want chicken every sunday!

ive got to go to the bank today, so going shopping with mrs t we will go to morrion's couple of pieces of brisket and after the 2 week's ive had i'm treating myself to a t bone . i'll be glad when that jersey/ lim's ready for the fridge

no t bone on offer and the guy on the butchery counter said they didn't do it because of theft! i asked if he could cut one , no i think it was because he didn't know how!

Fair enough, but it's hard to know what they stock and /or the quality if you never go in!?
