Where Do Dead Animals Go?

[livestock 1]

I’ve used the other lot since they started now

I was all for changing but the mrs although she did the most moaning about them thought it best to stick with them.

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Grayshill is 20 odd for a dead sheep. Not sure about Douglas brae. Think they burn them.

Grayshill stuff comes down to Dumfries I think

 

[Nithsdale]

Apparently there is half a mega watt in a horse !

(That may speed up getting a dead horse out a stable !)

So... what I'm hearing is you're telling me my diesel 120hp car is actually a 60mega watt electric car??


Today is a good day

 

[Nithsdale]

I’ve heard Dundas has sold a large % in their company to an Irish meat company, I think he said it was Dawn, began with a D,
99% sure its not Abp

Haven't heard anything. Last we knew, Dundas (well, the family) were trying to buy (more) farmland for planting with trees as 'carbon offsetting'

Dundas own the bit at Motherwell, too.


Fair empire considering it all started from a farm and contracting

 

[Mark727]

Ask a farmer who has invested millions where his sheep go after they leave the farm gate he has no idea.

It's often my neighbours field

Probably, if you set fire to it

They make bio diesel out of the fat apparently.

Be interesting to get a Vegan viewpoint on that one....)

They would not be able to drive a diesel car surely....

 

[Nearly]

There's never any need to pay the farmers. It's the way the whole system works.

Tell the vagans that one.
I told one what Walls ice cream used to be made of.

Pointons at Cheddleton are our nearest renderers. Christ they must make some hellish money out of the byproducts. I don’t know how big their estate is now but they’ve been buying adjoining farms for a long time now
ABP bought them out 3/4 years ago now. No idea how much for but it won’t have been a little cheque

Get your name down for his shoot.

Be this years profit for a single day at Consall!!

It was one of the drivers telling me

I'll corner Ricky next time he's in

 

[ollie989898]

Fairly sure most of it goes to rendering now to produce Meat and bone meal which can then be incinerated to make kalfos fertiliser

Certainly they were putting some of this stuff into powerstations.

 

[bluebell]

Choice what choice? we had a choice of vets, livestockmarts, feed merchants, abbatoirs etc etc, now no choice, one vet that charges, well you cant "shop" around, because now its the only "farm animal vet", can we please go back to 1970s profits, 1970s legislation, 1970s numbers of small livestock farmers and 1970s "choices"

Only if you run it on liquid horse apparently?

Back to feeding meat and bone meal, fish meal and putting on nitrogen at 20 cwt/acre?

He made no mention to Mr Carrie about dead beasts paying for it all.

In the future I think we should power our cities on Vegans

This would;

1: decrease the global population which is desperately needed
2: decrease the reliance on fossil fuels
3: save the universe

4: mean we can keep V8 engines

A small scale beef farmer set up a rendering company in Yorkshire about 20 years ago, he is one of the richest men in the world now, yes world. He owns everything from helicopters, farms, housing estates to Mercedes main dealers.

Whilst the rest of us were bending over and adding Vaseline to pay for red tractor fees, levies and NFU subscriptions he was actually forwarding and filling gaps in the market, which the NFU etc should have been filling.

The right wing will moan about Gary Lineker, but ignore politicians wanting young boys to wear mini dresses, farmers will moan about supermarkets selling foreign beef, but ignore that they are having upto £20 a sheep and £100 a beast deducted from their farm gate prices to cover offal removal which is a saleable product, this is what makes us less competitive.

Farmers and abattoirs having to pay for byproduct removal, is similiar to plumbers having to pay the scrap yards to take their waste copper, would that ever happen?

What will Farmers do, in the words of Connor Mcgregor absolutely feck all, the industry desperately needs new blood like Mr Dyson etc.
