Those of you in Wales and the S.W. may be interested in a chap who is trying to expand his meat jerky business. This might be a new product line for those of you with farm shops or famers' market stands.
Website is http://martinsjerkedmeat.com or email martinsjerkedmeat@hotmail.com
Martin is also looking to source some cattle to bring on so he can promote the meat as home reared. A chance for someone to make contact & sell some Dexters before he ends up with Welsh Blacks, for example.
I know of him through the living history side of Rent A Peasant, as Martin is a prolific self publicist on several living history fora (spot the pedant!) and will be appearing on Dragons Den. I suggest someone should get him mentioning Dexter beef as a bit of product placement marketing. I've never met him but I understand he is a flamboyant character with a pink Mohican & a kilt. He does have an interesting take on the English language when posting on fora.
If I was closer to S. Wales, I would certainly be thinking of a tie-in with my herd but some else in that area might like to make contact.
Beef jerky - another product line for Dexter beef?
