Rob, if you need meat to satisfy your customers why don't you get together with Sylvia as she has an abundance of it and is finding it hard to find an outlet!
Maybe if you get together you can have a collaboration agreement where Sylvia produces up to a certain age and you buy them for further finishing and and sell the beef. Its one way of having plenty of beef for sale with a limited number of cows, just a suggestion. I would certainly consider it if we where not so far apart and our TB tests where the same interval. I know that Sylvia also has some cows for sale TB test allowing of course.

Be careful with butchers - I have used one and the mince is dreadful .... don't think it is Dexter at all. The taste and the texture are really awful and it is very fatty. At best he has used the wrong beef ie not 'steak mince' but it is soooo bad I'm fairly sure it ain't my beef. The rest seems OK
So be warned guys, there are sharks out there!
