Are there any farms buying-in Dexters for finishing within reasonable distance of S W Wales?

Hi Sylvia,
i am suprised no one has responded,so i will.
I beleive Mike Bancroft may take finished steers, of the right quality of course.01926 842317,but he is in Warwickshire.

On that subject Mike is holding a training day at his farm on 6th Nov (Sun) when the topic of beef production,marketing,feeding,growth rates etc will be demonstrated along with butchery,castration,de-horning ear tagging,bull inspecting ect.......
A full day of demonstrations and workshops in conjunction with the DCS.
Ticket only to include lunch and hot / cold drinks £10 per person.
More detail to follow,full advert in the next Bulletin.
Contact Mike on the above number or Pete Lancaster 01386 833836 or Alison Kirk 01386 700635 for enquiries and more detail.
Mark

Thanks Mark, I did get a reply by private e-mail but the distances are problematical. The training day sounds useful.
