Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Anyone who was interested, the bull we killed a month or so back was cut up and sold at the weekend. everything sold on saturday, comments rained in..... it was fantastic! very tender very tasty, but lacking in a bit of fat. a french restaurant had the ribs and sold them, each rib was a roast for 2...

I keep forgetting to mention we are in the middle of a caesarian hot spot. i had heard on the grape vine that certain farms were struggling to calve. and 20 caesars have been mentioned. i had a phone call from the farm manager next door they have 2 farms and 3500acre 400 sucklers they have reached ...

Warts almost closed us down a few weeks back. the finishing bulls have been in all winter and the warts had built up in certain animals, usually slightly smaller or weaker ones. i could probably trace the individuals back to pneumia cases last year. some had quite alot and odd ones did not look pre...

Saffy if someone wants to buy some beef let them, see what happens there is no point in getting set up for selling meat untill you have tried it. you arent going to go to jail for selling a few steaks. in fat who would ever know. if you find people want to buy more then look into what you have to d...

Firstly vaccum packers are expensive but they are worth it. a table top model will start at around £1000 and they can only do 1 bag at once. our new one was £3000+ but is great. the real problem is if you take delivery of cut meat and then start to pack it you would need a facility in which to do i...

unless you sell large numbers of cattle live through markets then there is no point in being assured. turn out decent saleable stock and it will get the same price as assured stock anyway. if its for selling meat you dont need to be assured, your customers can come to your farm and see the place th...

the vet is always present, cost is not tobad £20-30 i think but i will soon tell you as they are being done next week. its simply down to my management time, it just suits me to leave them well alone until i have the chance to do it usually in the spring. i think the consensus is correct bull meat ...
