We have had two 12 hour days over the weekend with the whole team working flat out!

It is genuinely a huge pleasure to work with people who are really great team players. It is at times like this that you sort out the men from the boys!

And putting together all of the orders conjures up visions of many happy festive gatherings and we hope that our meat will add hugely to the enjoyment of the occasion.

We are up to date with orders having worked a day ahead (allowing for a plan B if one was needed!).

It does mean that we can still take orders for Geese, Red Ruby Ribs of Beef, Ready Cooked Dishes and Ready to Cook Casseroles and The Simplest Christmas Turkey ever! (these have proved to be very popular)

This morning we have heard that our Red Ruby Ribs of Beef have won the Native breed class at The Royal Smithfield Show.

It was interesting that those Ribs were just taken from the carcases killed for that week, no special nurturing or pampering to win prizes - this is the quality of beef that our customers are buying every day of the year! Just like every other week, the cattle we killed were between 2 ½ and 3 years old. They had reached natural maturity through a very traditional system of farming which has evolved over the years to suit this part of the country. The calves are born up on Exmoor where their mothers make the most of the moorland grazing and vegetation, which is unsuitable for any other kind of food production. The young cattle then spend about 18 months on a wonderfully traditional Domesday farm at Athelney on the Somerset Levels, where no fertilizers are used, just the winter flood-waters which enrich the fertile pastures.

Quite a contrast to the overall winner - a typical product of the modern High Street! The same weight but a continental breed which was a full 12 months younger and would have been fed predominantly on imported cereals.

We know that not every beef producer believes that what we do is right, but we feel as passionately as ever that the grasslands of the Westcountry, and especially those on the moors and levels, are the perfect place to grow "Meat the Natural Way", especially Red Ruby Beef!
