Gordon Couger wrote in message ... Jim, From a discussion on AgBioview: "When I stayed in England I was amazed at the high cost of food. Meat was two to three times the price I was used to paying in the Safeway. When these English people stayed with me in Washington D.C. they couldn't believe the amount of meat in the local super-market and how cheap it was. I was afraid they were going to OD on steak before they went home." As I recall when we worked out the price to feed a beef your selling price wasn't a great deal different than mine. Where did de money go? Gordon supermarkets buy cheap and sell dear. They drive down the costs and jack up the margins. That is what impressed me about US cutting plants etc, they can pay more for the meat at the farm gate yet still get it to the consumer at a lower price. Must admit our lads who went to South Dakota were not impressed with the quality of the beef, but would be used to grass fed. One commented that if he did move, he would stick his own bullock in the freezer after rearing it his way. I expect American dinner guests at his house would find it rather strong tasting and probably not tender/juicy enough for them. Such is personal taste. -- Jim Webster "The pasture of stupidity is unwholesome to mankind" 'Abd-ar-Rahman b. Muhammad b. Khaldun al-Hadrami' |

There is no question that that you dance with the one that brung you on taste. It's like me and fresh green beans. I like the ones out of the can better because that's what I am used to. My dad's just the opposite. He likes the home canned or fresh the best. I don't like grass fats beef at all. Both my wife's dad and my dad an I ran feed lots and we like a really fat calf. Her dad would take them to 1,200 or 1,300 pounds shooting for high prime. We were aiming for high choice at a later market when people were getting more health conscious. I expect that your rules and regulations transfer in to real costs in the slaughter house. Seems I remember you have wash them and shave their bellies and a good deal more. Possibly even removing the major nerves such as the sciatic nerve from the hind quarter. I am involved with helping people find microscopes around the world and I find the folks from the UK and EU are not nearly as free and easy dealing as I am used too. I will see a very good friend that has been living just outside of London for the last 30 years day after tomorrow. I has been 15 years or so since I saw him it is always intersting to get his prospective. He is an independent reservoir geologist for the North Sea. He company wanted to move his family to Houston, Texas and send him to Siberia. He retired and went to work for himself. Siberia is not so bad but living in Houston, no way:) He would have to pay US taxes. Jim, that leaves you a healthy room for profit in selling to your neighbors and still save them a nice sum. I can't do that here. I have to produce a lot better quality than they can get in the store and sell it for the same as store price and I can't make that work because I can get the feed conversion that the big lots do because I don't have their feed processing machinery. I learned that lesson 35 years ago. Gordon |

Seems I remember you have wash them and shave their bellies and a good deal more. try doing that to a bullock or young bull while he is alive. Not actually shave (as a vet might do before operating) but clip right out so they are spotless. Possibly even removing the major nerves such as the sciatic nerve from the hind quarter. The spinal cord, head and various offals such as thymus etc have to be discarded.

It is easy enough for me to undercut supermarkets but an awful lot of people are living hand to mouth and find £100 bad to find. We aren't as bad as some areas but some couples are paying interest on a mortgage of over 5 times their joint annual incomes. (I have seen the figure 7 times joint income mentioned!) God alone knows what will happen when interest rates go up. -- Jim Webster "The pasture of stupidity is unwholesome to mankind" 'Abd-ar-Rahman b. Muhammad b. Khaldun al-Hadrami' Gordon |

Your problem is simple put in a big freezer and deliver as they can use it. If that is against the government rules buy a freezer a sell it to a cooperative of you customers for one pound a share or some such. -- Gordon Gordon Couger Stillwater, OK www.couger.com/gcouger |

This is great, as so many of the king's men are gathered right here.
Somehow the opportunity to do anything for humanity, other then flying big ass airplanes into tall buildings, is over your head or in your pants. For your entertainment, I've introduced a few new pages: http://guthvenus.tripod.com/thermoenergy.htm http://guthvenus.tripod.com/radio-not.htm http://guthvenus.tripod.com/magic-truth.htm and lots more updates.
