If I had a local butcher I’d use them as much as I could especially if it was all local produce meats from local farms I’d ask for deals and buy in bulk an support as much as I could. I buy two whole lambs a year I used to pay £120 each but they went up to £150 each because of the processing price went up I buy directly from the farmer he keeps 12 or so lambs back a year for himself an locals who buy direct 

Think you’ll see an increase on that price……..our lambs were averaging £135 a pice at markets last Spring, stick a £50 kill & cut charge on & you’re at £185 per lamb.

Supermarkets drive down prices, farmers respond by driving down on animal,welfare. Its a vicious circle.

Think you’re right on that & it’s now hit the bottom. Now they’re looking to increase margins through screwing customers as opposed to screwing suppliers (cause they’ve screwed them all they can). People need to start looking elsewhere as opposed to automatically pulling into the Tesco/Sainsbury’s/Asda/ Morrisons car park
