I know mate, been farming all my life, theres not a week goes by without some health scare/problem turning up, we try and produce as much of our own meat as possible now, run hereford cross for beef, grass fed only and hung for 21 days you don't get beef like that in the supermarket, make my own sausages using decent cuts and dry cure my own bacon, and we also have our own lamb, trouble is keeping hold of enough for ourselves once friends and family find out, just got to get the veg patch sorted properly and should be getting towards self sufficent

I'm reading a book at the moment called 'Not on the label'.

 

 

It's oldish ie. published 2004 I think but gives some really good insights into the food industry, the price we pay for cheap food and also how supermarkets came to dominate and dictate to the producers of food.

I cant stress enough how easy it is to raise a few animals yourself, whether it be pigs, sheep, chickens etc. We do a few pigs every couple of months and the meat is to die for. Dont tend to buy much meat at all now from super markets.
