    Catchup on Boxing Day in South Australia, might still be your Christmas Day 🎉! Another very entertaining and interesting podcast, thanks Iona and Cammy. It's great watching on UTube, much better than just listening. Happy holidays to you both.

    Good podcast again. Not having anything to do with farming a lot goes completely over my head but nevertheless very interesting. I can sympathise with your eye story. Cut my eye on a bamboo cane which flicked in my eye. Never felt pain like it. Couldn’t see at all as my good eye was streaming. My daughter had to lead me into the hospital and I was so relieved when they gave me the eye drops. Never experienced pain like it since!!!

    Interesting, here in California everybody is talking about the current economic situation, and here's Cammy 6 thousand miles away saying the exact same words.

    The point about butchers making more than the farmer, well butchers aren’t subsidised and as you mentioned New Zealand farmers are no longer subsidised. Best to stay clear of politics I suppose but you said Scotland isn’t diverse (which compared to England it isn’t), maybe somebody could point that out to your First Minister.

    Cammy, as I understand it the muslim community utilise mostly old ewes and tups (and goats) as most of it is getting spiced and put into curries etc anyway. They are big consumers of sheep meat but it's not the best cuts off the best lambs at the butchers shop.

    Cammy, ironically Canada needs over 100k annually and we just don't have.
    Kosher and halal butcher's are those that sell. The average Joe won't be selling with their religious requirements.
    It's sad though, a supplier won't often feed to their own family due to cost or lost revenue.
    That tells you something and a trend not just in Canada.

    Some avoid full bulls because of taint and heifers you have to beware of them being on heat rideing others and bruising prime cuts
