It would appear that I have orders fullfilled for one, and three quarters are to go to Essex, but there should be more beef available in September, by which time I hope to have full mail order facilities in place (got a clever chap with my website on his agenda  ) but I will be doing a similar thing after we get the beef out of the way, with lamb, or more accurately mutton, which will be easier to divide up to send by carrier.
Just to add, I now have just one quarter share left, preferably in the Cambridge to Essex area, to make sure the whole animal goes to one place & then I can deliver it to a specific point. There will be more beef available in September, by which time things should be running smoother & I'll be able to offer lower than half animal quantities. In the meantime, following the beef, in July I may be doing a similar type of promotion with half or whole hoggs for mutton |

Just to be clear, I have put together a few details:
Terms of sale
The above offer is for the sale of four halves of two Dexter steer carcasses at a wholesale price of �2-35 per kilogram deadweight*1, based upon the hook weight provided by the abattoir.
The deadweight measurement is the point of sale, on which prices are calculated and after which the animal becomes the buyers responsibility.
Confirmed orders may be cancelled where either a replacement buyer is successfully provided by the non-completing buyer, or where a replacement buyer is otherwise available. Cancelled orders cannot be accepted after the point of sale.
Where an incident of force majeure occurs, neither I nor the buyer can be held responsible for replacement. Examples of force majeure include the death of either party, the pre-slaughter death of the animal, or the condemnation of any part of the carcass for public health reasons (including the pre-slaughter loss of official animal identification).
I*2 am offering the beef for sale as half carcasses and any subsequent butchering costs will be added to the above figure.
Each half is available for sale as one lot to any individual or group of individuals who are contributors on the downsizer.net forum or the rivercottage.net forum.
I am arranging butchering at cost (~�100 per animal) for killing & cutting up.
Each half will be available in wholesale packaging*3 as reflected by the price. Information as required by the Beef Labelling (Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2000 will be provided with each half carcass.
Offal from the two animals will be available if requested. This includes the heart, two kidneys, lungs, tail and liver. Only the liver may be split between lots.
Payment is due 14 days from the date of invoice. Invoices will be generated once weights are available and payment at or before the time of collection will be acceptable*4
Payments for halves shared by a group of individuals may be either supplied wholly by one of those individuals or in part from each individual. Where full payment is not available the half carcass will not be released.
Collection is the responsibility of the buyer, although an informal arrangement between contributors is encouraged to save transport costs & time. Any delivery costs may be added to the invoice & the contributor(s) collecting reimbursed*5.
A full traceability record can be provided upon request. This includes the parentage of the animal, any movements throughout its lifetime and any medication supplied throughout its life*6
*1 Deadweight is the weight of the carcass skinned, eviscerated & the head removed. Buyers will be made aware of this information as and when it becomes available.
*2 �I� as a representative of �Rosewood Farms�, to which all payments can be made out.
*3 No individual wrapping, packaging or labelling. Each will be presented in a number of plastic lined cardboard boxes, as divided by the abattoir. An inventory can be supplied if required.
*4 the point at which the order leaves our premises.
*5 currently proposed as �20 per half carcass, subject to change as per informal agreement.
*6 Where the animal is home bred, which both animals offered for sale here are, otherwise as much information as is available will be provided. |
