It weighs 9lb, and I think it looks beautiful. Ive just had a box of beef delivered from them and it all looks superb. What do you think?

All you need now is a bottle or two of Lyth Valley Damson Wine or beer! Lyth Valley just outside Kendal is renouned for its sloe and damson and not so far away from where I use to live. There use to be a great pub that initially started the wine and beer in a micro brewery...great area name (my local pub) The Mason's Arms, Strawberry Bank Here's Lyth http://www.fellsanddales.org.uk/trails/damson_trail.php See you just have to go north Back to top Gilly C Joined: 22 Jun 2006 Posts: 2381 Location: South Cumbria Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2007 10:07 pm    Post subject: The best beer is now Conistons Brewery Bluebird a lot of pubs don't sell it as if they do nothing else sells !

Itsybitsy Our South Devons make such a HUGE carcass they are too much for us two and I haven't got time to split it up. My little highland for the freezer needs another 12 months before he will be ready but thats why we started with them in the first place, much smaller carcass for our own use.

Your Highland should be nice.

All three Highland calves this year have been heifers so when Hamish goes we'll have to make him last.
