12/13/2013

Thank you to all for your recent December beef orders and a merry Christmas & a Happy new year to all.
I am hoping to have some more dexter beef available in January 2014 so if you would like to order a 5 kg or 10 kg box please in box me with your order requests.
Hobby the hire bull has had his way with the harem of cows and hopefully by June next year we shall see the first of his calves born and if they are all as placid and docile as hobby we shall have some stunning friendly calves.
Next job on the agenda are the three cows that are about to calve this December hopefully we can avoid the Christmas holidays for calving, pictures will be uploaded on arrival.

If you require a mixed 5kg or 10kg beef box for Christmas please in box me your orders. I am taking a Dexter to the abattoir so with a three week hang time the beef should be ready for delivery from 2nd December.
Please let me know if you require the meat to be fresh or frozen as it helps when I am working out delivery dates.
As always the beef boxes contain a mixture of roast joints, steaks, diced, mince & burgers.
The Dexter beef is top quality and is currently being used by all top chefs including James Martin from Winchester.
Now come on don't be shy you know you want quality beef so treat yourself. I match Mr Tesco in price and my product is 100% traceable and the best you will ever eat.

Hello folks, been a bit snowed under with work etc and so have only just managed to get the first Dexter of the season to the abattoir.
The beef will be silver service butchered and vacuum packed in the various joints and cuts of meat and then boxed into the 5, 10 or 15 kg boxes.
If you have not yet placed your orders please make sure you go on the website and either send me your contact details or place your orders using the newly created order form.
If I have your order details rest assured I will aim to deliver these direct to your door so please make sure you have fridge or freezer space.
You know this is the best meat around as it is fully traceable and raised in the most lovely settings of various nature reserves.
Remember British meat is best and Dexter meat from Mark Black Farming is 100% local and no traces of horse to be found.
For those of you who have ordered from me before feel free to send your feedback.
I can do smaller sample boxes just e mail me if interested.

Anyone who wants a nice dog walk or a place to take the kids out pop down to lakeside see the cattle in the field and the birds on the lake as well as taking a ride on the miniature railway.
There is also a kids play area.
The dexter's have also been delivered to Hocombe and will quite quickly get into munching down the grass there which has grown up quite quickly.

We also plan to move out four cattle to Ashtrim Nature Reserve, Bishopstoke and three Dexters to Hocombe Mead Nature reserve on the same day.
Grateful if any site volunteers can keep an eye out when delivered to the sites so that they settle in well to their summer grazing sites.

The cows are grazing at Moorlands Farm, West End and are due to be introduced to the hire bull in mid June 2013. Hopefully the bull will do his job successfully and we will have a good crop of calves for spring 2014.
Fencing at Moorlands is going well with 4 of the large paddocks re fenced with stock proof sheep fencing and lovely new wooden gates all available for the Dexters to graze.
