all ready for the summer market to stop the prices going to high for the farmer surge in cattle

[@gerardhealy2110]

I wonder are they giving themselves €3.75 a kilo and making a loss

[@eddielloyd13]

Gerard im just seeing ur comment. You Farmers need to unit with others with like minded views Now is the time.

[@diggerwoolstone]

Nice cattle, but not enough space for them.

[@lauraharmour]

disgustingly kept

[@CalvesFanatic]

Yeah they need a small bit more space

[@derekfinn6077]

Only holding pens not live in

[@thomasburke3881]

Holding pens my ass Every farmer is the same Can’t get enough

[@diggerwoolstone]

@@thomasburke3881 cant speak for ireland but you would never see this in England, large operations still have a large roaming space.

[@jamesoneill352]

Bigger and bigger like all farming enterprises until one entity owns the lot

[@jamesoriordan7616]

any problems with the tb how many reactors i could well imagine not even one this is confined to the farmer victims with their herds locked up

[@jcb706]

Are these the cattle from the small men with the handy cow and the big bull?

[@EL-wm9fk]

What are you on about

[@nadeemmaan9097]

What feed are used for fattening.

[@lauraharmour]

look at the state of those animals

@@rosmutti I was jokin with the meat factory. Your as far removed from the meat industry as the people you are critizing.

[@billabong9215]

@@rosmutti whoever you are....why don't you become a butcher and stop trying to change the meat industry person by person on KZbin. I bet you have told people your whole life that your grandfather was a butcher and you know good meat.... Nobody cares. I hope I'm not the first person in your life to tell you that. Funny thing is I agree with most of what you say but you disagreed with me from the beginning about a slang term that people in the Industry use, and tried to bring humour to whatever this is, trying to prove a pointless agenda. What's your premise? Just because you use public buses doesn't mean your in part of the bus industry.... I'm afraid your looking into the past with rose tinted spectacles. Different times.... Different diets. Much more carbohydrates. How many butchers do you think it would take to slaughter the 30,000+ cattle each week the factories kill. Your pieces are sloppily written and looping. Get a life rosmutti and stop telling people all about your grandfather.... Again.... No one cares.

[@billabong9215]

@@rosmutti speaking of your so called precious butcher traditions... I am a dairy farmer. We always kept one heifer for our own freezer every year. Two years in a row, two different 'caring' butchers gave us back meat that 100% was not the animal we gave them. They sold our meat and gave us back a few hundred kilos of stringy bad meat from clearly older cows. Whilst making a tidy profit for themselves. I'm turning off notifications now because you seemed to have fabricated some sort of debate in your head , that I care..maybe your secretly unhappy at home and this is your avenue to vent . Whatever your doing is extremely unhealthy for you mentally. Build a bridge and get over it. With that being said. Good day to you Madam .

[@DCFelix67]

@@rosmutti So is that what you do now, or your parents? Your grandmother only got in the back room because your grandfather was a butcher. Imagine if we all trooped to the back room before buying anything. That's nonsense.

[@nightdriver65]

do they get a knock back on the amount of belly muck on them as here in england most of them would be regected for the belly muck

[@thomasdeevy6541]

Cartels in action

[@TheClougherna]

Nice bastes.far too many packed in.board bia grass fed?dirty enough operation.

[@thomasd9424]

I taught we were better than this in Ireland, bord bia won't be showing this video to the Chinese market I guess. Thanks for screwing the little man and milking the subsidies, got to keep your margins high and the market low. Finest quality extra chemical misery meat, I hope they feel better looking at the bank statement because this is wrong in every way.

[@johnculbert1545]

What are you raving about? The cattle were purchased from suckling farmers in marts at good prices for the suckling farmers. Better than exporting live. The cattle all look happy and healthy..

[@jcb706]

Up the small farmers who bred these cattle

[@EL-wm9fk]

Dog C have fun surviving off of nothing

[@zetor141]

Hard work done by all the small farmers and then they reep the rewards. Feed lots like that should be done away with. And let the farmers have there time

[@thomasdeevy6541]

Great to keep prices down

[@alemuhaymanot7048]

Nice but not cleaned

[@rosmutti]

This is disgraceful. Cattle should not be lying in their own waste and starved in pens like this before being slaughtered. Where are the veterinary inspectors? Where is the department of agriculture? is this really a promotional video? WTF? Kepak is a disgrace.

[@johnculbert1545]

You know nothing about cattle

[@indyybimix1905]

Good morning my friend how can I get work at this company ?????

[@eddielloyd13]

All going to slaughter for one main man !

[@lauraharmour]

hardly any room to move

[@derekfinn6077]

They are holding pens not live in pens! Slurry tanks being agitated so they cant be in a shed while that's going on

[@georgediver9590]

Thats whats wrong holding farmers to ransom by having there own feedlots

[@tonymurphy9926]

Disgracefull

[@jonaudis5432]

As a consumer looks overcrowded and filthly. No welfare standards in Ireland? Is this supposed to be an advert?!

[@johnculbert1545]

You know nothing about cattle. The cattle look very relaxed and calm and are obviously very well looked after. There's plenty of feed, clean water and lots of fresh air. They spend a couple of months in this facility to be ready for the butcher. Most of their life is spent out in fields on grass.
