[WestBerkshire]

Hello there,

My name is Matt.
I live in Lincolnshire, and my current occupation is assistant butcher. I have quite the interest in owning a small holding one day and have joined the site to learn about rearing livestock.

I'm looking forward to reading and learning, and thanks for having me .

Kind Regards

Hello and welcome to the forum Matt. As an assistant butcher I am sure you will be able to answer our questions too when we aren't sure which cuts to ask for at the abattoir.

Thank you everyone!

I'd be more than happy to answer questions about butchery in general, and what cuts you'd like to enquire about from the abattoir .

I don't always read the Intro posts, but was intrigued about the username WestBerkshire in a post entitled Greetings from Lincolnshire!

That's a fair observation Sally! I was finding it hard to come up with a username, so I threw a family name on top of a random pig breed in a book I opened - 'WestBerkshire' was the result, and I just thought 'well... that'll do'.

On that basis I could be McHughSandyBlack.  I quite like that.
