Regulations can make life very difficult for livestock farmers who run their own businesses.

And with the arrival of the latest trench of EU regulations, life has just become even more complicated for farm shop managers and farmers.

Its now no longer permissible to send animals for slaughter to the abattoir and then on to the local butchers for cutting if the meat is for retail sale.

New laws make it necessary for the carcasses to be sent to EEC licensed cutting plants for the cutting to be carried out.

So it's good to know that in the heart of the East Anglian countryside, there is a company, Clarke's farmers Butchery that is able to meet this new requirement.

One call will meet your needs.
