Day 5

There was a stinker of a frost and our Queenslander after seeing it, can cross that off his list now.
We headed to Llanybydder to tour Danbia Abattoir. Danbia are owned by two Irish brothers and they own 10 sites across Britain and France. The company employs 3000 people. At Llanybydder they employ 500 people from all over the EU.They are the biggest lamb processor and 2nd for cattle.
The Welsh lamb season is from July to December.The lambs are sourced from 3500 farmers across UK. After this they import mainly NZ & some Australia lamb. These are chilled vac packed. They remove the lamb and cut it to the specifications of the sellers. They supply all of the Sainsbury’s Supermarkets meat.
