The plan had been to fund the freezing of bone-in joints to speed up pork processing before temporary butchery workers come from EU, when joints can be boned. But it’s too difficult to debone joints after freezing and consumers don’t like joints with bones.
So another Govt scheme fails, with terrible impacts on farmers and vets are now being asked to give pigs abortions. Appalling.
