Farmers are being told one day that the factories do not want black Limousin cattle but rather that they want red Limousin cattle. They are being told that they want white Charolais but not brown or grey Charolais. What is the difference in the bloody meat when the carcase is taken off them? That is why the farmer is being blackguarded and driven down to the ground. However, he will not stay much longer. I do not know the witnesses from the sky over them and have no personal gripe with any of them but I say to them and whoever is paying them that if they think that as a result of prices for farmers being kept down, there will be three of them here all the time, they will be reduced to two or one because it will not continue. That is the truth.
