IT IS critical that farmers are able to maintain the size of the island’s Guernsey cow herd, according to the president of the island’s agricultural association.

BACK in 1984, Wendy’s burger chain in the United States launched a TV ad campaign to promote the size of its filling compared with rivals. It derided a competitor’s ‘home of the big bun’ product by getting a little old lady to poke it and demand: where’s the beef?

THE States are spending nearly £200,000 a year incinerating cattle that could be eaten locally.

BURNING Guernsey’s unwanted cattle is a scandalous waste of food, according to the UK director of the Soil Association.
