where I live there are no Halal butchers, there are plenty of butchers who use local grown produce.
the best meat in my opinion is that that is grown and fed only on grass or hay or silage during the winter, hay is preferable to silage.
of course for those lucky enough to live in new zealand south island beef can be reared outside all the year round.
that would be possible here in ireland if farmers went back to KERRY COWS [OR THE RELATED DEXTER]because they are hardier and can cope with being outside in ireland all the year round.
