Today the show is FIVE YEARS OLD! ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
A huge thank you to everyone who's been on the podcast over the past five years - you're all amazing.
When we started, we took this awful photograph, so last night we went out to take this new, maybe actually worse, photograph.
If you're in the UK and struggling to get petrol tonight, simply fill up that tank with rich beef gravy. It'll absolutely fuck up your engine but the smell will be divine.
Men, your dream girl isn't on dating apps or at a nightclub, she's:
~ At the cattle market
~ Running for election to the executive council of the Bovine Farmers' Union
~ Buying bull semen online
~ Shoulder-deep in a pregnant belted galloway
~ Dealing with a bovine TB outbreak
Men, your dream girl isn't on dating apps or at a nightclub, she's:
~ At church
~ At the farmer's market
~ In the library
~ In a bookstore
~ Sipping a whole milk latte in a cute cafe
~ Baking sweet treats for loved ones
~ Spending time in nature
We know it can be hard to recommend B&DN to friends. Hard to explain.
So here's a guide.
1. Put one hand on their shoulder.
2. Look deep into their eyes.
3. Whisper...

"It's the Netflix of beef".
We are sad to learn of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. We remember her steadfast promotion of British farming and of course her appearance on the Cheese & Onion Christmas special where she hurled a piping hot beef flan at Harold Wilson.
R.I.B.
nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how โbusy you wereโ
- how many hours you worked
people will remember:
- the time you left a gate open and 180 cows escaped and ran down Cumberfeld high street, destroying the town centre before being rounded up by the police and torched
Not beef related but we've just been in contact with a very worried farmer who is missing 30-50 hogs. He's beside himself with worry. If you have any information please let us know so we can pass it on.
If Twitter goes, you know where you can find us: in the eyes of every child as they taste beef for the first time. In the light playing across the surface of a pail of freshly milked gold top. At the Montgolfier Golf Hotel & Golf Course & Golf Course at this year's Beefhead Ball.
There's been a bit of talk on here about what episode a new listener should start with, and we just want to say that the discussions are missing the point: it's completely futile to listen to ANY episodes without first reading the printed magazine.

Last month's episode was specifically made to be accessible to those trying the podcast for the first time. This month's upcoming episode... the pendulum has swung the other way.
If you want the REAL story, play this advert backwards.
Lamb has CLEAVED deep divisions between the generations.
Lamb has TORN up the social contract.
Lamb has RUINED Australia.
Thanks to the Guardian for mentioning us today. As media organisations of a similar size and stature we feel a certain grudging respect for eachother, like Messi and Ronaldo, the USSR and China in the 1980s, or Michael Banyan and Jonathan Franzen.
We're still processing this. As you can imagine we've been shaken by this news. It's hard to know how to respond.
We had an assurance from the Royal Family that the signature dish for the coronation would be a beef gondola floating on a "canal" of piping hot beef gravy.
SO THERE WAS THIS WOMAN CALLED CAROL AND SHE WAS EMPLOYED AS AN ACTOR TO BE BIMPSIE BUT SHE ACTUALLY WAS BIMPSIE AND NOW BIMPSIE HAS GONE BACK TO THE COSMOS TO BEGIN HER NEXT INTERGALACTIC ADVENTURE
Delighted to finally be able to announce that we've reached agreement with the owners of this foghorn and it will play episodes of Beef and Dairy Network non-stop 9am-6pm Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm on weekends.
We're off for the day! To eat more healthily is one of the top New Year's resolutions with 32% of us planning to do so. But what has been on your plate in 2019? Let us know, and we'll get back to you in the morning!
Babe are you okay? You haven't touched your texas style diet pig milk with black bean beefy chunks laced with egg liqueur cherry with a parsley twist sports edition extra cold.
It's time to open the twelfth door on the Beef and Dairy advent calendar.
What lurks within the festive orifice?
It's five more years of Conservative government.
The word "beef" appears only three times in Prince Harry's book, Spare.
1. "William sent me to the ground with a punch to the sternum and a kick up the arse, then he began slapping me around the face with a large piece of beef."
Beef knows nothing of the passing of years. Milk flows without reference to the earth's cosmic progress. Beef is the method by which human society marks our years and counts down our days but beef has no beginning nor end. Eternal beef โค๏ธ
After the coronation, King Charles will be sequestered in a private chamber in Buckingham Palace where the crown will be removed and the secretary of Bovine Farmers' Union, flanked by a dozen eunuchs, will present his official beef hat.
Hello! If you listen to the podcast on BBC Sounds, our current agreement with them has come to an end and they've decided not to renew. If you'd like to transition to receiving the podcast by cassette-by-mail, send a stamped addressed envelope to Beef & Dairy Network HQ. ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
Prince Philip was famously a huge fan of entertainment double act Cheese & Onion. Indeed along with George Harrison he funded their first movie, Round The Back With Cheese & Onion, which is still banned in over 100 countries. He'll be missed. Beef out. ๐๐ฝ
The Great Gatsby goes into the public domain in Friday, clearing the way for us to re-release the novel with every instance of the words "old sport" changed to "my old beef pal". It's going to be huge.
It's time to open the fifteenth door on the Beef and Dairy advent calendar.
When we peel away the cardboard shroud, what will face us, born anew?
It's beef.
People who think that Boris Johnson is in a position where he has to resign need to remember how long Pauline Roast hung on at the top of the Bovine Farmers Union after losing the confidence of the committee.
Tell that to the thousands of agricultural workers and keen amateur enthusiasts who rely on our compelling mix of entertaining and informative features about the latest developments in the world of beef and dairy.
Interesting titbit on Lis Truss's resignation: despite being in office for only 44 days, she will still take delivery of the weekly barrel of beef that all former Prime Ministers receive.
This local radio interview tactic from British PM Liz Truss has clearly backfired. Should have come on Beef and Dairy Network. For the right price we'll really soft-pedal an interview: that's our guarantee.
Big thanks to the Guardian for writing about us this week.
Brave of them to hype a rival but it is Christmas so maybe it's a football in no man's land situation.

The nice people at
@Stitcher
have got confused and included us in their "Comedy Week" promotion. We're a industry-facing podcast about the beef and dairy industries, but thanks!
HEAT WAVE TIPS ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
in association with the UK Meat Marketing Board.
1. Make yourself a huge piping hot pan of beef and onions and eat it under the midday sun.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
We owe the actor Ted Danson 29 tons of grain,
And the total continues to rise,
There's no prospect of us realistically paying this off,
So what now?
Delete your dating apps and meet someone the old-fashioned way, by locking eyes with them through a perspex screen at the British Beef Council annual dinner and barn dance.
Good to hear that Rishi Sunak is scrapping a meat tax that he never proposed in the first place. That's how you know they really don't want to tax meat. But where is the promised newborn beef box and the under 16's beef credit? The universal tripe dividend?
We are one of 12 Founding Clubs of the European Super League. Which is going to be interesting because we aren't a football team, we are a podcast about the latest developments in the beef and dairy industries.
As with all advent calendars, we forgot to open the doors for the past few days. So time to open 20, 21 and 22.
What trio of fun waits for our trembling hands?
It's beef.
It's beef.
It's beef.
Many Network members will enjoy watching the England men's football team play in a big final this evening.
But it will be bittersweet.
Yet another reminder that Wembley is being wasted.
Please - dig two holes. Saddle ten cows. Polish the lances. Release a pig.

Adele says that you shouldn't shuffle the tracks on an album, we say that you should listen to Beef and Dairy Network in a reversing Hyundai i10. Respect the makers. โค๏ธ
