Iron master craftsman's certificate for Friedrich Aumann / fled into the forest during the illegal slaughter

The 87-year-old Friedrich Aumann had a lot to tell at an extraordinary honor. He received the iron master's certificate. The ceremony took place in the company's own house, where master slaughterer Friedrich Wendte presented the certificate. The celebrant took the exam 65 years ago.

In the course of a season from October to April, Aumann processed around 150 pigs and ten cattle in Bierde, Raderhorst, Quetzen, Ilserheide and Lahde as a house slaughterer. "It was all over at the age of 75. I slaughtered my last pig and then gave up my tools," Friedrich Aumann looks back.

Butchers see themselves as well asserting themselves with over 4% less sales

The current mood in the butcher's trade is still very cautiously optimistic. It is true that the forecasts for an economic upturn are growing, but the spending behavior continues to be primarily price-oriented due to the rise in taxes and levies on the one hand and the cuts in services on the other.

The tax reform is hardly expected to stimulate demand, especially since it turned out to be less than originally planned and is associated with new burdens when visiting the doctor or pharmacy and reducing the commuter allowance.

Holland's veal production is growing

According to the relevant product boards, the profitability of veal production in the Netherlands improved noticeably in 2003. The prices for slaughter calves rose by around eleven percent compared to the previous year. The average yield for slaughter calves was around EUR 65 per animal above the result of the previous year. However, this higher yield was offset by additional costs for livestock and a three percent increase in feed costs. Higher stock of calves for slaughter

The last census in the Netherlands showed that the stock of calves for slaughter increased by around 2,6 percent to almost 732.000 heads compared to the previous year. Almost 77 percent of the animals counted are slaughter calves for the production of veal in the classic sense; with around 560.000 animals, the population even fell slightly compared to the last count. On the other hand, the proportion of older calves used for the production of so-called “rosé veal” has increased by around 12,8 percent.
