United Kingdom-Council to fatten cattle for beef at school meals.

Bristol council is considering raising cattle to supply schoolsSchool children in Bristol could soon be eating beef reared specifically for the council for their lunches.

Councillors are discussing buying a 200-acre field for cows to graze on.

A council spokesman said producing the beef would reduce the number of food miles and have a "powerful educational impact" in schools.

A feasibility study, funded by Natural England, will now be carried out to recommend what breed of cattle.

Under the "Bristol Beef" plan the city council will supply meat to nearby schools under the healthy schools programme, with any surplus could be offered to restaurants.
