One innovative Tipperary butcher is giving Irish investors a tasty alternative to the troubled financial markets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pat Whelan, of James Whelan Butchers in Clonmel, will today launch what he claims is the world\u2019s first Beef Bonds. The bonds are specially boxed certificates that give a share in one of Whelan\u2019s Angus, Hereford or Wagyu\/Kobe cattle. Each bond displays the ID number, breed and expected maturity of the animal it is linked to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

An \u201cinvestor\u201d who buys one, or multiple share certificates, gets delivery of a box of various cuts of prime Tipperary beef on maturity. The maturing weight of the animal is predicted at the time of purchase, guaranteeing the buyer a yield. However, if the animal exceeds its predicted target, then the bond holder is in for an extra windfall of meat, Whelan said. The bonds generally mature within 10 to 12 weeks of purchase, but shorter term bonds are available on request.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bonds in Angus and Hereford cattle are \u20ac100 each, while bonds for the more exclusive Wagyu\/Kobe Bond start at \u20ac150.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
