\"Pat<\/a>Here’s what they had to say, “Pat Whelan of James Whelan Butchers in Clonmel, Co Tipperary has launched what he claims are the world\u2019s first \u2018Beef Bonds\u2019, giving investors an alternative to financial markets.<\/p>\n

\n

The Beef Bond is a boxed certificate giving a share in one of Whelan\u2019s Angus, Hereford or Wagyu\/Kobe cattle. \u00a0Each bond displays the ID number, breed and expected maturity of the animal it is linked to.<\/p>\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.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 The bonds generally mature within 10 to 12 weeks of purchase, but shorter term bonds are available on request.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf an animal thrives better than expected and gains extra weight the investor will benefit with an extra supply of meat.\u00a0 In the case of the animal not doing as well, James Whelan Butchers will still guarantee the investor the predicted weight.\u00a0 This is a win win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being marketed as the ideal Christmas gift for family or for corporate clients, Bonds in Angus and Hereford cattle are \u20ac100 each, while bonds for the more exclusive Wagyu\/Kobe Bond start at \u20ac150.<\/p>\n

From his own farm in Co Tipperary, Whelan supplies meat for his shop in Clonmel, the James Whelan Butchers concession in the Avoca Food Market in Monkstown, and his award-winning online business.<\/p>\n

The Beef Bonds were launched\u00a0at the \u2018Eat Tipp\u2019 Dinner in Salt Restaurant in Monkstown, Dublin, which showcased the best of Tipperary food produce.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
