Clearly he worked out exactly what was required to win, as on his third visit he walked away with the Waikato - Bay of Plenty Under 20 title. The competition at Wintec in Hamilton saw each of the contestants required to complete a 30 minute written theory exam, an interview with Retail Meat ITO representatives and lastly a 90 minute practical section. While he had no idea what to expect in the theory and interview, Ben could at least have control over what he was doing for the practical. Preparation was es- sential so he spent two months training, 2-3 times per week, to refi ne his ideas and perfect cuts for his display. At the competition SEAT Ben was given a whole rump of beef, a pork loin sspecialpecial and a size 16 chicken as the basis for his display. He could use other items to complement it and was given the measurements for the table it was to go on - the rest was up to him. oorr While most of the others took around an hour to create the cuts of meat and complete their display, Ben fi nished with just a WAIKATO - BOP U20 Young Butcher of the Year Ben Bain at work in Magills minute and a half to Butchery with one of his trainers, Steve Derbyshire (rear). 243069AD spare. and advice he has re- regularly encounters a Ben is the national from $ He says this was be- ceived during his three wide variety of work. fi nal in Auckland on + GST cause he used several years at Magills. “We have both whole- October 10 and he’s 116565 each more complicated cuts “I am lucky to work sale and retail sections certainly not resting on such as beef noisettes, in a butchery that has here and we prepare his laurels. while stocks last pork cocoons and great trainers like meat for both home and “I’ll be spending the stuffed chicken breasts Steve Derbyshire and commercial use. next six weeks refi ning PHONE which took longer to Mitchell Lang. “The restaurant trade my practical section - 07 872 0291 prepare. “They are happy to requires a number of hopefully I’ll have more He fi nished off the share their knowledge gourmet cuts, so I was than a minute and a Farm Machinery Centre display with props such and we have respect for able to present cuts at half to spare at the na- as wine and fl owers. each other.” the competition that tionals!

Mrs Keyte says she had been considering a revamp for the shop for some time and other new frontages around town conﬁ rmed her thoughts. “I’m really pleased with the results already and once the ﬁ nishing details are complete it will be a much nicer entranceway.” The change is also a good way to mark 20 years in business for Mrs Keyte. She originally took over the store with her late husband Oliver when they were farming at Arohena. “At that time the store catered for children from birth to 14 years old, but we have since specialised in the younger age group.

The store is really a one stop shop with bassinets,

Cloth nappies, which are making a comeback, are also stocked. “We have had quite a 243TC046-06 demand for cloth nappies in recent months. Parents are starting to move away from the disposable versions because of their environmental impact.” Little Bo Peep offers a three month layby service Rain Boots and free local delivery of larger items.
