Beef and lamb producers looking to maximise profits and improve livestock quality are invited to an exclusive Meat the Market workshop.
Taking place on Tuesday 11 February 2025, at 7.00 pm at the Buccleuch Arms, St Boswells, TD6 0EW, this essential event is hosted by Quality Meat Scotland.
This must-attend workshop is for producers who want insider knowledge on how to meet market demands and secure the best returns. Gain expert guidance on carcass grading for home-finished cattle and lambs, ensuring your livestock is sold at the optimal time for maximum profit.
Lesley Mitchell, Industry Development Co-ordinator at QMS, said: “Producers who understand the key factors that influence carcass quality and market value can significantly improve their returns. This workshop provides invaluable insights, direct from industry experts, on how to present livestock that meets processor requirements and avoids unnecessary downgrades.”
The evening will feature top industry speakers, including Adrian Crowe, an industry specialist who will break down market specifications, customer expectations, and best practices for presenting animals. Representatives from Dunbia, Highland Meats will reveal exactly what they look for when procuring livestock.
Adrian Crowe added: “This workshop provides a unique opportunity for producers to deepen their understanding of the entire supply chain, the differences between various types of cattle and sheep, and the hygiene standards required at both farm and abattoir. While focusing on the cost of production is vital for improving on-farm profitability, there are substantial opportunities to boost returns through strategic stock selection and presentation.”
In just two hours, you’ll gain crucial knowledge, meet fellow producers, and walk away with practical strategies to improve your returns.
