Quality Meat Scotland hits the road – meet us at marts across Scotland

The Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) team is heading to livestock marts around the country this autumn – and we’d love you to stop by for a chat.

These visits are a chance for farmers, auctioneers and industry professionals to speak directly with the QMS team, ask questions, and learn more about our internationally recognised Quality Assurance Schemes. Covering the entire red meat supply chain, our schemes showcase Scotland’s world-leading standards in animal welfare, production and traceability.

Kathryn Kerr, Head of Brands Integrity at QMS, said: "We’re really looking forward to meeting with farmers, auctioneers and industry stakeholders across Scotland. These market days give us the perfect opportunity to connect face-to-face, answer questions, and explain how our assurance schemes work.
We’re here to support our members and the wider community – so whether you’re already involved or simply curious, come and say hello.”

The QMS mart visits are part of our strategy to position Scotland as the premium choice for red meat, ensuring those at the heart of the industry are informed, involved and supported.
