BEEF farmers, meat buyers and industry experts came together in Devon at the eagerly awaited Beef & Growing Cattle South West, held at Hatherleigh Livestock Centre. This one-day event showcased the very best in beef and cattle production in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Gloucestershire, Dorset and Wiltshire.
It was sponsored by Meat South West, EBLEX (English Beef & Lamb Executive), Southern Counties Fresh Foods, Mole Valley Farmers, Dectomax, Keenan and Nat West.
The region has 25 per cent of the national dairy herd and 11 per cent of the national beef herd. As a result Beef & Growing Cattle South West has catapulted onto the farming calendar to become an unmissable event for all beef producers and meat buyers nationwide. Bill Harper, chairman of the NBA South West said: "The event was designed to attract a wide cross section of beef producers and meat buyers across the whole industry. The aim was to see, learn and do business!"
