How can hybrid vigour benefit beef and dairy supply chains? Expert speakers explored the issues and insights of an integrated beef supply chain at the BCBC conference.

Mole Valley Farmers, the UK's leading agricultural supply and rural retailing business, is proud to sponsor the British Cattle Breeding Club's Annual Conference 2023.

Producing functional cattle that perform well and thrive in farming systems was the focus of the third conference session, with improved herd health for increased fertility explored.

Sustainable breeding is about more than net zero, with profitability, welfare and consumer perception all needing consideration, expert speakers told the conference.

With meat and milk production under growing scrutiny, the first session of the BCBC Conference 2023 asked delegates: is it time for change in how the industry responds?

BCBC announced plans for its next conference, held in Telford from 23 to 25 January 2023, themed 'Challenging Traditions' with a programme designed to provoke fresh thinking.

BSAS is delighted to announce Professor Phil Garnsworthy as recipient of the prestigious Sir John Hammond Award 2022, relaunched in 2021 with the British Cattle Breeders Club.

UK dairying has a fantastic opportunity to lead the way and be part of the climate solution, said First Milk's sustainability director Mark Brooking at the BCBC conference.

Increasing global methane emissions are a big driver of climate change, but UK agriculture is no longer contributing, Professor Myles Allen of Oxford told the conference.

Beef farming is part of the solution to climate change, but innovation and change are needed to achieve its potential, said Professor Jonathan Statham of RAFT Solutions.

Climate change is real, it is staring us in the face, said Ballymena beef farmer and vet Billy O'Kane, describing the last seven years as the warmest years on record.

The right breed and management can reduce a beef herd's carbon footprint by 40%, according to Seth Wareing, Business Manager of Stabiliser Cattle Company.
