Three Hundred Cattle on Display
at Beef Expo 2009
A record 24 beef breed societies have reserved exhibition space to demonstrate the merits of their breeds for commercial beef production and 60 cattle have been entered for the National Spring Spectacular Show being held at Beef Expo.
In addition, a new show for pedigree calves has attracted an entry of 26 and 7 youngsters will be taking part in a cattle preparation competition.
“These new competitions will give Beef Expo an added dimension this year and ensure there is something for everyone at this year’s event”, said event organiser, Euan Emslie.
“The demonstrations by a record 24 beef breed societies confirms Beef Expo as the premier event for the UK beef industry and will give commercial beef farmers a unique opportunity of viewing and assessing the variety of breeds available in the UK.”
