British Blue Superior Carcase Sire Listing Scheme
30th August 2013
Following consultation with the industry, the Society
is pleased and proud to launch a ‘Superior Carcase Sire Listing
Scheme’. Animals listed will be of high genetic merit and will
provide a ‘Point of Reference’ for both purchasers of quality
Terminal Sires and meat procurement officers seeking carcases sired
by bulls with a potential for grow and carcase quality and yield. The
Society is very pleased to have received endorsement of the scheme
by EBLEX.
EBLEX is pleased to encourage and support the British Blue Cattle
Society’s new ‘Superior Carcase Sire’ initiative
and is very happy to encourage the flow of quality genetics into the
beef chain; the resulting improved efficiency, for both producer and
retailer, whilst also contributing to a reduction in the industry’s ‘carbon
footprint’, is a very positive and innovative step in the right
direction.
