Composite cattle the future of British beef?

What could be more traditional than Great British beef? Theres no doubt, however, that continuing to produce British beef efficiently requires an innovative approach.

A good example is one beef breeder whos planning to attend the National Beef Associations Beef Event at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester on Sept 14.

Conscious that suitable suckler cows are a declining breed, he is focusing on a fresh approach using composite cattle.

He is just one of a growing group of producers who recognise that sharing know-how will contribute positively to the future of the beef industry. See our Livestock Section for details.
