Producing beef-dairy meat was the focus of an industry breakfast hosted by Farm World field days, held at Lardner Park on March 24.
Dairy farmers are being pushed to add beef-dairy meat production to their business models, as a revenue diversification stream and in response to global animal welfare concerns about slaughtering calves.
But it begs questions, and some of those were discussed at the industry breakfast at Farm World, and hosted by the Commonwealth Bank.
On the speakers panel at Farm World were entrepreneur Cameron Renshaw of Fulton Market Group, Sarah Bolton of HW Greenham & Sons, Brad Gilchrist from Semex Canada, and Commonwealth Bank of Australia national agribusiness director Carmel Onions.
The panel was facilitated by CBA’s regional and agribusiness banking executive manager Kate Wallis.
An analysis of this topic — which has been presented at a number of conferences in recent months — will be published in a future issue of Dairy News Australia.
