Brands deliver to critical specifications and reduce risk, according to Shorthorn Beef, Business and Promotions manager, Graham Winnell.
“This allows brands to extract further value for both brand owners and end users,” Mr Winnell said.
Meat and Livestock Australia, analyst, Jarrod Lees told the audience quality control is improving the demand for the beef Shorthorn breeders are producing.
