Ribeye steaks_11095

This practical event, run by AHDB Beef & Lamb, allows you to handle live animals and make your assessment of fat cover and conformation using the EUROP grid.

You will then see the same animals on the hook in the chillers and the actual classification so you can compare the assessments made whilst the animals were alive.

There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss various market requirements, factors affecting killing out percentages and dressing specifications.

Attendees must be aged over 18. The event is free for levy payers and numbers are limited. Please contact the Carlisle office on 01228 523 034 to reserve a place.
