Call To Protect Scotch Beef's Status
UK - The Scottish Beef Cattle Association (SBCA) has been in existence for little more than six months, but the organisers of its first large-scale event - The Beef Fayre staged yesterday in Lanark auction mart - must have been delighted, not just with the attendance, but also with the high level of commitment to this vital sector of the farming industry north of the Border.It was not an easy divorce, but the SBCA now has in excess of 500 members encompassing most of the leading players in the beef sector. But, more importantly, the SBCA now has the ear of the Scottish Executive in regard to major decisions.
Cameron said: "We felt it was time to do our own thing and become seriously involved in helping to define the future of this vital component of the Scottish economy.
