In 2018, HCC was awarded funding for a major 5-year strategic initiative.
This Red Meat Development Programme aims to equip the red meat sector for the future; promoting efficiency, profitability and sustainability throughout the supply chain, and ensuring a high-quality traceable product that future consumers will want.
It will consist of three strategically important projects: Stoc+, the Hill Ram Scheme and Welsh Lamb Meat Quality which focus on animal health, genetics and meat-eating quality.
