The 2023 annual British Cattle Breeders Conference returns for a face-to-face gathering in Telford, UK Monday 23rd - Wednesday 25th January 2023.
The conference theme is 'Challenging Traditions' as chosen by BCBC current Chair Amy Hughes, which will challenge thinking on the way cattle are bred in Britain, promote discussion around how the industry can compete in the global marketplace and showcase how genetics and breeding practices can drive sustainability within British Agriculture. The conference attracts around 300 delegates over the 2 1/2 days, and covers both beef and dairy, with beef presentations on Tuesday (24th) and dairy on Wednesday (25th). There will be two workshops during the conference, the beef workshop will run on Monday (23rd) afternoon and a parallel workshop session on Tuesday afternoon for dairy farmers. 2023 will celebrate our 75th Anniversary, which will be celebrated during Tuesday's dinner, with a Champagne Reception followed by dinner, including a Champagne toast and a Charity Auction in aid of FCN with a guest speaker to finish the evening. The Club is currently inviting speakers and confirmed so far are Promar's John Giles, Edinburgh Uni's Geoff Simms, SAC's Lorna MacPherson, ABP's Richard Phelps, farmer Aled Evans, Notts Uni's Phil Garnsworthy and SRUC's Rainer Roehe. The Club is really excited to be back to a face-to-face event and look forward to welcoming you to Telford once again.
