Highlighting the benefit of British red meat during Ramadan
|
|
|

During Ramadan (28 February–30 March), British Muslim TV, in conjunction with Shazan Food Ltd., will release a special 30-day digital series on social media featuring British lamb, beef, dairy and cereals.
Across the series, we will be demonstrating a variety of recipes as well as highlighting our successful marketing campaign – Lets Eat Balanced – promoting the use of British lean red meat and dairy as part of a healthy, balanced meal when Muslims break their fast during Ramadan.

Global appetite for beef helps value of UK red meat exports hit record level
|
|
|
|
In 2024, the global appetite for beef helped the value of the UK’s red meat exports reach its highest level, worth £1.77 billion.
Full-year figures from HMRC show that in 2024, red meat exports, including offal, surpassed the previous record set in 2022, underpinned by the performance of beef shipments to Europe and further afield.

RamCompare hits major milestone
|
|
|
|
|
The RamCompare project is celebrating its tenth year and is seeking new rams to join the 2025 breeding season.
The national progeny test, joint-funded by AHDB and Hybu Cig Cymru (HCC), needs rams or semen from performance-recorded terminal sire breeds; nominations close on Friday 16 May 2025.
Find out how to provide rams or semen
The initiative is also seeking new commercial farms to join the project. Host farms provide around 300 commercial ewes of a uniform breed type, which are mated to terminal sire rams provided by the project using single-sire, natural-service mating groups or artificial insemination (AI).

The Beef & Lamb Roadmap sets out the environmental ambitions for the sector in England and Wales as we work towards reaching net zero by 2050, alongside other environmental goals, in a way that does not threaten UK food production and ensures economic sustainability of the sector.
