More than 1,000 farmers from across the country are set to descend on Dalswinton Estate on Tuesday for the first Scottish Beef Event in four years.
With a focus on sustainability, the major gathering will be officially opened at 10.15am by Fergus Ewing MSP, who was the rural economy minister from 2016 to 2021.
The event is an opportunity for those involved in the beef industry to discuss the unprecedented challenges it is facing today – a combination of climate change and biodiversity loss coming at the same time as Brexit and the repositioning of farm subsidies.
