            The team from the English Beef and Lamb Executive (EBLEX) will
              be running a number of recorded bull selection demonstrations,
              live cattle selection displays and beef butchery events on its
              stand within the Better Returns Beef Feature.  
               
              EBLEX will also be encouraging English producers to sign up for
              future free EBLEX Beef BRP events and information.  
               
              Sheep farmers will be able to take part in Better Returns lamb
              selection demonstrations, discuss breeding strategies for ram and
              ewe selection and watch lamb butchery demonstrations in the Sheep
              BRP area within the NSA building opposite the Beef Feature on Fourth
              Street. 
               
              For exporters, advice and displays will be on hand at the British
              Livestock and Genetics Export Centre (Stand M404 on Avenue M) where
              EBLEX will join experts from Defra and the British Pig Executive
              (BPEX) to help those interested in international trade. 
               
              Chris Lloyd, EBLEX Industry Development Manager, said: “We
              want farmers to experience for themselves exactly what EBLEX is
              offering as part of its Better Returns events for the beef and
              sheep sectors. 
               
“There really is something for everyone, and our objective is to offer
simple, practical advice that producers can take home and put into action back
on the farm.”
