Banemore welcomed agricultural policy officials from Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) economies this month who were visiting RMIT University at Hamilton as part of a capacity building training program, funded by AusAid, that considered food security and the development of sustainable agriculture. The first four days were convened in Melbourne. The group then travelled to the University’s rural campus in Hamilton. While visiting our Hereford stud delegates learnt about the history and principles of Breedplan and saw a working illustration of permanent ear tag identification used for food security and safety in the Australian beef industry.

The ‘Completeness of Performance’ herd rating has recently been introduced to assess the quantity of pedigree and performance information that has been submitted to breedplan by individual stud herds.
A simple 1-5 scale star rating is calculated based on the proportion of calves and number of performance traits recorded. Herds with 5 star rating are considered to be gold standard and are recording "complete" performance information submitted to Breedplan. Read more about Breedplan.
Banemore joins two other Hereford herds for 5 star completeness.
