The Greenham Dairy Beef Program is an exciting initiative that is adding value to Dairy x Beef cattle. Trials undertaken by Greenham https://www.greenham.com.au/greenham-dairybeef-on-farm-trials/ have shown equivalent growth rates and eating quality to straight bred beef cattle but with a much lower carbon footprint because these cattle are a co-product of the dairy industry meaning their emissions are spread over a greater total yield of food.
Greenham have developed markets with key domestic and international customers who are looking to reduce their Scope 3 emissions https://www.workforclimate.org/post/whats-the-difference-scope-1-2-and-3-corporate-emissions?
This is great news for us as producers as there is a tangible demand for our cattle where the customer will pay a premium because our cattle are helping them to meet their climate commitments whilst not giving up any growth efficiency or eating quality.
All of the calves produced by Gunningham Family Farms are Greenham Dairy Beef Scheme Eligible. Ask us for more details.
