Bringing together the very best in British commercial and pedigree cattle, equipment, ground-breaking developments, and show classes for everyone involved in the industry, NBA Beef Expo is a celebration and exploration of everything British Beef has to offer.

The flagship event is being held at the new state-of-the-art auction, business and conference centre at Darlington Farmers Auction Mart, located two minutes off the A1 (junction 58). Beef Expo follows the renowned industry farm tours and beef industry barbecue taking place on Friday.

There is also a series of seminars during the day delivered by an impressive line-up of speakers, who are all world leaders in their field. These include Christine Middlemiss, UK’s Chief Veterinary Officer; Professor Alice Stanton noted specialist on the health benefits of red meat; and MP Daniel Zeichner, who currently serves on the Opposition frontbench as Shadow Minister for Food, Farming, Fisheries and Rural Affairs.
