Westmoor Beef Shorthorns ©Penny Paisley
After six years of working alongside
the Beef Shorthorn Society, Morrisons
is excited to share the news of a new
Shorthorn branded beef product that
will be launched in selected Morrisons
stores by September. The news comes
as we re-launch our Beef Shorthorn
scheme with new premiums of up to
25p/kg as of August 2016.
The Beef Shorthorn is renowned for
its eating quality characterised by its
marbling which influences its rich, tender
and succulent flavour. Our new carcase
specification targets uniform cattle that
will create a consistent product, which our
customers purchase time and time again.
If you are interested in supplying cattle
into the Morrisons Beef Shorthorn supply
chain, please contact your local buyer.

Welcome to
Farming Matters
Joe Mannion, Head of Livestock Procurement,
introduces Farming Matters.
W
elcome to our summer edition
of Farming Matters
Livestock prices have remained volatile since
our last newsletter, however recently we have seen
prices across all species moving upwards. Demand for
good quality beef, pork and lamb has improved and
we are pleased to say that volumes have increased in
Quarter 1 with our cattle production up 10% year on
year which is very pleasing.
Heavy cattle continue to be an issue across the industry
and due to the increased demand for fixed priced steaks,
the need for lighter more consistent cattle is more
important than ever.
I’m pleased to announce that Morrisons will be
launching a range of Dry Aged Shorthorn beef under
our ‘Best’ range from September. If you would like to
join our Shorthorn producer group please get in touch
with your local buyer to find out about the scheme.
Also in 2016 we have seen local pork and beef ranges
established in Lincolnshire stores and the range is
selling exceptionally well, with other regions to follow.
We will once again be welcoming our suppliers to our
hospitality area at the Great Yorkshire show on the
12 – 14 July and hope to see you there.
I hope you enjoy reading this
edition of Farming Matters.

Morrisons FARMING MATTERS Summer 2016
VIA
Grading
on
cattle
Visual Imaging Analysis (VIA) grading of cattle has
been live in the UK Beef industry since 2014 and other
processors for over 5 years.
On the whole the VIA replicates what a human does, but
with a more consistent method. The VIA machine will
replicate the same results no matter what time of day,
month of the year or where the VIA machine is.
The system was introduced at our Turriff abattoir in 2015
and since the installation we have been busy evaluating the
kit and making sure that we are happy with the quality of
grades the automatic grader is processing. As we continue
to test the carcase grading quality we are excited to be
making progress and hope to have the system live
in 2017.
When the system does go live, all cattle will be paid to a
15 point grid which will enable more definitive premiums
and discounts on specific grades.
David Evans, Agricultural Manager for Morrisons, states:
“Our suppliers have asked us to look at VIA as it potentially
provides more consistent grading. The installation at Turriff
is allowing us to fully evaluate the technology and we are
confident that we can move onto VIA grading within the
next 12 months.”
Our new regional product ranges
Following feedback from our customers,
one of Morrisons’ business targets is to
‘deliver more local solutions’.
Customers and the general public are
becoming more and more aware of, and
interested in the origin of their food.
Information is now more freely available,
including both positive and negative press
and dubious ‘facts.’ Younger generations
are increasingly conscious of what they
are eating, as well as knowing where their
food has come from and how it has been
reared. ‘Food miles’ are now important to
customers, as are livestock journey times
and other aspects of animal welfare.
As a part of this solution, 2016 has seen
the launch of regional ranges – starting
with Lincolnshire beef and pork. Up to 200
cattle and over 2,000 pigs per week are
killed on their doorstep in our Spalding
plant and sold over the butchery counter
in Morrisons stores in Lincolnshire.
All cuts are available in the Lincolnshire
beef and pork range, and some bespoke
regional products have been developed,
such as Lincolnshire Pig’s Fry, with
Lincolnshire Chipolatas and Lincolnshire
Sausage Meat to be launched shortly.
Feedback from customers has been positive.
They like being able to buy local meat and
it fits with the Market Street ethos.
There are plans in the pipeline to develop
more local beef and pork ranges for our
Morrisons stores. Look out for the new
local ranges in a store near you!

At Morrisons we believe that consumer
eating quality is a major influence on
repeat purchase of a product. It is of
great importance to us to therefore
ensure that we review eating quality
as a business and benchmark our meat
against competitiors, including EU meat.
Eating

Progression
in Pork
In 2015, the number of cattle holdings
affected by new TB breakdowns
in England was almost 4,000,
with each breakdown costing an
estimated £20,000 to the taxpayer
and over £10,000 to farmers. An
estimated 50% of breakdowns
in low risk areas are caused by
purchased animals. [Defra, 2015]
November 2015 brought the launch of
a joint Government and Industry TB
Biosecurity Campaign to increase the
understanding and uptake of biosecurity
measures. The campaign includes
new tools and advice to help farmers
Within our meat quality programme we have
recently been focusing on pork. After several
assessesments through our meat quality
centre and quality taste panels we are happy
to announce our work with JSR Genetics on
improving eating quality of our Morrsions pork.
To do so, we are working with our current
supply chain who use JSR genetics, to use a
specific JSR sire line that enhances the eating
quality of our pork. With this scheme, Morrisons
is able to reduce the variation in our pork
quality and generate a great eating experience
that customers enjoy time and time again.

aim of promoting action and helping
farmers and vets protect herds from

“Biosecurity and risk based trading are
important in the management of all
infectious diseases whether that is BVD,
Johne’s disease or bovine TB. These new
initiatives are an important part of the
25-year strategy to eradicate bovine
TB. Combining wildlife controls with
biosecurity and risk based trading will
allow us to make significant inroads in
the fight against bovine TB. The bovine
TB biosecurity drive gets underway as
over half of England is on track to become
officially TB free within five years.”

Morrisons FARMING MATTERS Summer 2016
New wagon washes installed at Colne and Spalding
In order to improve our facilities and meet industry standards, we have installed new
wagon wash facilities at our Colne and Spalding sites. The installation helps to prevent cross
contamination from livestock vehicles, in particular those transporting pigs. The wash bays
are enclosed on the sides to prevent cross contamination from spray from a dirty wagon
transferring onto cleaned vehicles. We hope this move will help to minimise spread of
diseases and be a welcome investment.
The facilities have been designed to incorporate all of the British Meat Processors Association
(BMPA) requirements, so that we can sell our pork as British. In order for us to maintain our
BQAP status, “all pig livestock vehicles shall be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected prior to
leaving the site.” [BMPA Pork Scheme]
The new washes are coin-operated, and are for both washing and disinfecting, on a timed system.
The hose reels are contained so that they are protected from temperature extremes to ensure
operations can continue throughout winter.
Stonehills Beef Shorthorns
Geoff Riby has been farming at
Stonehills Farm near Bridlington
for over 25 years, after coming out
of dairy 15 years ago. By chance, he
bought a few Beef Shorthorn cows
and soon realised what wonderful
sucklers they make; easy to calve,
milky and fertile, and before long grew
to keeping 50 pedigree Shorthorn
cows, extended by his retained
heifers and fattening bullocks.
Geoff farms with his son Christopher and
a full time farm employee who carries
out a lot of the arable work. All feed is
grown on the farms’ arable land and little
is bought in. To make best use of his land,
Geoff farms his Shorthorn herd on 100
acres of a low input grazing stewardship
scheme. The herds’ superb foraging ability
makes the land ideal, and in the winter
the herd is brought in and fed solely on
silage. All calves are born in a tight 8 week
period starting in February. The cows’
high fertility, milk yield and calving ease
means they nearly always achieve a 99%
rearing percentage. The calves are weaned
mid October, with steers weighing an
average of 320kg and heifers 295kg. The
overall role of the Stonehills herd is to
produce bulls for breeding as well as
heifer replacements. The bulls that are not
retained for breeding are castrated and
sold direct onto the Morrisons Shorthorn
Beef Scheme at an average CCW of 320kg.
Aside from the beef and arable, between
Geoff and Chris they have a flock of 150
pedigree Texel and pedigree Suffolk
sheep, which they sell both privately and
in the sale ring. As if Geoff isn’t busy
enough he was also elected President of
the Beef Shorthorn Society in February of
this year, a postion he holds for 2 years.
Geoff explained: “There are exciting
times ahead within the Beef Shorthorn
Society in 2016, and especially the
progression that has been made
with Morrisons to get a Shorthorn
Beef Range into their supermarkets
- its been a long time coming.”
All of this comes after the Beef Shorthorn
Society has reported yet another record
uptake for 2015. Registrations increased
by 8.92%, adding to the five year trend –
up by over 39% since 2010. Furthermore,
those trends are mirrored in the 2016
BCMS published data which shows that over
the last seven years, UK Beef Shorthorn
and Beef Shorthorn cross populations
have increased by a massive 64%, on
top of a membership increase of 11%.
In addition to this, Geoff explains that:
“In a pressured industry, the Shorthorn
is a cheap and economic replacement
option and we welcome new breeders and
commercial farmers alike to our sales.”

In the retail world, every product we sell has to be driven by consumer demand. Consumers today have
an extraordinary choice when it comes to their meals.
As choice grows, meat is becoming a smaller part of consumer purchases and often health, affordability and
ethics drive meat choices. EBLEX (2012) data: “The Shopping Decision Process for Meat” article examines
the factors that drive purchasing outcomes for red meat, with the top two being appearance and price.
six factors driving beef purchase outcome (Eblex, 2012)
We must ensure that we have a consistent product to
therefore hit specific price points that our consumers
demand and ensure that the meat looks good to the
consumer. To achieve this we must first ensure
that we deliver a consistent product to our
consumer that is of good quality every time.
To do so we need to reduce the variation of our
meat quality.
Recipe
Quality
Appearance
Pack size
Cut
Price
This means that as a retailer we need to prioritise;
reputation (quality consistency and expectation),
appearance and costs.
Variation is mainly caused by overweight carcases that
create a multitude of issues from end to end. From a
Morrisons perspective: in our Retail Packing Plant we use
precision steak slicing machines that put primals of beef or
pork into moulds and cut the steaks to an exact thickness.
This means that beef primals from overweight carcases
have to be trimmed, losing a percentage of the prime cut.
In addition, bigger carcases create bigger steak cuts which
are often priced above our retail price point, which puts
many customers off purchasing the meat, leading to further
waste and mark downs.
It costs roughly twice as much for a beast to lay down fat
than muscle, as cattle reach a maximum efficiency stage
within their life, called mature end weight; they stop laying
down muscle and only lay down fat. At this point, dry
matter intake vs. body weight becomes stagnant and begins
to drop. Daily live weight gains drop off and the amount
of feed needed to produce this extra live weight increases
6
Morrisons FARMING MATTERS Summer 2016
significantly. As well as costing the farmer more in the long term, they will
also be penalised for overweight cattle.

Live weight
This can be replicated across beef,
lamb and pork, and overweight
carcases are bad news for both
farmer and processor: they don’t fit
a retail pack price, they are often
perceived as too fatty and too big
for the retail trays and overweight/
out of specification carcases reduce
the consistency. In addition, older,
heavier carcases compromise on eating
quality, which reduces the chance of
repeat purchase of Morrisons meat.
If the industry is to keep up with other
meat businesses, standardisation and
consistency is needed. Without this, our
customers will simply choose chicken
or fish instead. This is why we have
specific grids and weight restrictions
to attempt to get a more consistent
end product which is enjoyed every
time by our customer. In line with
this, Morrisons will soon be launching
a heifer beef range, using specific
weight and grade heifer carcases to
create a more uniform product.
RED TRACTOR
At Morrisons all of our fresh Beef,
Pork and Lamb must comply with
Red Tractor Standards, which
alongside animal welfare is
considered by our customers as
a highly important factor
of Buying British.
As an industry it is in our own
interest to ensure that we
preserve the image of the British
Farming Industry and reduce
the risks to all of our businesses.
We must stress the importance
of general farm and Red Tractor
practices, including animal
welfare, deadstock stored and
securely locked, locked medicine
cabinets, animal housing
and end of day practices.
We appreciate your support on
this and as always Morrisons are
100% committed to fresh British
Beef, Pork and Lamb and the whole
of the British farming industry.

Condemnation glossary
Rejections are recorded on the kill line by the Food
Standards Agency and fed back to suppliers via our website
www.morrisons-farming.com.
Many are common in more than one species, but are
listed under the species we see them most in.
Cattle
Abscess – caused by injecting with dirty needles.
Abcesses can occur on the gut wall, caused by abrasive
barley in the diet.
Actinomycosis or Lumpy Jaw – caused by bacterial
infection.
Cirrhosis – linked to liver fluke, can be the final stage
of fluke.
Fascioliasis (Fluke) – recorded as active or inactive, or
mature and immature, a parasitic disease caused by Fasciola
hepatica. Some flukicides do not treat the immature fluke,
which can then mature and cause damage to the liver.
Joint lesions – commonly arthritis.
Peritonitis – inflammation of the liver caused by bacteria
or virus.
Sheep
Abscess – caused by injecting with dirty needles.
Cysticercus ovis (C. ovis) – the cystic stage can affect the
full carcase and lead to rejection of the whole carcase.
Cysticercus tenuicollis – tape worm affecting the liver,
caused by feed contaminated by dog/ fox faeces.
Hydatidosis – affecting the liver, a parasitic disease caused
by dog tapeworm in its larval stage, the hydatid cyst.

Morrisons FARMING MATTERS Summer 2016
Joint lesions – commonly arthritis.
Trauma (bruising) – bruising from wool pool.
Pigs
Abscess – caused by infected fight wounds.
Erysipelas / diamonds – on the skin, caused by bacteria.
The whole skin is rejected. Develops in stages: chronic,
affecting the joints (arthritis), then septicaemia stage,
leading to rejection of the whole carcase.
Hydronephrosis – caused by a blockage in the kidneys
preventing urine from flowing out.
Joint lesions – commonly arthritis.
Milk spot (Ascariasis) – caused by roundworms.
Pericarditis – inflammation of the heart caused by
bacteria or virus.
Peritonitis – inflammation of the liver caused by
bacteria or virus.
Pneumonia and pleurisy – abscesses on the lungs /
inflammation of the pleurae, requires stripping of the pleura
or removal of the ribcage.
Tail bite – infection spreads in the blood stream and leads
to multiple abscesses throughout the carcase. Can lead to
condemning the whole carcase if abscesses are found in
two or more places on the carcase.
Tuberculosis (TB) – from the avian strain of TB.
All carcase data and condemnation information is available
on our website www.morrisons-farming.com from 6.30pm
on the day of kill. If you do not already have an account,

Alistair adds, “Although the time saving element is beneficial,
the main reason we like the kill data link is the instant

us to modify and improve purchasing.”
David Massey (pictured) manages Bark House Farm in
Winsford with his father – in – law Alistair Thorley.
The farm itself is mixed, spanning 400 hectares, the main
enterprises on farm are cattle and arable. Cattle breeds
managed are mainly continentals and a few native breeds
with arable concerns including potatoes, wheat,
oats, barley and maize.
Cattle Manager also produces a pre-populated FCI form which

“The type of crops grown and how we manage the
business changes in line with the market, we stay
flexible to meet current demand,” says Alistair.
“We’ve been using Cattle Manager from Farmplan
for around 5 years now. We made the decision to
begin using cattle management software as we
found that we were under increasing pressure to
provide accurate records on demand, particularly
regarding cattle movements and details of the
animals in the herd. It made sense to choose
software to help with this as it’s easy to use and
all this information is in one place.”
Cattle Manager can help users manage and
monitor animal performance as well as profit and
losses, keeping track of the animals on farm and
identifying those that are Farm Assured now and
highlighting those that become Farm Assured
whilst on farm.
He adds, “All our cattle records are kept in Cattle
Manager. Records are updated every time cattle
are moved with the help of a barcode reader. The
main advantage is full traceability and constant
knowledge of Farm Assurance as cattle are only
on the farm for a short duration.”
“We currently supply our beef to Morrisons via the
Woodhead Bros plant in Colne. We’ve been doing
this for 6 years, sending around 1850 animals to
Woodheads annually. We buy animals at anything
