BEEF SCHEMES EXPLAINED
The Tesco Integrated Beef Scheme - TIBS In addition to the Tesco Sustainable Dairy Group (TSDG) and the Tesco Cheese Group (TCG), Tesco operates the Tesco Integrated Beef Scheme (TIBS) which was established as an Aberdeen Angus scheme in 2012, a first for the beef industry. The scheme has developed steadily over the years, and now has around 1200 British beef farmers supplying Aberdeen Angus cattle for the Tesco Finest range, with a bonus received for prime carcases that meet certain criteria. Tesco are now looking to encourage the use of improved genetics and integration with TSDG and TCG herds with the aim of allocating elements of the TIBS final bonus payment for cattle sired by High Genetic Sires and that have come from TSDG or TCG farms. Tesco are initially looking for progeny of pedigree registered Aberdeen Angus bulls with Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) meeting defined thresholds (+40 Terminal Index and +50 Self Replacing Index).
The Buitelaar Group specialises in providing sustainable, higher welfare beef supply chain solutions. The strong and enthusiastic team and trusted relationships have secured Buitelaar’s position as a conscientious leader in cattle integration. Using Buitelaar approved sires gives the best chance of producing better quality calves required by the supply chain returning a higher premium to the producer.
Meadow Gold Meadow Quality market young calves and reared calves, working year-round with Red Tractor approved dairy and beef farmers, striving to meet the requirements of all stakeholders in the supply chain. The experienced Field Team are on hand to offer impartial advice, guidance and support in all areas of livestock business. See the approved SUPERIOR SIRES listed in the Semex range – premiums available for calves that qualify.

THE BEEF CARCASE TRAIT PROJECT The Beef Carcase Traits Project, funded by AHDB and HCC, uses data derived from the British Cattle Movement Service (BCMS), abattoirs and breed societies to produce EBVs for traits of economic importance to commercial beef producers. A bull’s EBVs give you a good idea of the genetic potential that will be passed on to his calves and should be taken into consideration when choosing sires. Since 2018, carcase trait EBVs have been produced on a quarterly basis by SRUC/EGENES from a dataset of over seven million carcase records.
HOW TO READ THE CHARTS This Carcase Traits chart shows EBVs as horizontal red bars. Bars to the right of centre indicate fewer days to slaughter, heavier carcases, superior conformation, fatter carcases, and greater carcase growth.
