Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Beef Task Force: Discussion

Mr. Michael Dowling:

My understanding is the volume of beef that comes from feedlots is not enormous but obviously there is some. It is not eligible for a grass-fed label so to that extent there is a clear distinction between beef reared in a traditional fashion and beef which originates or comes from, in its final stage at least, feedlots.
