BRITISH LIVESTOCK SECTOR FLIES THE FLAG AT EUROTIER 2026

A dozen UK companies come together under the British Livestock banner in Hanover 10-13 November

With around 118,000 trade visitors from 155 countries and more than 2,100 exhibitors, EuroTier 2026 once again demonstrated its position as the world's leading trade fair for professional livestock farming at its showcase event in Hanover, Germany 10-13 November.

As an international business and knowledge platform, EuroTier offered UK companies opportunities to exchange expertise, explore opportunities and establish new business contacts – thanks to support funding from AHDB – all under the umbrella of the British Livestock Pavilion with the British Wagyu Association (BWA) being one of the participating companies. Although semen and embryo trade has continued largely unaffected since Brexit, the much-anticipated EU/UK realignment in 2027/28 gives a more positive outlook to reciprocal trade in breeding animals in the not-too-distant future.

Whilst at the event, British Wagyu representatives, Richard Saunders & Chris Wilkinson, were able to meet with their German counterparts from Haru Wagyu, Vornagelhof Wagyu, Jerathe Wagyu Genetics and Holstein Wagyu as well as with Italian Wagyu Consultant Alice Tappella.
