Whilst as farmers we may all look at farm-gate prices regularly as a proxy for the health of the industry (and therefore our farm business), in reality, focussing on margins on-farm can be key to ensuring financial sustainability.
The annual assessment Warrendale conducts is a way to understand the cost of production of raising Wagyu cattle, by stage and overall as a supply chain. Here, we share some of our 2025 findings and what they can mean for you and your business.
This webinar includes insights into how we collected and analysed the data, along with some key points of focus for your farms. It is also a chance to understand what Warrendale is doing for you as a result of the Cost of Production exercise and how it plays into conversations with retailers like Aldi.
Warrendale Managing Director Tom Richardson and Production Director Jamie Brownrigg are joined by consultants Jennifer Buckle and Jake Nixon from GSC Grays to discuss the findings. Watch now below.
