Beef & Lamb Standards



The Red Tractor Farm Assurance scheme for beef and lamb production has standards are aligned with the other Red Tractor Farm Assurance schemes and encompass animal welfare, the environment, food safety and traceability. The basic welfare needs of sheep and cattle must not be compromised at any stage of their lives, and farmers must ensure that their farming practices do not damage the environment. Animals need to be identifiable and traceable back to their farms of origin, and moved in clean vehicles so that the beef and lamb produced is free from contamination and safe to eat.
