S1 E16: Signature Beef’s Blair Angus - soon to be Australia’s newest red meat processor

In this week's episode of The Weekly Grill podcast series, host Kerry Lonergan turns up the heat on Signature Beef founder and soon to be meat processor, Blair Angus.

Beef industry leaders and entrepreneurs Blair and his wife Josie are undertaking the biggest risk of their business lives in establishing their own meat processing business on their property near Clermont in Central Queensland.

In this wide-ranging discussion, Blair shares their vision for the project, some innovative new practises he hopes to embed in its operations including a novel form of tenderstretching carcases, and the new business's focus on "the customer, rather than throughput." "If we wanted to chase throughput, we would very quickly sink into the commodity beef game, and that's a dangerous place to play," he says.
