CRC Chief Executive Officer Professor Bernie Bindon said the Cattle and Beef Quality CRC's mission was to develop world-class research and education programs to address the major consumer issues that influence the economic future of the Australian beef industry. Professor Bindon said Mr Fry's expertise and passion for the Australian beef industry was well known at a local and national level. His involvement with the CRC at a national level will ensure that the interests of Western Australian beef producers are best represented and their needs served effectively through CRC outcomes. Professor Bindon said the Store Steer School, which is strongly supported by industry, aims to provide a practical and topical training package to assist beef producers and key clients produce efficient feeder stores with inherent high meat eating quality. This initiative is designed to provide one of the best training schools available to the beef industry and is linked to the CRC's nutrition, health and meat science research.
