Beef Producers Jack and Emma Groat recently featured on the front page of Queensland Country Life when their decision to extend the Pasturefed Cattle Assurance System (PCAS) accreditation to their new operation at "Lorraine", Roma made news.
Already European Union Cattle (EU) accredited, Jack and Emma believe gaining PCAS accreditation for "Lorraine" should be a smooth process.
PCAS accreditation will give the Groat family more flexibility in the management of their cattle, with Jack quoted as stating:
"Under PCAS you can't let your cattle go onto oats once it comes out in head but that's not really a big deal because if your oats is out in head it usually means its a pretty good season so we can always use that crop and turn the cattle off into the EU system. The two markets aren't mutually exclusive.....being accredited for both means we can target whoever has the best money on the day. The more markets you can access the more control you have over your profits."
