Key PointsThe number of grazing livestock on UK farms is at an historically low level with significant numbers of producers leaving the industry. The growing shortage of breeding animals is leading to a reduced supply of product and contributing towards increased prices. This factor does however create opportunities for commercial livestock units.There are good opportunities for dairy producers who can secure the highest value contracts for their production, operate large units with good access for collection and have a high level of technical expertise.There is an increasing need for large-scale beef and sheep producers and collaborative ventures in order to achieve marketing scale.  For smaller producers premiums can be obtained via direct retailing, although to achieve this new skills and premises are required.
