Union Station Lamb best in country
2021
Union Station has been named Australia’s best lamb at the Royal Queensland Food & Wine Show. Union Station rack of lamb was named the Champion Branded Lamb of Show (Australia’s best lamb) in late May. Chief Judge of the Branded Beef and
Lamb Competition Elaine Millar said the overall quality of the beef and lamb entries were exceptional this year. “Due to the extraordinary marbling in both the beef and lamb entries, the uncooked visual judging was overwhelmingly the best we have ever experienced,” Ms Millar said. “Unlike any other year, there was extreme diversity in visual, flavour, texture and juiciness which provides a wonderful opportunity for retail, food service and ultimately the end diner to experience the multiplicity of taste sensations the seasons, regions and breeds bring to our plate.”
Midfield Protein Solutions - update
Oct 2021
Midfield’s new protein plant is expected to be fully operational within the next couple of months.
Kevin Banner said commissioning of the bovine and two ovine lines was currently underway. “During this process
we iron out any minor issues, such as adjusting set points on equipment, with the view of having the plant confirmed for full operation in six to eight weeks,” Kevin said.
“It’s such a big milestone to be at this point.” The protein plant will utilise the company’s waste heat to create a significant amount of the hot water required for Midfield’s operating needs. It incorporates a state-of-the-art biofilter air treatment system, which will prevent odours being emitted into the atmosphere.
The plant will produce high quality protein tallows and protein meal. It will enable the closure of the Levy’s Point facility, which has been operating since 1965. The establishment of the new Scott Street plant will remove about 200 truck movements from the road network each week and reduce the company’s greenhouse gas emissions by more than 100,000 tonnes per year.
