We’ve teamed up with the Downtown Country/Cool FM Presenter and Tik Tok Influencer Victoria Quinn to encourage young people to get involved in this year’s intake for the ABP Angus Youth Challenge. Victoria will be filming a series of ‘shorts’ on her family farm including some tips on how to make a good video entry.

Check out our social media channels over the coming week and be sure to spread the word with anyone you know matches the entry criteria of 14-15 years of age in a school, club or society; or maybe even a group of friends.

They could be on their way to the Eikon Exhibition Centre this Halloween to compete against other teenagers for a place on our next skills development programme and of course become the proud owners of their own mini-herd of Angus calves.

Congratulations to our team from Down High School who has won NI Beef Week’s Best-Ever Beef Burrito Challenge. The competition was organised by ABP in conjunction with the Livestock & Meat Commission (LMC) in support of NI Beef Week which took place at the end of April. All schools in the ABP Angus Youth Challenge final were invited to compete against each other in the week-long activity to make beef burritos and educate their school community about the credentials of Northern Ireland Farm Quality Assured Beef. The team from Down High were very successful in engaging their schoolmates and the wider community in this initiative.

They were invited to receive their prizes from ABP, the LMC and Certified Irish Angus at this year’s Balmoral Show.

Thanks to Downtown Radio’ Victoria Quinn who collaborated with ABP Angus Youth and Ronan McLauglin, ABP Linden Food’s Development Chef on this fun initiative and for inspiring the pupils to compete in this meaty mini-challenge!
