Beef Producers Forum 24th May

Fifth annual Beef Producers Forum shaping up to be best yet

Measuring and improving grazing systems is the focus of the 5th annual North West Beef Producers Forum running in Gunnedah on 24 May. 

Now in its fifth year, the beef forum is sponsored by Meat and Livestock Australia and has become a flagship event of the North West Local Land Services, said North

West Local Land Services Livestock Officer, Naomi Hobson. 

“We first started the forum in 2017 and it has been incredibly well supported by local beef producers and industry each year since," Ms Hobson said.  

“We know farmers have limited time to get off farm and attend workshop events. By running a full day event and incorporating the industry trade fair into the day, we can provide great value for farmers to invest in a day out. You'll be able to attend and hear about the latest research, new technology and tools, network with other producers, and enjoy a good feed while you're there!" 

The event is looking at practical tools to boost productivity, as well as getting outside the farm gate and looking at a broader industry perspective. 

“Alastair Rayner will be presenting on the CIBO Labs Feed Monitoring Database now available through MyMLA,” Ms Hobson said. 

"Edwina Warby from Black Box Co will also give a run down on their user-friendly data management tool that allows producers to easily compile and utilise their on-farm data and data from other sources like MSA. We will also be showcasing the livestock and ag-tech research trails that the North West LLS Ag team have been working on across the region, plus a whole lot more.” 

RSVP is essential, with early bird discounts available on ticket purchases.
