The dates are drawing closer for BeefEx, the major forum celebrating the Australian feedlot industry and Angus Youth members interested in the grain fed cattle feedlot sector are highly encouraged to apply for BeefEx 2022 scholarships. 

BeefEx is set to run from October 18-20, and the Angus Foundation will once again award two scholarships exclusively to Angus Youth members. This is a fantastic opportunity for grain fed beef entrepreneurs to attend this well renowned, thought-provoking event. 

Successful recipients will receive $1500 to assist in covering costs associated with attending the event, a two-day conference set to focus on consumer trends, markets, economics, production, finance, and leadership. 

BeefEx is widely known for drawing together a variety of experts from the grain fed beef industry including but not limited to nutritionists, veterinarians, backgrounders, regulators, service providers, transport operators and others involved in the grain fed industry and beef supply chain. 

Previous scholarship recipient Ruby Canning attended BeefEx in 2018 and gained a lot from her experience of the program. 

“The BeefEx Conference was an experience that was engaging, informative and provided many networking opportunities for all participants. Topics discussed throughout the conference by a range of industry leaders included consumer trends and the economics of the beef industry, as well as a focus on markets, production and finance incorporated with leadership.” 

“The incorporation of international and Australian presenters ensured the event focus of ‘big data’ was well covered in a comprehensive manner and ensured a grasp on the position of Australian beef within global markets.” Angus Australia Extension Manager, Jake Phillips says that the aim of this scholarship is to open the door to networking opportunities where participants will gain personal and professional skills and will evolve into next level decision makers. 

“BeefEx is a fantastic way to further develop their knowledge in the Australian feedlotting industry as well as the beef industry as a whole.”
