Angus Australia Chief Executive Officer Scott Wright looks forward to welcoming producers to the event, the first National Conference hosted by Angus Australia since 2019.
“It is my great hope that at our Beyond the Beef National Conference the Angus family can once again come together to celebrate our success and imagine what is ahead!” said Mr Wright.
“I would encourage every member to come and participate as all of us know that the greatest value of a conference is the chat over coffee and learning from one another. We have put together a great program and we hope that the format and style of conference honours the type of breeder that is an Angus Australia member.”
“Our breed is the backbone of our modern beef industry, Tamworth is a great town, so we ask please “down tools” for a couple of days, enjoy one another’s company, have some good conversations, and think about the road ahead. I look forward to seeing you all in Tamworth in May.”
