Leading Sheep Meat Up Forum & Dinner
Leading Sheep and MeatUp bring you an event addressing key priorities for goat, sheepmeat and wool businesses including reproduction; restocking and rebuilding; nutritional requirements and supplementary feeding; key business metrics and return on capital investments.
The Leading Sheep MeatUp Forum offers a great opportunity to network with fellow producers and industry representatives through the day and during the Leading Sheep MeatUp Forum Dinner.
The collaborative event features a red meat market update from MLA General Manager Research, Development & Adoption, Michael Crowley, and a wool industry update from Emily King, AWI Program Manager, Research & Extension.
Gordon Refshauge, NSW DPI, will focus on improving sheep reproductive performance to increase productivity and profitability, and Rob Inglis of Elders will address sheep feed intake and nutrition requirements from joining through to weaning.
Lester Pahl, of QDAF, will explore the equivalency of sheep and goats from an intake/DSE perspective, how quickly goats reproduce and the subsequent impact on grazing pressure, and Gordon Refshauge will also address why maiden does may be the weak link in reaching greater weaning rates for goats.
The Leading Sheep MeatUp Forum Dinner follows the Forum and promises to be an exciting end to the day. Louise Moore, Project Manager of Leading Sheep, is encouraging producers to travel to Longreach, saying ‘the Leading Sheep MeatUp Forum and Dinner is a great opportunity to catch up with fellow producers and industry representatives. Producers will also enjoy hearing from guest speaker, Denis Hoiberg, with his unique insights into emotional wellbeing, resilience and thriving through change.'
