Accelerating Beef on Dairy
The Future Of The Australian Beef & Dairy Industries

EXCLUSIVE INVITATION

Dairy & Beef Industry Leaders Forum

Fulton Market Group is excited to bring dairy and beef industry leaders together to hear from Australia’s leading agricultural and environmental experts and global innovators on the opportunities for a new sustainable beef supply chain.

THE FUTURE OF AUSSIE BEEF

Australian Beef on Dairy programs are gaining momentum

Highly targeted beef-on-dairy pilot programs designed to breed and grow non-replacement calves for premium domestic and export demand are underway. There is a tremendous opportunity for the Australian dairy and beef industries to further accelerate these programs with multiple advantages across the supply chain.

THE PROGRAM LINE-UP

Full day of events runs from 9am - 5pm.

MC'ed by Tom Newton from MaxCare, the program includes a line up of leading industry experts whom you may not otherwise have the opportunity to be exposed to including keynote presentations from two of Australia's preeminent sustainability and environmental scholars.

You'll have your burning questions answered during an expert panel discussion and have the chance to connect with fellow industry leaders, share ideas and opportunities over drinks and canape before the day closes at 5pm.
