Livestock Advisor Updates coming to eastern states in November 2021
03 August 2021
MLA’s Livestock Advisor Updates, scheduled to take place in August 2021, will now be delivered in eastern states in November 2021 in response to COVID-19 restrictions.
The PGS and Livestock Advisor Updates event dates for Perth will remain unchanged on 14–15 October.
Livestock Advisor Updates are regionally relevant, one-day technical workshops held in northern, southern and western Australia.
The workshops provide opportunities for livestock advisors, leading producers and professional extension consultants to learn about the latest red meat R&D, gain skills, tools and knowledge to increase their offering to clients and to network with their peers.
The inaugural Livestock Advisor Updates held in 2019 were attended by 131 people across the country, with events in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. Due to COVID-19, the 2020 events along the east coast were cancelled. Perth’s event was held in November 2020 where 100% of attendees said they would recommend the event to their colleagues.
