Summary
Yulgilbar Station hosted a crowd of about 350 beef producers and associated industries in August 2014 where industry leaders covered a range of topics from the direction beef should take to improve returns, to sound bull and female selection.
Meat and Livestock Australia arranged for North Coast cattle consultant Bill Hoffman to present at the event on how to breed polled cattle from a horned base. Breeding for polled cattle was a hands-on feature of the event.
MLA supported the event with a $2000 cash and $1500 in kind sponsorship.
