Previous scholarship recipient Ruby Canning attended BeefEX in 2018 and gained a lot from her experience of the program. “The BeefEx Conference was an experience that was engaging, informative and provided many networking opportunities for all participants. Topics discussed throughout the conference by a range of industry leaders included consumer trends and the economics of the beef industry, as well as a focus on markets, production and finance incorporated with leadership’. “The incorporation of international and Australian presenters ensured the event focus of ‘big data’ was well covered in a comprehensive manner and ensured a grasp on the position of Australian beef within global markets.” Angus Australia Extension Manager, Jake Phillips says that the aim of this scholarship is to open the door to networking opportunities where participants will gain personal and professional skills and will evolve into next level decision makers. ‘BeefEX is a fantastic way to further develop their knowledge in the Australian feedlotting industry as well as the beef industry as a whole’. “The conference offers an extensive overview of the feedlot industry and is a fantastic networking opportunity hosted by the peak national body for the Australian feedlot industry.” For further information regarding eligibility and where to apply please visit the Angus Australia website or Angus Youth social media channels for updates.
