Making Maidens Weight and Leading Sheep Forum

From practical paddock‑level insights to business smarts and relaxed networking, this Longreach event has it all. 

The morning session will showcase key findings and lessons from the Making Maidens Weight Producer Demonstration Site (PDS) project, with Dr Gordon Refshauge (SheepMetriX) and participating producers sharing results and on‑farm experiences from the project. 

In the afternoon, the Leading Sheep Forum features Jess Paton (Agrista), who will step producers through how to use on‑farm business and production data to support better decision‑making. 

Finish the day with an informal ‘Chops & Chats’ barbecue, including a presentation by Charlie Brumpton (Mt Ascot & Jolly Jumbuck) on his recent China Young Grower Trip experience.
