KPCA Pilbara Better Beef Business Workshop and Field Day

Pastoralists and northern beef supply chain members are invited to the KPCA/DPIRD Twilight Biosecurity Supply Chain Forum from 4pm on Wednesday 7th May

You will learn about the current threat of animal diseases, including Foot and Mouth and Lumpy Skin Diseases, what you can do to assist in prevention and what will happen should an incursion occur. Discussions regarding how pastoralists and supply chain can work together to aid industry recovery and business continuity will bring the Forum to a close to be followed by a BBQ dinner.

Our Better Beef Forum from 8.30am Thursday 8th May will provide the opportunity to learn the practicalities of the requirements for carbon assessments – you may not agree with it but unfortunately, it’s a’coming! – and get you started on your way to undertaking your on-station assessment with the Grower Group Alliance supported Carbon Forum. After lunch we will hear from the on-the-ground projects being undertaken by the Pilbara Extension Network (PEN) participants; learn about holistic farm management including landscape and financial with Richard Marver and Richard Brake; have a chat about how to improve our industry’s attractiveness for long-term workforce; and learn some more about making spinifex pastures work better for you with Matt Fletcher!

Weldon Percy will welcome us to ‘Sylvania Station’ from 8.30am on Friday 9th May where new Broome based DPIRD vet Tom Clune will demonstrate best practice disease detection and investigation, Zoetis will showcase advancements in vaccination capabilities and techniques, Reproscan will show the opportunities for reproductive management and Sylvania will take us through their journey of herd improvement through genetics.

A big few days but we know your time is valuable so we aim to give you the best bang for your investment of time with us! We look forward to seeing you there!
