Overview of this event

Event details:
This evening session aims to provide Northern Tablelands producers with timely information on managing cattle through dry seasons.
Presentations from Local Land Services will cover the strategies to consider when destocking and the long-term impacts on drought recovery, followed by a guide to supplementary feeding cattle. Attendees will then hear the latest market outlook from Rabobank Senior Animal Proteins Analyst Angus Gidley-Baird.
