Weighing up success- livestock and ag tech day

Learn how portable in‑field scales help livestock producers track growth, pasture, emissions, and inputs and learn practical insights from farmers and experts.

Event details:

New in‑field weighing tech is giving livestock producers clearer, real‑time insight into how their animals and pastures are performing. Join Central Tablands Local Land Services for a relaxed session over coffee and hear directly from farmers who’ve used portable in‑paddock scales to sharpen their decision‑making and boost profitability.

You’ll hear how this technology helps producers:

• understand weight gain and pasture performance

• spot nutrition or water‑quality constraints early

• reduce emissions and inputs

• improve forecasting and carrying capacity.

Farmer insights:

• Andrew Dowd will talk about running an absentee cattle‑trading business using Optiweigh and Halter collars to lift profits and cut inputs. It’s a practical, farmer‑led look at ag tech tools that can genuinely grow your livestock business.

• Andrew Coughlan, DPIRD Farms of the Future Manager.

Additional details:

• Morning tea is provided
