An important strategic project for Angus Australia is the development and implementation of a sustainable program with the overall aim to increase demand for Angus and Angus infused cattle in the beef supply chain in northern Australia covering breeders, backgrounder’s, grass finishers, feedlots, abattoirs and exporters. Underlying initiatives will aim to benefit both Angus Australia members and the broader beef industry.
This precipitated the formation of the Northern Development Consultative Committee, with the purpose to:
- Provide guidance in developing policies, strategies and plans relating to Angus Australia’s Northern Development Program.
- Monitor activity, progress and results of the Northern Development Program.
- Communicate and represent the views and requirements of northern Australia beef breeders in relation to Angus genetics and Angus influenced cattle.
