Wagyu beef and what’s cutting edge this year

THE 2018 Wagyu Edge Conference at Mackay in central Queensland is shaping up to be the best ever with planning well advanced.

The conference will run from May 2–4 and the post-conference tour from May 5–6, ending in Rockhampton, where delegates may choose to stay on for the triennial Beef 2018 exposition from May 7–11.

The 2018 conference will be all about fullblood breeding and management with demonstrations and explanations on how to obtain optimum performance from fullbloods in long fed programs.

Because wagyu calves are so valuable, survival rates are critical and one of the breed’s most prolific producers of fullbloods and crossbred will explain how to manage calves to eventually produce carcasses of the top value.

See presentations on the growing markets for wagyu beef in Australia and overseas with some of the industry’s biggest names explaining how to make the most of the expanding market.

Earlybird bookings close Friday, March 16.
