Celebrate the 100th Alice Springs Pastoral Industry Advisory Committee meeting
This month, the Alice Springs Pastoral Advisory Committee (ASPIAC) will be holding their 100th meeting, with a celebratory dinner at the Arid Zone Research Institute (AZRI) on 11 November to mark the occasion.
Everyone involved with the pastoral industry is invited, especially former ASPIAC members and their families. The event at the John Hayes Building at AZRI is free and will be hosted by ASPIAC, the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade, Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) and the North Australia Beef Research Council. Please follow one of the two links below to register. It is definitely a great achievement for Central Australian industry representatives to come together for 100 meetings over nearly 40 years. To find out more ASPIAC’s history, you can read our article on the committee in the August edition of the Rural Review.
Pastoralists and cattle industry representatives travelling in to Alice Springs for the event are also invited to stick around for the MLA BeefUp forum the next day. The BeefUp has a full day program at the Alice Springs Desert Park functions area, hosted by MLA with support from the Northern Territory Government.
Key highlights of the 2021 Alice Springs BeefUp (12 November) include:
- understanding water - how salinity and parasites could impact cattle performance
- the latest stock tracking and monitoring technologies for boosting cattle production
- weaner management and nutrition.
Jason Strong, the Managing Director of MLA, will be a special guest at both events.
Registrations are essential to attend BeefUp. For bookings, go to the Meat and Livestock Australia website.
If you are attending BeefUp you can register for the ASPIAC dinner at the same time.
Alternatively, if you only want to go to the dinner, register by 8 November through the Eventbrite website.
