BestWool/BestLamb & BetterBeef Roadshow - Dunkeld

Agriculture Victoria & AWI Extension VIC's BestWool/BestLamb and BetterBeef are hitting the road!

The 2025 Beef and Sheep Network Roadshow brings top industry experts to locations across Victoria, delivering the latest insights on pastures, livestock, and farm business management.

In response to seasonal challenges, we’re taking a fresh approach in 2025. Instead of one big BestWool/BestLamb and BetterBeef Conference, we’re bringing the knowledge to producers with a series of half-day events, making it easier for producers to attend without spending a whole day off-farm.

This format ensures more producers can connect, learn, and plan for the seasons ahead, without the travel commitment of a conference.

Same high-quality content – just more accessible and closer to home.

Tickets are free of charge, so register now! Limited seats are available.
