Grazing forum 2014
The 2014 Grazing Forum for Mackay and the surrounding regions is free for graziers and landholders to attend.
Find out about the latest developments in beef cattle, nutrition, pasture, livestock interactions and sustainable agriculture, and discuss both opportunities and challenges for the local beef and cattle industry.
