Grazing for growth — Longreach

Mexican rancher, Alejandro Carrillo, is returning to Australia and is teaming up with David McLean of Resource Consulting Services (RCS), to deliver a unique, 2-day grazing workshop that is intentionally designed with rangeland pastoralists in mind.

Your presenters

Alejandro hails from Las Damas Ranch, in the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert, Mexico, where he has evolved his grazing management to increase pasture diversity, rain infiltration and the length of the growing season, while repairing the water cycle and improving profitability. He is currently experiencing one of the driest times in living memory in his region and is acutely aware of the importance of coming together, sharing game-changing insights, and supporting each other.

David has worked closely with producers across Australia for decades, particularly in the Northern livestock industry. He has a keen understand the challenges graziers face in various contexts and uses his extensive knowledge and experience to support, challenge, and champion them as they pursue their visions.
