Frontier Genetics Launch Event Recap

What a fantastic evening we had at the Rockhampton Jockey Club for the Frontier Genetics launch event with over 200 attendees!

We are thrilled to share some highlights from our incredible guest speakers who shed light on the importance of collaboration, genetics and data in the beef industry moving forward.

Geoff Murrell, Director of Packhorse discussed why genetics, backed by data to a certain standard, has been so valuable for company properties.

Prue Bondfield, Bondfield Agriculture shared her thoughts on how the Frontier Genetics breeding group benefits the Brahman breed and the wider Australian Beef Industry. Her experience and thoughts left us inspired!

All the way from California, Alison Van Eenennaam, Professor of Cooperative Extension at UC Davis, delved into the impact of genetic improvement, especially by showcasing how other animal proteins have benefited from using all the tools available. Her global research perspective and entertaining presentation was invaluable!

Ben Law, The Financial Bloke, was our MC for the evening and did an absolutely amazing job. Thanks Ben and all of our incredible presenters.
