Why Livestock Matters – “The Reasons to Believe”
Improving sheep enterprise resilience through science and attitude

Roller-coaster prices and seasons, rising input costs and hard-to-get labour is leaving many sheep producers asking where to next. But amid the pressure, there’s also possibility. Possibility for innovation, adaptation, and a renewed belief in the future of livestock. At Livestock Matters, hear about the things that can strengthen your businesses — from genetics and feedbase strategies to targeted fleece removal and grazing crops. Whether you’re on the brink of change or just seeking a reason to keep going, this event is designed to offer connection, clarity, and confidence in the future of the sheep industry. Join us for a day that brings honesty, hope, research and practical insight to the forefront.
