Join the Beef + Lamb New Zealand Farmer Council (Southern South Island) and Dairy Environment Leaders on‑farm for a practical Dairy Beef Field Day focused on lifting the value and performance of dairy‑origin beef calves.
Farmers are seeking profitable alternatives for non‑replacement calves and dairy beef is becoming one of the strongest, most sustainable pathways forward.
Hear from Lucy Coleman (B+LNZ) about the Dairy Beef Progeny Test Research. This event brings together dairy farmers, graziers, bull breeders and finishers to explore how reputable, progeny‑tested beef sires, strong youngstock systems, and clearer supply chain expectations can create better outcomes for everyone.
Includes a paddock walk, genetics insights, practical feeding and growth tools, and a farmer panel discussing what “good” looks like at handover. All welcome: dairy farmers, grazers, finishers, breeders, and rural professionals wanting to lift the quality, value, and future-fit potential of dairy-beef calves. Please forward to those you think would like to attend.
