Feeding the Future: Data-Driven Decisions for Northern Beef Production

Practical talks, producer case studies, networking opportunities – Calf Alive 2025 is a must-attend event for anyone shaping the future of northern beef.

Producers, researchers, advisors, and industry leaders will share key insights from the Calf Alive project—an ambitious, multi-year initiative focused on improving reproductive performance and calf survival in northern Australian beef herds.

Hear from our international guest, Dr. Allison Meyer (University of Missouri, Columbia), on the impacts of maternal malnutrition on cow and calf outcomes.

Discover the latest findings on nutrition, management, genetics, and environmental strategies that enhance productivity and resilience in extensive systems.

Highlights include the use of over 1,000 GPS collars to monitor cattle behaviour under environmental stress, and cutting-edge research using nitrogen isotopes in tail hair (δ¹⁵N) to identify more efficient breeders early in life. See the conference program for more information.
