producers can do to position themselves and their businesses to take
advantage of emerging trends.

“If
any beef producer knows what the outlook for the industry is - it’s
him. We know there are no
guarantees in this game, but it is a good sign that our industry leaders
are putting their money where their mouth is,” Mr Greenup said.
“We are fortunate to have people representing us that still get
out in the heat and dust and know the importance of the bottom line,”
Mr Greenup said.

position us for the future, to ensure we all have strong beef businesses
and a robust industry that can deliver quality, cost effective beef to
the world.
“We
suggest attendees are prepared for a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
There will be plenty of time to talk and discuss the issues as well as
reviewing the 140 sale bulls.”
