It's been 28 years since Australia last hosted a World Angus Congress, and interest across the Angus world is already reaching fever pitch ahead of the 2025 event being held in Brisbane and Tamworth in May.
In today's episode, podcast host Kerry Lonergan chats with Angus Australia's Scott Wright about preparations for the once-in-a-generation event. Up to 1000 Angus stakeholders from across Australia, New Zealand, North and South America and Europe are expected to gather for the Congress, Forum, and support events.
Already some red-hot tropics are emerging, including:
- Where to from here for Angus genetic progress? Can current rates of gain on eating quality, fertility and carcase traits be maintained?
- With US fed cattle carcase weights now pushing 900 pounds, is carcase size a concern in the Angus industry?
- The concepts and challenges of the Australian Beef Industry's quest for Carbon Neutral 2030
Scott provides a valuable run-down on what stakeholders attending the event can expect.
