North West Local Land Services are hosting a Confinement Feeding and Livestock Tech Q&A Day in Tamworth, bringing together producers and industry to share practical knowledge and real-world experiences.
This event will feature sessions on:
Confinement feeding — from design, layout, and construction to operations, diet selection, and daily management.
Livestock Ag technology — insights into how technology is being used on-farm, the opportunities available, and how to assess return on investment.
The program includes two panels:
Confinement feeding:
Gerard Gallagher, sheep and cattle producer
Will Chaffey, sheep producer
Jeremy Cummins, Bottlejac Feedlot
Livestock tech:
Max Johnstone, Optiweigh
Tony Overton, sheep and cattle producer
Tom Ledingham, cattle producer
Max will talk about how in-paddock weighing technology is helping producers make better management decisions — improving efficiency, animal performance, and profitability.
