Lessons from abroad: finding sustainable calf markets

Join this webinar to learn more about the opportunities for dairy-beef markets at home and abroad.

Understand how the balance between social licence, environment and economics underpins sustainability and how working with the supply chain and consumers is essential to optimise the dairy-beef industry.

• International dairy-beef systems
• Consumer perceptions of dairy-beef
• Cow-calf contact and its impact
• How to optimise sustainable production
