Conference Proceedings

Each year the society holds an annual conference, attracting 300-400 delegates. The array of speakers over the years have been informative, interesting and challenging. The conference proceedings provide detailed papers from invited speakers and poster abstracts. Topics cover all grazing industries and range from animal husbandry, grazing management, and fertiliser applications to pasture species information. These proceedings are available to delegates at the conference and to members of the society following the conference.

Events

The Society, through its local branches, holds a number of field days and events for members as well as non-members.  Members receive discounted registration for these events.
