Southern beef and lamb school planned for Wagga Wagga in 2026

The NSW Government’s Riverina Local Land Services is hosting the Southern Beef and Lamb School, an intensive 2.5-day event for beef and lamb producers in southern NSW, from Tuesday 17 to Thursday 19 February 2026. The event is supported by the Australian Government through funding from the Natural Heritage Trust under the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program and delivered by Riverina Local Land Services, a member of the Commonwealth Regional Delivery Partners panel. Riverina Local Land services team leader sustainable agriculture, Michael Campbell, said the event would be a mix of seminars and practical workshops, with plenty of networking opportunities. “On the back of the sold-out Feeder Steer School at Armidale earlier this year, we wanted to offer an advanced learning experience for beef and lamb producers in southern NSW,” Mr Campbell said. “The school is designed for progressive producers and advisors to dive into the latest information on beef and lamb genetics and genomics, improving carcase quality, animal health and nutrition, soils and pastures, business management and international and domestic markets,” he said. Morning presentations and panel sessions will be followed by afternoon workshops and networking dinners. “We are finalising the agenda with a focus on building knowledge and skills, and ensuring each presentation has information ready to be considered and applied on-farm.” Leading beef and lamb producers will share lessons learned, with attendees also hearing updates from researchers, advisors, processors, business leaders, geneticists, nutritionists and soil scientists. “We know it can be tricky for producers to find time to get off-farm so we are focused on making this event high value with information relevant to all parts of a beef and lamb operation across the three days,” Mr Campbell said. “Tickets are limited so we encourage people to get in early to avoid missing out. This is sure to be a popular event,” he said. For more information or to RSVP, please visit https://www.nsw.gov.au/departments-and-agencies/local-land-services/events/southern-beef-and-lamb-school
