2024 event highlights

The February 2024 event brought 300 dairy farmers and industry professionals together in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. Over three days attendees engaged in a rich tapestry of immersive discussions, workshops, and farm visits.

A key highlight was the group visit to Nundah Pastoral dairy farm in Singleton. Farm owners John, Allison & Dan Redgrove opened their doors to provide a first-hand look at their loose housing facility, 60-unit rotary dairy and maternity shed.
