Red Meat Updates is an annual conference developed to provide information, inspiration and connections for the Tasmanian red meat industry. The program is developed by a producer-led working group, which ensures the event is relevant, valuable, respected and well attended by sheep and cattle producers. Red Meat Updates was first held in 2013 and has continued to grow ever since. The event consistently attracts more than 300 people, with over 350 people attending recent years and tickets selling out in advance. Approximately 60-70% of conference attendees are sheep and cattle producers. Red Meat Updates covers a range of livestock production, pasture and grazing management, business and supply chain topics. The theme for this year's event is 'Making it count - optimising the farm system'.
