Roundup 2027 is heading to Bendigo, Victoria, and registrations are open now. 🖤

If you’ve ever thought about coming, this is your sign. Roundup is four days of hands on cattle competition, industry learning, and the kind of connections that last well beyond the event. You don’t need your own cattle. You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to show up.

New venue. Same energy. Better than ever.

This week on The Angus Table, Scott Wright sits down with Glenn Rosbrook, Chief Client Officer of Achmea Farm Insurance, for insight into agricultural insurance, direct relationships, and leadership in uncertain times.

✔️ The challenge of agricultural risk: complex operations, weather dependency, machinery, animals, and year-round change.
✔️ The importance of GenAngus investment partnership since 2019, recognising that leadership development matters as much as profit.

The Angus Foundation Research Grant supports eligible undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking research that can be applied to the Australian beef industry and contribute to enhancing the value of Angus genetics and beef.

Funding can be used to support a completely new research project or to extend work already underway by enabling researchers to explore additional findings and increase the value and industry relevance of an existing project.

Applications are encouraged from researchers whose work demonstrates sound scientific methodology and the potential to deliver practical outcomes for users of Angus and Angus-influenced genetics.

Projects will be considered competitively, with assessment taking into account the proposed area of study, scientific methodology, suitability of the researcher and research team, alignment with Angus Australia priorities and the potential value of the research to industry.

The Research Grant is valued at up to $20,000 AUD, with Angus Australia retaining the option to award an alternate amount where more than one suitable application is received. Applicants are required to provide details of their proposed research and methodology, together with an itemised project budget.

Applications close Friday 30 October 2026.

Open your gates to the next generation of Angus leaders

Angus Australia is inviting members across both Australia and New Zealand to register their interest in hosting young Angus enthusiasts through the Trans-Tasman Exchange Scholarship, helping the next generation gain valuable industry experience, build connections and broaden their understanding of Angus production systems.

Supported by the Angus Australia Foundation, the Trans-Tasman Exchange Scholarship provides young Angus members with the opportunity to explore different beef production systems, learn directly from breeders and industry professionals, and develop connections across the Tasman.

Each year, the program supports an Angus Australia member aged between 18 and 30 to undertake a self-guided tour of Australia or New Zealand, visiting Angus seedstock and commercial operations, feedlots, field days and sales.

Recipients are encouraged to spend at least four weeks experiencing the Australian or New Zealand beef industry, gaining practical insights and building relationships that can support their future involvement in agriculture.
