WHAT A DAY at Texas Angus' Nothin' But Beef Day!

With around 500 producers from across NSW and Queensland in attendance, there was plenty to talk about. From economic outlook with NAB Chief Economist Dr Sally Auld to genetics, market trends and what customers are looking for in premium beef, it was all on the table.

Our very own Tony Fitzgerald joined MC Hamish McIntyre on stage alongside Brett Williams, General Manager of our Oakey processing plant, and Anthony Naticchia from our Export Sales team. Together, they shared how every part of the supply chain plays a role in delivering Angus Reserve Black Angus Beef, with Tony highlighting the importance of consistency is raising cattle that excel.

And if the queue was anything to go by, lunch was a hit! Our brand partner Chef Jason Roberts cooked up Angus Reserve rib eye steaks over an open fire with house-made salsa verde, and they didn't last long.

A big thank you to Texas Angus for having us. It was great to catch up with so many producers and be part of another fantastic day.
