Scott and Lucy discuss bridging the urban-rural divide, the values of the Australian stockman, keeping people safe and cattle calm, and Lucy's vision for introducing agricultural education to every school in Australia. So pull up a chair at the Angus Table for a conversation packed with wise insights and authentic passion for the beef industry.

In this episode of Behind the Beef, Scott Wright and Cheyne Twist are joined by Angus Australia Extension officer, Hanlie Jansen who has joined to discuss the 2024 Beef Breeding Insight Report and its findings.   

Late last year, a comprehensive report on the 2024 Beef Breeding Insights Survey results was released, as part of the “Enhancing Technology Adoption Across the Angus Genetic Improvement Pipeline” project (P.PSH.1063), funded by the MLA Donor Company (MDC). This initiative, led by Angus Australia, involved two in-depth quantitative surveys of Australian beef cattle producers conducted by an independent market research group.   

The first survey was conducted in 2019, providing a baseline with responses from 1,023 producers nationwide. A follow-up survey was carried out in 2023 with 977 respondents to build on the initial data and evaluate changes over the five-year period, benchmarking shifts in producer knowledge, attitudes, and the prevalence of Angus and Angus-influenced cattle.   

Hanlie has joined us to give us a snapshot into these results, what this means for Angus producers and in turn the wider beef industry.
