NZ Large Herds Conference
The 35th Annual NZ Large Herds Conference is to be held in the Hawke's Bay for the first time this year (from 28-31 March). The theme for this year's Conference is "Taking Care of Business" and will focus on managing growth and change, and environmental issues.
In addition to presentations from a wide range of people involved in NZ's agribusiness, the keynote speakers at the Conference will be:
- Dr Doug Powell, University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada "Guess What's Coming to Dinner" - food safety post mad cow disease in North America; and
- Glenn Capelli, author "Leadership and Dynamic Thinking".
Initially a "large herd" was defined as 300 or more cows. Now with improved management techniques, increased knowledge, greater efficiencies and sophisticated plants and equipment that number has risen to 700. However, farmers do not need to have over 700 cows to attend the conference.
