Beef Australia Chairman Blair Angus spoke about the strength of the industry and it’s people, while noting future challenges.
"A connection to the land is something that the people here truly understand,” Mr Angus said.
“I would like to acknowledge all of those who have come before us to build this great industry, generations of outstanding cattlemen and women and all of those who have been part of the journey to us now celebrating the greatest meat on earth, Australian beef."
