July 11th, 2026Call for new BetterBeef Group in Leslie Manor area

Agriculture Victoria is seeking expressions of interest from beef producers in the Leslie Manor area to join a new BetterBeef group. BetterBeef groups bring farmers together to learn from each other, share experiences and tackle the challenges of running a beef enterprise in today’s conditions.

BetterBeef groups and the topics covered in each session are producer-driven and practical. Members decide the topics, host each other on-farm, compare what’s working (and what’s not), and combine their experience with evidence-based information to test ideas and build confidence to make better decisions. Trusted advisors are brought in when needed to cover more technical content required on a topic, like drench resistance or ruminant nutrition.

Sessions often focus on preparing for and recovering from drought, fire and floods, managing tough seasonal conditions, and building more resilient and profitable farming systems.

Just as importantly, it’s a chance to connect with other local producers, have a good discussion, pick up ideas you can actually use, and enjoy the process along the way.

If you’re interested in being part of the group or want to learn more, contact Hannah Manning on 0400 532 595 or email hannah.manning@agriculture.vic.gov.au
