This year at SmartBeef, we’ll be showing off the newest talent in our variety of awards to be presented over the event.
Young Lot Feeder of the Year Award
The Young Lot Feeder of the Year Award, proudly sponsored by Performance Feeds, is designed to encourage emerging industry leaders to contribute their ideas and vision for lot feeding at a national level.
The accolade recognises and rewards those who exemplify passion, leadership, and a visionary outlook towards the future of lot feeding. To apply for the Award, all entrants were required to submit an essay outlining an industry problem (perceived or real), discussing its implications to the feedlot industry, and exploring a proposed solution.
Young feedlot professionals who aspire to become future industry leaders are encouraged to apply for this prestigious industry award. The winner will be announced at the Industry Gala Dinner at TRECC on Wednesday 11 October.
