Operation of the Angus Sire Benchmarking Program is provided by a consultative committee made up of representatives of bull owners, the co-operating cow herds, Rangers Valley Feedlot who are purchasing, feeding and slaughtering the steers, MLA and Angus Australia. The committee meet a number of times a year to decide on bull nominations and to provide guidance and advice on the operation of the program. Angus Australia has announced the composition of the Angus Sire Benchmarking Program and the Angus TACE Consultative Committees for the next 2-year term.
The consultative committees provide a mechanism to obtain structured feedback of ideas and suggestions from Angus Australia members.
The Angus Sire Benchmarking Program (ASBP) Consultative Committee has a purpose to provide guidance to the Angus Australia Board of Directors and management team in developing policies, strategies and plan related to ASBP.
The committee focusses on reviewing the overall operations and progress of the ASBP and, where required, provide recommendations to the Board. They also provide feedback on ASBP related proposals for consideration by the Board.
*Also involved in each consultative committee meeting are Board representatives and relevant staff.
