Graham Centre Acting Director Associate Professor Marta Hernandez-Jover said the Forum presented information that producers could apply directly on farm.
"Livestock producers have been facing some tough seasonal conditions and it was wonderful to see so many people at the Forum, networking with each other and tapping into the expertise of some leading livestock researchers," said Professor Hernandez-Jover.
"The Forum included market updates, research to better manage fodder and pastures, information about breeding and genetics, and presentations about animal health and welfare."
The Forum also saw the launch of a new short film series, 'Crops, Rumps and Woolly Jumpers'. This project is an initiative of Sheep Connect NSW, with support from the Graham Centre and NSW DPI. It documents the experiences of five farmers in 2012 and then again in 2016. Check out the videos here.
