Jake Turner lives on a mixed farming enterprise north of Lake Cargelligo, NSW. He is currently in his first year of a Bachelor of Agricultural Business Management at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga, NSW. Jake’s passion for the beef industry and the Angus breed started at Yanco Agricultural High School where he was actively involved in the cattle showstock team from years 7 to 12. Alongside seven other like-minded people, Jake is stoked to have the opportunity to not only represent Angus Australia at the World Angus Forum, but also Australia’s wider beef industry.
The World Angus Forum is coming in 2025!
The World Angus Forum is coming to Brisbane, Australia on the 7th – 8th May 2025! Cattle breeders, Angus enthusiasts, and beef industry professionals from every corner of the globe are invited to converge in Australia for this extraordinary event.
Following the cancellation of the World Angus Forum in 2021, we have bounced back, and are more excited than ever to be bringing the World Angus Forum 2025 to the world.
With a theme of ‘Beef for a Better Planet’, join Angus Australia for a global celebration of Angus and an insight into the latest technology, genetics and innovation.
The event will showcase the highest quality beef run sustainably in some of the harshest environments and explore the concepts and challenges of the Australian Beef Industry’s quest for Carbon Neutral 2030.
“As CEO, and on behalf of the Organising Committee of the World Angus Forum 2025, it is our great pleasure to invite you to attend World Angus Forum 2025,” said Angus Australia Chief Executive Officer Scott Wright.
“The World Angus Forum provides a unique opportunity for Angus breeders and industry professionals to come together to learn from one another and to share their passion for this iconic breed. It also plays an important role in promoting the Angus breed globally and in advancing the knowledge and understanding of cattle breeding and management.”
“Preparations are well under way to deliver an educational and informative event that brings together leading experts and advocates in a broad range of fields, as well as the opportunity to experience Australia with its unique wildlife and environment.”
“After the huge success of the World Angus Forum in Australia in 1997, Angus Australia is honoured to again be hosting the event in 2025.”
An exciting program is being developed, including an initial reception on the Harbour in Sydney, followed by a pre-forum tour with farm visits and tourist destinations on the itinerary.
The tour will see delegates land in Tamworth for what is anticipated to be the largest gathering of Angus cattle in Australia, as we host a two-day Angus Expo at the Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre (AELEC). Returning for 2025 will also be the highly anticipated World Angus Forum Youth Competition.
“Come and see the finest genetics grown in the harshest environments and how we do it. Come and see the harbour, the reef, the rock,” said Angus Australia President and Board Chairperson Erica Halliday.
“But more importantly, our stud and commercial industry, the Australian beef industry, which aims to be carbon neutral by 2030. Come and see how we think we can do it and why we think that beef can be part of the solution.”
From Tamworth the tour will continue north and finish up in Brisbane for the official World Angus Forum event, where speakers who are experts in their field will be invited to present at the Brisbane Entertainment and Convention Centre.
