"Recognising outstanding contributors to the Australian Sheep and Lamb industry"
The Australian Sheep and Lamb industry would not be what it is today without people – almost, but not quite – too numerous to mention. These are the people who have made remarkable contributions to the way we breed, feed, manage and market Australian sheep and lamb and whose efforts have directly or indirectly influenced the profitability and success of our sector – and it is impossible to identify any one person who has done more than the rest.
At LambEx 2010, during the Novartis Grands-Lamb Dinner, LambEx acknowledged the many, champions of our industry by launching the inaugural Australian Sheep and Lamb Industry Roll of Honour.
This initiative was designed to highlight the fact that it is a remarkable spirit of collaboration and cooperation that has taken the Australian sheep and lamb industry to what it is today. No single person, breed, entity has made the difference. Rather, it is the powerful combination of all – breeders, feeders, researchers, marketers, managers, consultants and of course farmers – that created the Australian Sheep and Lamb Industry Roll of Honour.
The vision is that the Roll of Honour will be extended at each subsequent LambEx, as other states host the event and add their own list of industry champions to the Roll.
Over 150 nominations were received for the inaugural roll and 100 names were recognised.
