The three-day event, which includes MLA's annual general meeting, kicked off with producer tours around the Quirindi district.
Romani Pastoral Company hosted attendees in a historic 44 stand woolshed to share insights into their beef business, which has recently started trialing a range of technologies to improve on-farm management.
This was followed by a visit to Elders' Killara Feedlot giving producers an insight into the licensed 20,000 head feedlot, which turns over about 60,000 cattle each year.
