Livestock Leaders

The Livestock Leaders Program was born from The Livestock Collective with the vision for every member of the interested community to have an understanding and connection to agriculture. To achieve this, The Livestock Collective embarked on a journey to increase the capacity of agriculture to respectfully communicate about their area of expertise and ignite positive, visible conversations.

The Livestock Collective has been delighted to partner with various industry associations, networks and businesses to deliver bespoke Livestock Leaders workshops.

"Sheep Producers Australia (SPA) is the voice on issues that affect Australian sheep meat production businesses and is the peak industry organisation for sheep and lamb producers. SPA works daily to enhance the industry’s productivity, profitability and sustainability by representing all producers to industry decision-makers and stakeholders. The sheep meat industry relies upon the reputation of our producers and supply chain partners to underpin both the integrity and reputation of our product. The Livestock Collective (TLC) promotes transparency within our supply chain, with a philosophy that shows improving the expertise within our industry and then displaying that expertise, everyone benefits. SPA is happy to partner with TLC to upskill and educate our industry as well as assisting customers and the community gain access to both producers and supply chain partners." - Stephen Crisp, CEO Sheep Producers Australia

“It was fantastic to work with The Livestock Collective, to bring together our members for an “Art of Articulation” workshop in Darwin. The feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive & we hope to be able to replicate this again in the future. The enthusiasm & connection in the room was incredible and I believe we achieved our goals through this program”

"Australian Livestock Exporters’ Council (ALEC) is the peak industry body for the live export industry. ALEC values the work of the Livestock Collective (TLC) and the strong and collaborative relationship the two organisations share. The education and resources TLC have and continue to provide, are so valuable in creating transparency about our industry and communicating that we are global leaders in animal welfare. The strength in TLC and those they represent is that they are independent of traditional industry structures and are able to create a platform to enable those throughout the supply chain to tell their stories and shorten the divide between the city and the bush." - Mark Harvey-Sutton, CEO Australian Livestock Exporters’ Council

"I would just like to acknowledge the outstanding contribution the Livestock Collective has made to the success of the 2021 Achmea GenAngus program. The enthusiasm , professionalism and event management capability the Livestock Collective has been able to contribute has been invaluable and very much appreciated by the attendees of the GenAngus program and the staff at Angus Australia. We are very humbled by the satisfaction and engagement our attendees have received from this program and this would have been more challenging without the Livestock Collective’s advice and support before, during and after the event."
