The Australian Lot Feeders’ Association is the peak national body for the feedlot industry in Australia. Feedlots are a rapidly expanding and important industry in Australia. ALFAs mission is to lead the industry in a manner that fosters excellence and integrity; improves the feedlot business environment; and to ensure its community standing.
The Australian Lot Feeders' Association is pleased to present BeefWorks 2009. This acclaimed event will once again take place at the Toowoomba City Golf Club on Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th September. The technical program will focus on Producing Better Beef.
We remain committed to ensuring there is good value for industry personnel in attending this conference as well as being an ALFA member - prices have been kept the same as 2007.
The latest ALFA / MLA survey has revealed a 10% decrease in cattle numbers on feed over the March quarter as the global financial crisis continued to dampen beef demand, particularly in export markets.

Ethanol
ALFA supports the investigation of viable energy alternatives and does not oppose the use of ethanol as a fuel nor ethanol production per se. However, ALFA strongly opposes government intervention that artificially distorts agricultural markets, including mandating ethanol content in fuels or further excise exemptions for ethanol manufacturers.
