10 MARCH 2025: ACC’s investment into Australia’s vital feedlot sector doesn’t stop at the farmgate.

Great industries need great leadership … and three of our feedlot staff attended the recent Emerging Leaders Program in Brisbane.

Renee Wilson, Chloe Gordon and Macy Hammermeister participated in the three-day professional development program run by the Australian Lot Feeders’ Association.

Sessions focused on developing essential capabilities such as communication, practical problem-solving, team dynamics and leadership skills.

Arising from an idea pitched by a previous ALFA Young Lot Feeder of the Year Award winner, the program aims to offer training to prime participants for the next stage of their careers.

The new program covered:

Enhanced Leadership Skills: Improved leadership capabilities leading to greater operational efficiency.

Strengthened Team Dynamics: Team coordination techniques to encourage stronger collaboration, fostering a positive team culture.

Practical Problem-Solving: Practical sessions providing effective solutions for challenges unique to the feedlot industry.

Communication Skills: Enhancing verbal and non-verbal communication for improved workplace interactions.

Networking Opportunities: Build lasting connections with industry peers across the country.
