Brianna Meacle

Hi my name is Brianna Meacle. I am currently studying the Bachelor of Sustainable Agriculture/ Agribusiness dual at The University of Queensland Gatton Campus. My background is a small beef and sheep breeding and backgrounding operation in Clifton, located on the Darling Downs. I have been immersed in the beef industry my entire life and my passion only grew after attending camps run by the Charolais and Santa Gertrudis Society’s and doing a couple of years in the Stud circuit at local agricultural shows throughout high school. Through my degree I’ve been fortunate enough to connect with like-minded people passionate about the beef and feed lotting sectors, but also agriculture on a whole. I aspire to contribute to the production of protein by increasing efficiency through genetics, nutrition, low stress animal behaviour handling techniques and applying data based decision making to operations to increase profitability. I’ve recently attended the ICMJ Northern Conference at Rockhampton in 2021, gaining much insight into new technological developments and building strong networking relationships. I am excited to see how the industry will solidify its stance in the future and cannot wait to see where a career in the beef industry will take me.
