Prof Derek Bailey addresses delegates at NBRUC 2026 last week
The visiting US academic discusses the similarities between US and Australian rangelands (pastures), the role of public-land grazing, and how tracking technology, accelerometers and AI are transforming cattle monitoring and grazing management. He covers practical tools like real-time sensors, virtual fencing, and strategies for improving grazing distribution, productivity and sustainability.
Prof Bailey also speaks about engaging cattle producers through on-property research, the importance of record-keeping and monitoring, and broader challenges like public perception of grazing and market drivers behind heavier carcass weights in the US beef industry.
