What We Do
Livestock SA is the voice of South Australia's livestock producers.
We represent the interests of livestock producers across South Australia and advocate for policies and initiatives that support a productive, profitable and sustainable red meat and wool industry. We work with government, industry and the community to ensure producers' views are considered in decisions affecting the sector.
Livestock production occurs on 84 per cent of South Australia's agricultural land and our members make a significant contribution to the management of the state's natural resources and agricultural landscapes.
Our vision is for a progressive and sustainable South Australian red meat and wool value chain that is connected, adaptable and positioned to capture future opportunities. Together, we work to improve the wellbeing, productivity and profitability of our livestock, people and land.
