Item Description:

HISTORY

Some of the largest producers and processors provided seed funding to start the first nationally elected meat body in Australian history. Dr Rod Kater, Chairman of the Stanbroke Pastoral Company, was elected Chairman of the Steering Committee.

Boundaries for the 15 Council seats were drawn up on a cattle number basis to avoid the interstate factionalism that has plagued the Cattle Council of Australia since its inception in 1979. (See the accompanying map.)

Below listed are the Executive and directors of the Australian Beef Association.

To have a yarn about about ABA's activities in your area or an issue that you'd like to raise that we may be able to help with please call your local Australian Beef Association Director.
