More about the presenter:

Adam's focus is to support beef cattle producers of various sizes through programming, research and facilitating market development, and to educate new and existing farmers about different cattle production and marketing strategies. He is interested in how cattle management throughout the entire lifecycle can influence carcass characteristics and the beef eating experience, and likes to tie in live cattle production with meat science wherever possible.
