The VFF Livestock Group is the peak representative body for livestock producers in Victoria and has been operating in its present form since 1979. The Group represents the interests of Victorian beef, prime lamb, wool and goat farm businesses, most of which are family owned and operated.
Victoria is currently home to 16% of Australia’s cattle herd, 50% of Australia’s lamb production and about a quarter of the Australian goat population. With one quarter of the nation’s farm businesses being Victorian, VFF Livestock plays an influential role in determining the priorities and direction of this major Australian sector.
The VFF Livestock Group’s core business involves policy development, issues management and advocacy on behalf of our members to industry and government. Through our extensive branch network, and VFF Livestock Council, we have great contact with producers and unbeatable knowledge of the state livestock issues.
We also continue to work with livestock and allied industries, external stakeholders, and influence the grower owned research and development companies, Meat and Livestock Australia, Australian Wool Innovation and the livestock peak industry councils: Sheep Producers of Australia, Wool Producers Australia, Cattle Australia and Goat Industry Council of Australia.
