Dear Colleague,
Australia will host the World Simmental Congress in Melbourne in September 2010. I would like to take this opportunity to invite you, your partner, friends and industry colleagues to attend the 2010 Simmental World Congress.

Many international and Australian delegates are expected to attend this important event to increase their knowledge of Simmental cattle and the Australian beef cattle industry.

The Congress and the pre and post Congress tours will include a range of activities to inform and entertain delegates. The program will focus on the role of Australian Simmental in maximising enterprise profitability, especially through crossbreeding. It will also cover topics on innovations in cattle genetics, stud and commercial herd breeding, product quality, management technology and marketing. The Congress will be held in conjunction with the Simmental Feature Breed Judging at Royal Melbourne Show.

A special Congress feature will be an International Young People’s Program. We invite you to enjoy the Welcome Reception, interactive networking sessions, a Congress dinner, a themed Australian farewell dinner, partners program during the Congress and other tour events.

In addition, the overall Congress program will provide a memorable rural Australian experience and an insight into Australia’s hidden wonders and attractions as delegates journey through a diverse range of terrain, cultures and environments.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 2010 Congress.

Kind regards,

Bill Almond
Chairman - 2010 World Simmental Congress
Vice Chairman - World Simmental Fleckvieh Federation
