About Us

The LRF Stockman School was founded to provide southern African livestock producers with the best information on livestock production and to facilitate communication across the livestock value chain. Originating from the LRF/BREEDPLAN® symposium in Bloemfontein, the school now features local and international industry experts in breeding and genetics, nutrition, veld and pasture science and grazing management, health, financial planning, and marketing. The school is dedicated to helping producers to be informed and equipped to ensuring their operations are efficient and remain profitable. Each year, the event attracts up to 200 delegates and offers a comprehensive platform for learning and networking in the livestock industry.

A Word from Previous Attendees

It was a great privilege to be invited to attend the Stockmans School at Aldam, to be invited to deliver a paper at this event and then attend the industry dinner for presentation of the LRF awards. I am pleased to say without reservation that the LRF Stockman School is the best Livestock industry education event that I have attended in the last 20 years. This outcome is a great credit to the hard work of the LRF and the generous sponsorships of many of the leading industry institutions. I am confident that the event will continue to evolve over time to become a ‘must attend’ meeting for all leading Livestock breeders in Africa

Previous Managing Director ABRI

The Aldam Stockman School 2019 was once again a highlight in our agricultural calendar with the very relevant theme: New technologies for precision livestock farming. It is technology that will lift the agriculture to the next level of profitability. Numerous concepts will be taken back to farm level in the years to come – as we have done for the past 10 years.

Ons wil die bestuur van die LRF en Breedplan SA baie gelukwens met ’n besonders geslaagde aanbieding te Aldam. Julle sprekers was uitstaande en die verrigtinge was goed georganiseer. Hierdie tipe inligtingsdae is van groot belang vir alle stoet, kommersiële en opkomende boere en ons hoop dit gaan ’n jaarlikse instelling word.

“The Stockman School is one of the very best conferences I have attended in 30 years of Agriculture”. The programme and interaction is world class. I would recommend attending the Stockman School to any forward-thinking farmer #awesome.

LRF should be congratulated on hosting another excellent Stockman School. A terrific line up of local and international speakers delivered interesting presentations and a wide range of relevant topics. I look forward to attending again in the future.
