To start off the day we attended a seminar at the Biosecurity Victoria, which is a sector of the Department of Primary Industries of Australia. This seminar was extremely interesting! The main topic was livestock identification. Australia has developed an extremely successful, mandatory livestock id program. This has been so successful because every part of the system cooperates together, this includes the government, producers, saleyards, and abattoirs (slaughterhouses). I really think the U.S. should consider adopting a cattle id system modeled after Australia's...it could work very well!
Today we also went to a brewery! It was really fun and educational. That was the first time I have been to a brewery and I learned a lot. we couldn't take any pictures inside of course, but it was really cool to see the packaging side of the operation. I have never seen so many bottles of beer! We also got to try some of the beers after our tour. Some of them were good and others were not so good. My favorite was the pear cider. One of the ladies who worked there even bought us all a round of drinks since we were the last tour of the day. Overall today was a lot of fun and I learned a lot!
