Ms Fagan was selected to be part of the three-day program to be held at Adelaide on June 1- to 3, which will give her the opportunity to learn more about leadership in the beef industry.

The GenAngus Future Leaders Program is run by Angus Youth and Achmea Australia to give young farmers the opportunity to attend workshops with industry professionals as they strive to start their own business or take a new leap in their current business.

Ms Fagan is one of nine successful applicants from across Australia who were picked to take part in the program for 2022 and she can't wait to get started.

"I am really excited about it, I've seen the program from previous years and thought one day it would be a really cool thing to do," Ms Fagan said.

"It all fell into place this year nicely so I'm very much looking forward to it."

Ms Fagan has been heavily involved in the cattle industry for most her life through her family business and since finishing school has taken part in bull selection, breeding programs and other aspects of animal management.

"I think because it is a business based programs I'm looking forward to strengthening those skills," she said.

"Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming and you can lack a bit of confidence.

"But it's a good chance to go strengthen your business knowledge and get a handle of that as well meeting like-minded people."
