Beef + Lamb New Zealand is the farmer-funded industry organisation for the country's sheep and beef farmers, and it is not a charity in the usual sense. Its office is in Wellington Chambers at 154 Featherston Street, in the Wellington CBD. The website says it provides trusted information about the sector, interactive planning and business tools, and research into on-farm productivity and genetics. It also works on market opportunities and trade barriers for New Zealand beef and lamb, and speaks for farmers with government policymakers. Recent work on the site includes flood recovery resources after the South Wairarapa flood event of 10 July 2026, an updated Employment Hub for farm employers, and Better Beef Breeding workshops, which drew more than 330 farmers across May and June.
The organisation's extension team, with Farmer Councils, is developing Regional Delivery Plans for work from October this year. Its website also invites sheep and beef farmers to comment on how on-farm training should work in future. The Wellington office is the place to find its policy and sector work, which the website describes as relevant to every farm, from large operations to small blocks.
