The Australian Brangus Cattle Association in conjunction with Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA), the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI) and six other tropical breed Societies have established the Tropical Beef Technology Services based in Rockhampton.

One of the TBTS main objectives is to provide field services to encourage tropical cattle breeders to use and understand BREEDPLAN performance data.
