00:00Congratulations, you've just been named the Most Potential Breeder for
00:04Hereford Youth Expo 2024. How does that feel?
00:07Oh, it feels surreal. When he called my name, I didn't think it was me for a second or two,
00:14and then I got up and I was sort of shaking a bit, and I think it will take me a few days,
00:20maybe a week, to realise actually what has happened.
00:24Yeah, so you're no stranger to the Herefords, obviously starting in 2018 with the Heifer Show
00:32and now coming through, and now you've bought quite a number of bullet heifers for other children as
00:39well. How is the heifer going to help you moving forward, and what are your plans for her?
00:45Yeah, she's a heifer that's going to really take my studs to the next level. She's going to bring
00:50in that genetics that I would have never been able to afford or source by myself, so this is
00:56really going to take that genetic gain to the next level. But she's also going to give me the next
01:01drive to want to do more for the youth, and like as we do this year, and we have every year, we
01:06bring heifers, and I think I'll definitely be bringing her back next year, and hopefully I'll
01:11bring back some of her progeny in the following years, and maybe sell a bull at the Dubbo Bull
01:16Sale, so I'm pretty excited to see where her future lies.
