Listen "Breeding in the fast lane with Alistair Campbell"
Episode Synopsis
One of the privileges of our roles in neXtgen Agri is the opportunity to learn from the experience of others. Alistair Campbell is a passionate sheep and cattle breeder, high country advocate and a genuinely fantastic person. I've had the pleasure of many evenings chatting with Alistair and thought that the world would like to hear from him too. We cover a range of topics around breeding sheep and cattle and finish with his passion for car racing which really does prove that mindset is everything.Earnscleugh Station is a large pastoral operation of 21,000 hectares (52,000 acres) based in Central Otago, in the South Island of New Zealand.Earnscleugh produces over 100 tonnes of high quality Merino wool annually and also has three cattle and six Merino sheep pedigree stud operations involving over 6,000 individually recorded animals.www.earnscleugh.co.nzA big thank you to our sponsors, Allflex Livestock Intelligence https://www.allflex.global/nz/Allflex Livestock Intelligence is the leader in design, development, manufacturing and delivery of animal monitoring, identification and traceability solutions.
