Show Notes
This episode is part two of our two-part chat with Hamish Wald. In the last episode, Hamish discussed how fortunate he feels to be part of the sheep farming community and how his family decided to move away from exclusive wool farming and diversify with dual-purpose Dohnes Merinos, cattle, and cropping.
In this episode, Hamish dives into the effects of innovations such as genomics and fertility tracking for sheep farmers and discusses the importance of community, biosecurity, and flexibility in farming. He also shares how both of his children are preparing for a life in ag and how their plans were interrupted by COVID-19.
Local Land Services Senior Natural Resource Officer, Jasmine Wells sat down with Hamish for this far-reaching chat.
