Show Notes
This week on the Head Shepherd Podcast, Mark catches up with a long-term colleague and friend, Darren Gordon. Darren is a sheep nutrition and breeding consultant for neXtgen Agri, based near Dunkeld in Victoria. The pair spent several years working together, researching and collating data for the Department of Primary Industries, which later went on to form the foundation of the Lifetime Ewe Management program.
Darren speaks of his various roles within the industry and the research projects that have shaped his consulting career and galvanized what he thought animals to be capable of. The pair both attribute a lot of their career success to the years of continuous assessment of pasture and animals and seeing how different genetics respond in different scenarios.
From their years of research, both Mark and Darren agree that stock performance comes down to 70% management and 30% genetics.
