Ross Anderson farms in Heyfield, in the MID of Gippsland, where he milks 500 crossbred cows which he likes to think of as really efficient factories, making the best use of their water allocation and keeping them fully fed and healthy to provide for the multiple families that they support.

Just a heads up this chat was recorded a little while ago, and since then the farm has certainly been wet, but Ross would much prefer it wet than being too dry. It really is a great chat, so let's get into it.

In the spirit of reconciliation we would like to acknowlegde the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
