Short-term finance

So, we’ve been breeding sheep for about 120 years.

My great grandfather started the stud.

In any family farming business, the bank is so important.

Angus is now fifth generation, he is very dedicated towards keeping the property going and you know the future is there for him.

This generation is really lucky because technology has come onto farms now.

I grew up getting the clip board and the piece of paper in the sheep yards and physically reading the ear tag and then actually trying to find that number and flicking over heaps of pages.

Now it’s just a scan with a wand and all the information is there for you.

We’re really lucky that the bank is so supportive of any technology in the future.

We’ve come up with a prototype, hand-held instant micron machine.

It’s in its early stages, but we believe that it’s going to be more efficient on farm to make genetic evaluation on a live animal.

You’re always trying to grow your business and if you’ve got the support of the bank, you can do that.
