In this episode, Tom sits down with Dr Holly Ludeman following her recent move to Milne AgriGroup as Group Veterinarian.

Holly shares her journey through veterinary practice, live export, advocacy and industry leadership, along with what drew her to Milne and why she’s passionate about supporting producers and regional communities.

The conversation also explores the future of livestock production, nutrition, animal welfare and the opportunities ahead for family farming businesses across Australia.

Tom Moir speaks with Milne Feeds Business Development Manager, Brett Blanchett, about our new sheep feed, Easy2Gro LM. Formulated with our Hyfibe and patent-pending LM technologies, Easy2Gro LM is designed to maximise performance while reducing methane emissions.

Brett explains how it differs from other products, outlines the expected performance benefits and shares figures on cost per kilo of liveweight gain.

He also provides an overview of our purpose-built feedlot trial facility in Mount Barker, detailing what can be measured, how trials are conducted and how conditions are structured to reflect real-world production systems.

Mark Francis is a Pingelly sheep farmer running a small-scale operation, but one that is quite intensive and is achieving great results from his feedlot, thanks to his effective feeding and management practices.

He’s adapted to his area well, and his combination of interests infeeding and genetics has very positive outcomes on his profitability.
