Practical, Commercial and a Simmy connection since the beginning with John Richard
John Richard has a remarkable story, we managed to grab him to sit down with him as he passed by the Simmental stand at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
His wealth of knowledge of the Simmental Breed goes right back to the very beginning, on his property at Kangaroo Valley in NSW, John placed some of the first semen into his cattle. Since then, he has seen plenty of the breed where he is still involved commercially at his property at Cassilis today.
John is a big picture thinker, he's chased big ideas and turned them into a reality. Over his lifetime, there have been numerous adversities but with grit and determination, John has been able to turn these into opportunities.
This episode feels like a history lesson as John talks through the ebbs and flows of cattle farming in Australia over the years.
