This week on the Head Shepherd podcast, we have the wonderful Rozzie O'Reilly. Rozzie is from Narrandera, NSW, Australia, and currently works as Operations Manager at the largest prime lamb seedstock business, LambPro.

Bought up on a farm, after completing her Bachelor of Animal Science at the University of New England, Rozzie went on to complete a graduate program on a beef cattle feedlot in Queensland.  She then went on to work as a supervisor  at the mill at 23 years old which meant she learnt a lot in a short time, especially managing a team of 8.
 
After 6 years in the role, Tom Bull approached Rozzie to work for LambPro. Rozzie was ready to move closer to home and took the job offer. Five years later, here she is.

Rozzie and Mark go through Rozzie's role at LambPro- joining over 10,000 seedstock ewes with 4 breeding programme involves a lot of work! Data is the core of the LambPro business, so it's a hell of a job at that scale- Rozzie credits the success "to a very young and enthusiastic team".

In 2021, Rozzie was awarded the prestigious Zanda McDonald award and talks about her experience with the Platinum Primary Producers on her mentoring trip.

Rozzie is an asset to the Australian agricultural industry and this chat will light a fire in your belly.
