Our guest this week needs little introduction. In this episode, Ferg catches up with Jamie Ramage, a passionate individual in the agricultural industry. Ferg and Jamie begin with one of their favourite topics: maternal efficiency. 

From there, the conversation covers the evolving landscape of sheep breeding, especially the shift towards composite sheep. We also dive into the ProBreed programme and glimpse into the future of sheep breeding in terms of shedding, wool and health traits, as well as the role marketing plays in the genetics space.

Jamie shares his experience running a motel and the lessons he’s learned about customer service and how they apply to running a farm business, especially one in the market of selling genetics. 

This podcast is a whopping 47 minutes long and covers a huge range of topics so, sit back, relax and listen in as Ferg and Jamie share their thoughts on the world of sheep breeding, genetics and much more.
