This week Mark catches up with Tony, Elise and Bernie Kealy of Curlew Merinos, Edenhope, Victoria.  The Kealys are a great example of successfully navigating the tensions of business and family being intertwined.  Their story is also a great example of how to involve the next generation in the business at a relatively young age.   
We cover how they run their successful enterprise as individuals but also as a team, and how they make the decisions they do.   We also cover how ASBVs have really allowed the Kealys to put the accelerator down on their breeding objectives, especially when the traits they're pushing for can often be antagonistic.
