This week, Mark catches up with Chad Taylor of Mumblebone Merinos, of Wellington, NSW, Australia.

Both Chad and Mark are fans of putting maternal traits with carcass traits on a wool producing animal. They discuss the benefits of putting fat and muscle in a Merino and how it has improved both Mumblebone's production, and also their clients.

They also cover succession and where Mark and Chad think the industry will be in 10 years time, what with all of the innovation happening in the industry right now.
