This week on the podcast, our guest is Amber Smith, the latest livestock consultant to join the neXtgen Agri team. Raised on a Merino stud in central-west New South Wales, Amber developed a deep connection to livestock early on, working with sheep, cattle, dogs and horses. After completing an honours degree in Animal Science at the University of New England, she ventured north to the cattle stations of the Northern Territory.

Returning south, Amber launched her own sheep contracting business, gaining valuable insights into different production systems, infrastructure efficiencies, and breed-specific management. Now, as part of our team, she's excited to work with farmers to improve productivity, genetics, and overall flock performance.

Based in New South Wales, Amber is ready to hit the road, meet clients, and apply her expertise to help farmers get the most out of their livestock.

Head Shepherd is brought to you by neXtgen Agri International Limited. We help livestock farmers get the most out of the genetics they farm with. Get in touch with us if you would like to hear more about how we can help you do what you do best: [email protected].
