Annalee Godwin, (F: Black Label Brangus) began her agricultural journey in her family’s Central Queensland's commercial livestock operation. Graduating from Rockhampton Grammar School in 2017, she boldly launched her own Brangus stud soon after at the age of 18, showcasing her early entrepreneurial spirit. Annalee's passion for the industry earned her a sponsored trip to the Houston Livestock Show by Brangus Australia in 2019, expanding her knowledge and network. Notably, she clinched the prestigious Burnham Youth Award in the same year, which recognised her positive contribution as a young person towards the breed. 

Annalee sought out opportunities to learn more about stud breeding, which lead her to spending three years working for NCC Brahmans. Now, as of 2023, Annalee has spent the year cutting her teeth in the north, challenging herself in a stock camp travelling around the NT.
