Annie Scott is an Angus Breeder and Advocate at ‘Karoo’, a 2,300-hectare farm and Angus stud between Bathurst and Lithgow, which Annie took over from her parents in 2008, with a later partnership with her father in 2018.

In this episode, Annie explains how extensive data collection combined with an improvement philosophy has allowed Karoo Angus to produce high-quality animals. She also discusses the importance of pasture management and why shifting their calving period to later in the season has contributed to their success.

Local Land Service Senior Ag Advisor, Lauren Costin, sat down with Annie at ‘Karoo’ for this far-reaching chat.

This episode is part one of our two-part chat with Annie.
