RBC's Jayne Cuddihy speaks to businesswoman Kylie Stretton in this weeks's BATB episode. Kylie and her husband Shane run a livestock agency and beef business outside Charters Towers in North Queensland.
Inspired by a holistic management course, and encouraged by a significant improvement in pasture coverage, they were looking at ideas to improve the carrying capacity and soil health, so invested in 30 chooks.
The hens not only produce delicious eggs that are sold locally through a direct marketing campaign, but they have made dramatic improvements to the pasture. https://www.facebook.com/clancelladowns
Kylie has had tremendous success with the use of social media as a marketing and educational tool.
