Listen Later

In this week's episode, podcast host Kerry Lonergan catches up with processor Roger Fletcher, the man behind Australia's most successful integrated sheep meat processing business, Fletcher International. In a wide ranging conversation, the pair discuss Roger's humble beginnings droving sheep around Glen Innes; the opportunities he seized along the way to help build his $1.4b empire; and current high lamb prices, and how sustainable they are.

Other topics of conversation include:

  • Why he never got into cattle
  • Expanding interests in Western Australia
  • Exclusion fencing
  • Today's challenges
  • Lot feeding sheep
  • Saying 'no' to Kerry Packer
  • ... and more
