Imagine sheepbreeding reimagined? That's what Jake Wolki, a farmer and producer from Albury NSW is doing? He never wanted sheep on his farm and now they are his favourite and most valuable source of revenue in his business. 

Jake never takes his rams out, wants to breed all year round and doesn't cull for some of the other traits most of might cull for. 

This episode will flip your thinking on traditional sheep breeding and farming and Jake is refreshing and innovative in his thinking. I hope you enjoy this episode as much I I enjoyed chatting with Jake.
