Blue has bought it, sold it, spread it and even punched it. If you're listening to this episode Jumbo, he is sorry. It was nothing personal.
Starting from his farm in Kadina SA, Blue has just about done it all. Somehow the accident prone Jack of all trades has done it without causing himself any permanent injuries or loss of limbs.
A top bloke who loves meeting people, his family and a beer; Blue loves to share his stories whether the end result works out well for him or not.
We hope you enjoy our chat with Blue.

From the Lofty ranges of Black Springs Ben has come to tell us that his VS was better cared for than others in a previous episode. There are breeds of sheep other than Merinos; he had a Polaris (which rhymes with Belarus) which was a "Bag of Snakes"; and that things are more difficult to grab when they're wet and slippery!
Keep an eye out for Wunderbar Lamb in your local butchers or if in the Central Market as has now been revealed. Keep up the good work; and thanks for the chat Ben.   ..read more

With his dad Jim they run a successful Poll Hereford stud "Garryowen" in South Australia and still will travel south of the border in the elusive search for something to bale.
Mark is still in relative terms finding his feet in a business that is both established....but expanding at the same time.
He is a bloke that has a red hot crack but is happy to have laugh at his own expense. We really enjoyed this chat and hope you do too.
Thank you Bugsy.  ..read more
